literature we could have come across the name of at least one of the 1st 11 Angas wherein the word kāliya would have occurred in virtue of these Āngas being called kāliyāsuya, a fact noted on p. 29.
Prof. Schubring has made an ingenious suggestion in his introduction (pp. iv-v) of The Dasaveyāliya Sutta as under : "an is the Prakrit substitute for more than one Sanskrit word.”1
In the fn. to this he says: “Besides a af stato connected with the evening time' it may be वैचारिक, वैतारिक and वैतालिष्क.2 In the canonical Jaina work dogodefectu it is the first of these three words.”
Dasaveyaliya is divided into 10 ajjhayanas. Of them the 5th has two sub-divisions known as uddesas and the 9th 4 whereas the rest have none. Ajjhayaņas I-III, V-VIII and X are entirely in verse. Ajjhayaņa IV4 begins with a number of passages in prose and ajjhayaņa IX has some
tions in prose intersepted by verses. The titles of one and all these ajjhayaņas are significant. They are: (1) Dumapupphiyā, (2) Sāmaņņapuvvaga, (3) Khuddiyāyārakahā, (4) Chajjīvaniyā, (5) Piņdesaņā?, (6) Dhammatthakāma®, (7) Vakkasuddhi'. (8) Ayārappaņihi, (9) Vinayasamāhi and (10) Sabhikkhu. These titles can be respectively translated as (1) (a parable) pertaining to flowers of a tree, (2) (the chapter) commencing with monkhood, (3) a brief exposition of conduct, (4) six groups of living beings, (5) search for food, (6) exposition of dharma, (7) purity of speech, (8) restriction to conduct, (9) devotion to discipline and (10) he is a saint. These titles indicate the topics discussed in this work. So it will suffice to add that eulogy of dharma, firm faith in it, code of discipline and ahiṁsā (noninjury) are the main features of this Mülasutta.

They are : data, dafta, dafta, arany and faciat. I think this is a slip, if it is not a misprint. It should be darma. These have 5, 11, 15, 100+50, 69, 57, 64 and 21 verses respectively. This ajjhayana has 29 verses. The 1st 3 uddesas of IX has 17, 23 and 15 verses whereas the 4th 7. This is named as Dhammapannatti in this very chapter and in Dasaveyāliyanijjutti (v. 16) as well. Cf. the 1st ajjhayaņa of Ayāra (II) and Lokaprakāśa (III, 1396-1407) This is also called Mahāyārakahā. See the 4th ajjhayana of Āyāra (II).
