omission of certain words which according to him conveyed flesh-eating. 125 41 Dr. Amulya Chandra Sen has composed A Critical Introduction to the
Panhāvāgaranāim the Tenth Anga of the Jaina Canon; but as I have not
come across it, I cannot give any details. 140 * Keeping in mind the meanings of mūlaguna and uttaraguna and mūlaprakrti
and uttaraprakrti, Dr. A. M. Ghatage contrasts uttarāddhyayanāni with mülāddhyayanāni and says:
"The first expression should mean the latter group of chapters as contrasted with an earlier group of chapters. That they may refer to the two books Daśavaikālika and Uttaradhyayana is probable from the fact that both of them are divided into ajjhayanas or addhyayanas. Not so the first book of this list. The six Avaśyaka tracts are only known by the name sūtra and they can be only referred to by an expression like mūlasutra.
To conclude, it may be suggested that the expression mūlasūtra 'sūtra texts to be studied at the beginning of the svādhyāya' referred to the Avaśyaka formulae, the expression Mülāddhyayana referred to the first group of addhyayanas now forming the Daśavaikālika and the next thirtysix chapters got the name Uttarādhyayana. Later on, however, the first name was extended to cover the three books together and still later a fourth book was added, which was either the Pindaniryukti or the
Oghaniryukti."--"The Title Mülasūtra” (p. 11). 144 1 As regards the metres of Dasaveyaliya, the reader may refer to p. 119, fn.
1, p. 157, fn. 1, Prof. K. V. Abhyankar's article “Dissertation on an old metre etc.” published in "Gujarat College Magazine” (No. 31 of February 1931), The Daśavaīkalikasūtra : A Study (chs. I-VI, pp. 20-27 & chs. VII-XII, pp. 101-106) and Chandoracanã (p. 69). In this last work v. 2 of Dasaveyaliya (IV) is quoted
as an illustration of the use of 371, and 31 as short vowels. 147 * This work is styled as prakarana by Siddhasena Gani in his com. (pt. I, p.
136) on Tattvärtha. 147 * Caraka and Suśruta are mentioned in the com. (p. 42") of Ohanijjutti. 148 * This is also the name of a work on dramaturgy. Vide Bhāsa's Avimāraka
(TSS No. 20, p. 16). 148 4 Kappăsa (Sk. Kārpāsa) is mentioned in v. 12 of Ohanijjuttibhāsa. 150 41 and especially when the word vägaranam intervenes purānam and
