________________ THE EXTANT AGAMAS OF THE JAINAS 155 only other Āgama that can vie with it, to some extent in this respect, being Avassaya. As stated in Kalpasubodhikā (p. 7b) Pajjosaņākappa was read publicly for the 1st time in the assembly of King Dhruvasena in Vira Samvat 980 or 993. Further it is stated there that Sädhus used to recite it at night and Sadhvis used to hear it by day, too, according to the vidhi prescribed in Nisīhacunni. KAPPA This is a Cheyasutta. It is popularly known as Brhatkalpasūtra. Some name it as Brhatsādhukalpasūtra. It is divided into 6 uddesagas, and it deals with rules and regulations governing the lives of Jaina monks and nuns. Restrictions pertaining to their food, apparatuses, halting place etc. are here expounded, and expiations regarding violations or partial transgressions are prescribed. This Cheyasutta has some of the passages in common with other Agamas. As already noted on p. 43, this Kappa along with Vavahāra and Dasā forms one suyakkhandha. At times it is mentioned with Vavahāra only. It is difficult to fix up the date of the compilation of this Cheyasutta; but its 50th sutta? and the like may be helpful in this direction.
