THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
Jhānasayal consists of about 106 verses, and it is composed by Jinabhadra Gani Kșamāśramaņa. It is an exposition of meditation.
Pāritthāvaniyānijjutti2 comprises about 153 verses, and Padikkamanasangahaņī about 80 verses. Some of the topics dealt with, in the latter are : 7 types of fear, 9 kinds of brahmaguptis, 10 types of dharma, 11 pratimās of a Jaina layman and 12 of a saint, 13 kriyasthānas, 14 gunasthānas, 15 Paramādhārmikas, 16 ajjhayanas of Sūyagada (I), 17 kinds of self-control, 18 types of noncelibacy, 19 ajjhayaņas of Nāyādhammakahā (I), 22 hardships, 28 ajjhayaņas of Āyāra including Nistha, 29 types of pāpa-śruta and 31 attributes of the liberated. So leaving aside these two sections and Jhānasaya, Paờikkamananijjutti contains about 227 (51+60+5+111) verses. Therein Jogasangaha having about 60 verses has the 1st verse in common with Samavāya (s. 32). It runs as under :
"आलोयणनिरवलावे आवईसु दढधम्मया । अणिस्सओवहाणे य सिक्खा णिप्पडिकम्मया ॥"
Kāüssagganijjutti and Paccakkhāṇanijjutti consist of about 172 and 94 verses respectively.
Prof. E. Leumann has noted that Bhadrabāhusvāmin's Avassayanijjutti is the 1st redaction. This is due to his surmise that this work and Mūlāyāra (VII)3 are based upon some common source which he names as "originalNiryukti” consisting of 170 stanzas.
Dasaveyaliyanijjutti-This is a Nijjuttion Dasaveyaliya. It consists of about 447 verses. Out of them there are about 63 verses belonging to its Bhāsa, and they mostly occur in the Nijjutti of the 4th ajjhayaņa. Haribhadra Suri in his com. (p. 84a) to it has noted one verse as भिन्नकर्तकी. In this Nijutti we come across the nikkhevas of एक्कअ (v. (v. 9), 4 (v. 34), 94 (v. 34), FH (v. 39), FHU (v. 153), 14 (v. 161), 9 (v. 166), 379 (v. 179, ita (v. 222), de (v. 269), para (v.283). Ter (v. 328). Ha (v. 333), etc.. and niruttas of 37MM

This is referred to by Haribhadra Suri in his com. (p. 329-32) on Dasaveyāliya. Its 15th verse defines sutta. It is as below: "पुव्वावरसंजुत्तं वेरग्गकरं सतंतमविरुद्धं । पोराणमद्धमागहभासानिययं हवई सुत्तं ॥" 189 verses of this are printed in Av. Lit. (pp. 16-19). On the one hand this work is commented upon by Vasunandin in his Acaravrtti (VII) and on the other hand by Aparājita and Āsādhara in Dharmāmsta.
