A HISTORY OF THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
That this v. 117 belongs to a Puvva, is corroborated by the words "तत्प्रतिपादिका चेयं पूर्वान्तर्गाथा" occurring in Devendra Suri's vivrti on Kammavivāga (v. 4). These words are followed by the 117th verse noted above.
___Maladharin Hemacandra while commenting on v. 128 ("बुद्धिद्दिटे") identifies it as a gāthā from a Puvva. While commenting on v. 2335 of Visesão he observes on p. 946 :
"आत्मप्रवादनामकं पूर्वमधीयानस्य तिष्यगुप्तस्यायं सूत्रालापकः सा (?स)मायातस्तद् यथा- "एगे भंते ! जीवपएसे जीवे त्ति वत्तव्वं सिया ? नो इणढे समढे । एवं दो, तिन्नि, जाव दस, संखेज्जा, असंखेज्जा भंते ! जीवपएसा जीव त्ति वत्तव्वं सिया ? । नो इणढे समढे, एगपएसूणे वि णं जीवे नो जीवे त्ति वत्तव्वं सिया । से केणं अटेणं ? । जम्हाण कसिणे पडिपुन्ने लोगागासपएसतुल्ले जीवे त्ति वत्तव्यं सिया, से तेणं अटेणं" इति ।"]
In the com. (p. 960) on v. 2390 of Visesa° he says :
"तत्र च्छिन्नच्छेदनकनयवक्तव्यतायामालापकाः समायाताः, तद् यथा-"पडुप्पन्नसमयवनेरइया सव्वे वोच्छिज्जिस्संति, एवं जाव वेमाणिय त्ति, एवं बीयाइसमएसु वि वत्तव्वं" ।"
Abhayadeva Suri in his com. (p. 9A) on Pancasaga, notes the following verse as occurring in Puvvagaya :
"जारिसओ अइभेओ जह जायइ जह य तत्थ दोसगुणा ।
जयणा जह अइयारा भंगो तह भावणा नेया ॥" For, there he says : "न चेयं गाथा न प्रमाणं पूर्वान्तर्गततयाऽस्याः प्रतिपादनात् ।" Vinayavijaya in Lokaprakāsa (III, V. 803 f.) says on p. 51" : "उक्तं च भाष्यकृता
"सदसदविसेसणाओ भवहेउजहिच्छिओबलंभाओ । नाणफलाभावओ मिच्छद्दिहिस्स अन्नाणं ॥"3 पूर्वान्तर्गतेयं गाथा ।"
So this gāthā, too, belongs to some Puvva.
Before we proceed further we may note that in Visesa° (v. 2513), its author alludes to Kamappavāya Puvva. The pertinent verse is as under :
"कम्मप्पवायपुव्वे बद्धं पुटुं निकाइयं कम्मं । जीवपएसेहिं समं सूईकलावोवमाणाओ ॥२५१३॥"
1. Cf. Kotyācārya's com. (p. 687). 2. In Kotyācārya's com. (p. 699) we have a variant "464444344771" for this. It appears that
the entire alávaga is not given here. 3. This very verse occurs four times in Visesão as v. 115, 319, 521 and 2844.
