________________ 50 A HISTORY OF THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS 4: Nistha, Nisthajjhayana, Ayarapagappal and Paggappa;2 Dasāsuyakkhandha, 4: Dasāsuyakkhandha, Āyaradasā, Dasā and Dasāsuya; Uttarajjhayana, 2 : Uttarajjhayana and Uttarajjhāyä?; Dasaveyāliya, 2: Dasaveyaliya and Dasakāliya; Caüsarana 2: Caüsarana and Kusalānubandhiajjhayaņa; Maranavihi, 2: Maranavihi and Maranasamāhi; and Jonipāhuda, 2 : Jonipāhuda and Jonivihāna. So far as the Samskrt titles of the anga-bāhira works are concerned, the 2nd uvanga has 3 titles viz. Rājapraśniya, Rājaprasenakiya and Rājaprasenjit (vide p. 33, fn. 2). Same is the case with Tandulavaicārika. For besides this title it has two more : Tandulavicārana and Tandulavaitālika (vide p. 50, fn 1 and p. 51). As na As noted on p. 2, some of the scriptures have their titles in plural. So they can be divided into two classes : (i) those having their titles in plural and (ii) those having them in singular. Angas 6 to 11, Uvangas 8 to 12, Uttarajjhayana, Dasā and Isibhāsiya and some noted on p. 23 belong to the former class whereas the rest to the latter class. It may be mentioned in passing that Pajjosaņākappa has a popular title viz. Kalpasūtra and Kappa, Brhatkalpasūtra. Another stand-point which can be utilized for the classification of the Āgamas is to note as to which of them have a common ending. On this basis we can form groups of Agamas which end in (i) dasā, (ii) vavāya, (iii) suya, (iv) ajjhayaņa, (v) bhāvaņā, (vi) pannatti, (vii) vibhatti, (viii) culiyā, (ix) nijjutti, (x) visohi, (xi) thaya, (xii) vijjā, (xiii) vihi, (xiv) veyaliya, (xv) paccakkhāna and (xvi) pariyāvaniya. The detailed list of all these 16 groups having corresponding endings may be given as under : 1. Angas 6 to 11, Vaņihadasā, Āyāradasā, Bandhadasā, Dogiddhidasā, Dihadasā4 1. This word occurs in Nisihabhāsa as can be seen from the following line occurring in D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pt. II, p. 10) :"आयारपगप्पस्स उ इमाई गोण्णाइं णामधिज्जाइं" See also Āyāranijjutti (v. 291). 2. Cf. D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, Pt. III, p. 437). 3. See p. 40, fn. 3, 4. This has 10 ajjhayanas some of which agree in name with those of Nirayavalisuyakkhandha-Narakāvalikāśrutaskandha as suggested by Abhayadeva Sūri in his com. (pp. 512-513) on Thāņa (X; s. 755).
