________________ THE EXTANT ĀGAMAS OF THE JAINAS 133 (s. 586) and 7 schisms (s. 587). In section VIII we come across 8 types of philosophers (s. 607), 8 mahānimittas (s. 608), 8 vibhaktis (cases) with illustrations2 (s. 609) etc. Therein the 8 types of philosophers are: (1) Egāvādis or Monists, Theists or Monotheists, (2) Anegāvādis or Pluraists, (3) Mitavādis or Extensionists, (4) Nimittavādis or Cosmogonists, (5) Sayavādis or Sensualists, (6) Samucchedavādis or Annihilationists, (7) Nitävādis or Eternalists and (8) Na-santi-paraloga-vādis or Materialists-Hedonists. In section X we have 10 types of dravyānuyoga (s. 727), 10 kinds of satya (s. 741), 10 sorts of suddhavākyä 744), 10 types of calculations (s. 747), 10 sections of the Angas 7 to 9 (s. 755), 10 kinds of sons (s. 762) and 10 sorts of wonders (s. 777). At times these enumeration contain parables in a nutshell. As for example there are 4 kinds of baskets and also of teachers; there are 4 sorts of fish and also of mendicants; and there are 4 varieties of ball and also of men etc. SAMAVAYA This is the 4th Arga. It is divided into 160 suttas. These mostly deal with objects according to their number, and thus in a way continue the subject-matter of the 3rd Anga; for, suttas 1 to 135 enumerate The pertinent portion is as under: "सकता पागता चेव दहा भणितीओ आहिया । HHSMA fora Ace STAHIHUT II” (p.394) This very verse with a variant " $311 sifa athuot ar" for the 2nd foot occurs in Aņuögaddāra (p. 131). In Mrcchakațika (III) the word Sakkaya is used in the sense of Sanskrit. In short this is a svaramandala, and it is entirely reproduced in Anuögaddāra (s. 127). See E. Leumann's article "Die alten Berichte von den Schismen der Jaina” Published in Indischen Studien (vol XXII, pp. 91-135). The 6 verses given in this connection occur almost ad verbatim in Anuögaddāra (s. 128). 3 "दसविधे सुद्धावाताणुओगे पं० २०-चंकारे १ मंकारे २ पिंकारे ३ सेतंकारे ४ सातंकरे ५ एगत्ते ६ पुचत्त ७ संजूहे <schaft PE So," 4 “Rra acercanudani # har" -Siddhasena Gani's com.
