________________ THE EXTANT ĀGAMAS OF THE JAINAS 119 It appears that formerly there was only the 1st suyakkhandha comprising the following 9 ajjhayaņas : (1) Satthapariņņā, (2) Logavijaya, (3) Siosanijja, (4) Sammatta, (5) Logasāra, (6) Dhuya, (7) Mahāpariņņā, (8) Vimokkha, and (9) Uvahāņasuya. By the time Bhadrabāhusvāmin wrote a Nijjutti on Ayara there were Āyāraggas added to this 1st section.2 Ayāragga means a Cūlikā. So says Sīlānka Sūri in his com. (p. 6b) on Ayāra. From Ayaranijjutti (v. 11)3 we learn that Ayāra, the 1st Anga, herein styled as Veda, has 9 ajjhayanas each known as Bambhacera.4 It consists of 18000 payas (Sk. padas), has 5 Cūlās and is vast and vasters on account of the extent of the padas. Nowhere in the Ayāranijjutti, we come across the names of all the 5 Cūlās. From its v. 2976 we learn the names of Cūlās 2 to 5. They are (1) Sattikkagā, (2) Bhāvaņā, (3) Vimutti and (4) Ayarapakappa. Further we learn that the 1st Cūlā consists of 7 ajjhayaņas, and so is the case with the 2nd Cūlā. Each of the rest has however only one 8 1 These are the names given in Ayāranijjutti (v. 31-32) quoted on p. 82, fm. 3. All these except the 7th are translated in S. B. E. (vol. XXII) as knowledge of the weapon, conquest of the world, hot and cold, righteousness, essence of the world, cleaning, liberation and the pillow of righteousness respectively. 2. "374PTURAIT zs As y ferung Pfarrei THB 118 " -Āyāranijjutti Ayāragga is also called Ayāranga. See p. 120, fn. 2. 3 See p. 83, fn. 3. Cf. "Ta QVET ETT, 5761-Arrufunt fatuit etc.--Samaväya (s. 9) See also Samavāya (s. 51) and stāńka's com. (p. 290a) on Ayāra. For explanation see p. 83, fn. 3. 6 "CE547347 TGHT AFTER IT Pa537C I YTAUT-Ray ft- Ruchat fafa 537 el PSG 11" 7 On this understanding can it not be named as Sattikkagā as has been done in the case of the 2nd Cūlā ? 8 Thus the 1st 4 Cūlās have 16 ajjhayanas. Their names are given as under by Malayagiri Suri in his com. (p. 211%) on Nandi by way of a quotation : "POSHUT (3) for(?) Fret (3) HEIRAT () Japer () NIGHT (E) ! 376fSHT (1) A R T (-88) 4 wau (34) fant (8E) 1" Herein there are no specific names for ajjhayaņas 8-14. In a way this is justifiable since each of them is spoken of a Sattikkayā or Sattikkagā or the like. However, from the ending portion of each of them we learn the names of the 1st four Sattikkagās as Thānā, Nisihiyā, Uccāra pāsavana, and Sadda respectively. The rest can be named as Rūva, Parakiriya and Annamannakiriya. ending portoken of all arounas 8-12 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
