CLASSIFICATIONS OF THE ĀGAMAS
parables and the like; ganitānuyoga of which kālal is a synonym, is associated with mathematics; and Dravyānuyoga2 deals with philosophymetaphysics, logic etc.
The Āgamas can be also classified according to the number of their titles; for, there are at least some Agamas which have more than one title. For instance, out of the 12 Angas, the 2nd has 3 : Sūtagada, Suttakada and Sūyagada, the 5th 5 : Bhagavatīviyāhapannatti, Bhagavatī, Viähapannatti, Vivāhapannatti and Pannatti; 4 the 10th 2 : Panhāvāgarana and Panhāvāgaranadasā and the 12th 10 : Ditthivāta, Heuvāta, Bhūyavāta,5 Taccāvāta, Sammāvāta, Dhammāvāta. Bhāsavijata, Puvvagata, Anujogagata and Savvapāṇabhūtajīvasattasuhāvaha. It may be mentioned en passant that the 6th, 7th and 9th Angas have more than one title in Saṁskrt, though each has only one in Prākrt. To be explicit, the 6th Anga has 3 : Jñātādharmakathā, jñātādharmakathā? and Jñātrdharmakathāl; the 7th 2 : Upāsakadaśā and Upāsakādhyayanadaśā; and the 9th 2 : Anuttaraupapātikadašā and Anuttaropapātikadaśā.
Turning to the anga-bāhira works, we find that some of them, too, have more Prakrt titles than one. As for example, the 1st Uvanga has 2 : Ovavaiya and Uvavāïya; the 3rd 2 : Jivābhigama and Jivājīvābhigama; and the 8th 2 : Nirayāvaliyā and Kappiyā. Out of the remaining Agamas, Nistha has

"सूयगडं अङ्गाणं बिइयं तस्स य इमाणि । सूतगडं सुत्तकडं सूयगडं चेव गोण्णाई ॥२॥" 4. This name occurs in Antagadadasā (vagga VI, para 2) and in Vivăgasuya
(suyakkhandha I, ajjhayana 2). The pertinent lines are respectively as under :“तए णं से मकाई गाहावई इमीसे कहाए लद्धढे जहा पण्णत्तीए गंगदत्ते"
"इन्दभूड़ नाम अणगारे जाव लेस्से छटुंछट्टेण जहा पण्णत्तीए" 5. Instead of this we have Bhūyāvāya, too (vide p. 11, fn. 1). 6. "दिट्टिवायस्स णं दस नामवेज्जा पं० तं०-दिट्ठिवातेति वा हेउवातेति वा भूयवातेति वा तच्चावातेति वा सम्मावातेति

"तद्यथा-आचार:, सूत्रकृतं, स्थानं, समवायो, व्याख्याप्रज्ञप्तिः, ज्ञातृधर्मकथा, उपासकाध्ययनं अंतृकृद्दश, अनुत्तरौपपातिकदश, प्रश्नव्याकरणं, विपाकसूत्रं, दृष्टिवाद इति ।"
