THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
Sarapāhuda (Svaraprābhrta) is mentioned by Abhayadeva Sūri in his com. (p. 395b) on Thana (VII, s. 553). Similarly Nadayavihipähuda (Nātyavidhiprābhrta) is referred to by Malayagiri Sūri in his com. (p. 52b) on Rāyapaseņaijja (s. 23). Dukkhamāpāhuda (Duḥsamāprābhrta) is mentioned by Devendra Suri in his yantra viz. Dvisahasrayugapradhānasvarūpa where he attributes this work to Bhadrabāhusvāmin. See DCGCM (No. 828 of 1895-1902). Païtthāpāhuda (Pratisthāprābhrta) is alluded to by Ratnasekhara Sūri in his com. on Sraddhavidhi. See (p. 95). Pahudas 19-26 are mentioned in the cunni (p. 3b) on Dasā as the sources from which Bhardrabāhusvāmin extracted the ten ajjhayanas of Dasā of these very names. The pertinent lines are as under:
“सव्वाण वि दसाण अत्थो भगवया भासितो सुत्तं गणधरेहिं कतं । डहरीतो नु इमातो निजूढा दिट्ठिवायातो नवमातो पुव्वातो असमाधिठाण पाहुयातो 'असमाधिठाणं' एवं सेसाओ वि सरिसनामेहिं पाहुडेहिं निजूढाओ । केण ? (थेरेहिं) भद्दबाहुहिं नित्यमात्मनि गुरुसु च बहुवचनं तेहिं थेरिहिं ।"
Pejjadosapāhuda (Preyodvesaprābhrta) is looked upon as the basis of Gunadhara's Kasāyapāhuda. While commenting on Tattvārtha (II, 14) on p. 119 Haribhadra Suri has quoted the following two verses from some pāhsuņa for while doing so he has said : "FAT JE 9 Te:''
"परिगप्पिद संपुड तत्तिगा य तह तत्तिग त्ति चउभेआ। धम्मा भावाण जए विण्णे आ बुद्धिमंते हिं ॥ पावे यरेहिं सुहसाहणाइं जगमुत्तिभायणं चेव ।
HUETE 34 TET TAT I JEHO !!” In the introduction to Nirvana-kalikā (p. 6) attributed to Pādalipta Sūri, it is said that the Pāhudas were composed between the period ranging from the life-time of Bhadrabāhusvāmin to the 2nd century A. D. If so, these cannot be looked upon as sections of the Puvvas composed by the Ganadharas.
Āyārapāhuda, Kappapāhuda and Kammapayadipāhuda-I have not come across a description pertaining to any one of these Pahudas except that as stated in Vividhatirthakalpa (p. 5) Bhadrabāhusvāmin extracted Satruñjayakalpa from Kalpaprābhrta, and Vajrasvāmin and Padalipta Sūri abridged it. In Brhatkalpasūtra commentary on page 418 it is stated that on attaining the knowledge of tāyāra' vatthu one attains kālajñāna.
