In v. 6 Kappa is mentioned. In v. 50 there is a reference to a syllogism consisting of 5 members and to one having 10, and in v. 157 a Jaina saint is compared with several objects. Four varieties of gahiyapaya viz. gajja, pajja, geya and cunna are given in v. 170, and the following 4 verses define them. Verse 188 states four types of narration whereas the subsequent ones up to 201 deal with their varieties.1 Verses 220, 221 and 224 explain the nature of the soul. In v. 252-253 are enumerated 24 kinds of corn and in v. 254-255 24 kinds of jewels. Verses 259-262 deal with erotic, and v. 351 mentions 8 qualities of gold.2 Uttarajjhayaṇanijjutti-This comprises about 600 verses. In v. 913 there is mention of Bhaddabahu, in v. 97 that of Ajjarakkhiya and in v. 1044 that of Thulabhadda with the honorific bhayavam. These are no doubt instances of anachronism; but they can be justified in the light of the remarks made on p. 180. This Nijjutti deals with nikkhevas of several words and gives synonyms, 6 too. It mentions suvaṇṇabhūmi in v. 120 and Vasavadattā and Udayana in v. 148.

Samaraiccacariya (pp. 2-3), Upamitibhavaprapañcākatha (v. 25-50), Kuvalayamālā of Uddyotana Suri and Thana (IV, 2; s. 282). Ac. Haribhadra's Samarāïccakahã, as it is popularly known, is styled as Samaramayaṁkākahā by Uddyotanasuri in his Kuvalayamālā. It is cited as an example of sakalakatha by Ac. Hemacandra in his Kāvyānusāsana. For details see Prof. A. M. Ghatage's article "Daśavaikālika-Niryukti" published in The Indian Historical Quarterly (vol. XI, No. 4, pp. 627-639). Therein he observes: (i) "The commentator is clearly far-fetched and twisting in interpreting udaharanas as the dṛstantas of the logical syllogisms." -p. 637 (ii) "Haribhadra's opinion that a vauliya is a reference to the school of the Nastikas is not very accurate." -p. 638 3-4 These are the Nos. according to D.
