GENESIS OF THE JAINA SCRIPTURES nişadyā in Samskrta. Furthermore, all the three questions are collectively known as nisadyātraya in Sanskrta.2 Similarly every answer that the Lord gave goes by the name of pada, mātrkāpada,3 or adesai in Samskrta and all collectively by the name of tripadīs or padatrayit or the like.7

See p. 4, fn. 1. See p. 4, fn. 1. Also see the following (last) line of the 2nd verse of Apāpāpurīsanksiptakalpa of Jinprabha Sūri :
"जग्रन्थुादशानी भवजलधितरी ते निषधात्रयेण" Kalpakiraņāvali (p. 120b) of Dharmasāgara Upadhyāya may be also referred to. Haribhadra Sūri in his com. (p. 7a) on Dasaveyāliya and its Nijjutti (v. 8) says: "एकं मातृकापदं, तद् यथा-'उप्पनेइ वा' इत्यादि, इह प्रवचने दृष्टिवादे समस्तनयवादबीजभूतानि मातृकापदानि भवन्ति, तद् यथा-उप्पन्नेइ वा, विगमेइ वा, धुवेइ वा," See p. 24, fn. 4 See the following verse of Dhanapāla's Tilakamanjari: "नमो जगन्नमस्याय मुनीन्द्रायेन्द्रभूतये । यः प्राप्य त्रिपदी वाचा विश्वं विष्णुरिवानशे ॥ १९॥" Muniratna's Amamacaritra, Devananda Suri's Gautamāstaka (v. 2.), Laksmivallabha's Kalpadrumakalikā (p. 141a and p. 141b) and Vinayavijaya Upadhyāya's Subodhikā (p. 118a) may be also consulted. See Samantabhadra's Svayambhūstotra (v. 114), too. See the following verse of Trisastisalakāpurusacaritra (1, 3) :"उत्पादो विगमो ध्रौव्यमिति पुण्यां पदत्रयीम् । उद्दिदेश जगन्नाथ: सर्ववाङ्मयमातृकाम् ॥ ६५८ ॥" Devendra Suri, too, has used this word in his com. (v. 1) on his own work Kammavivāga (v. 60). Laksmana Gani says in Supāsanāhacariya (patthāva III Pt. 1, p. 97) - the work composed by him in Vikrama Samvat 1199
"पणनुवइसंखमुणिपुंगवाण सयलत्थसंगहपराई । उप्पन्नविगमधुवलक्खणाई तिनेव य पयाई ।। २०३ ।। कहियाइं तओ अन्तोमुहुत्तमेत्तेण तयणुसारेण । तक्कालुल्लसियअउव्वबुद्धिविहवप्पभावेण ॥ २०४ ॥ पुव्वभवब्भत्थसमत्थसत्थपरमत्थवित्थरवसेणं ।
सव्वेहिं विरइयाई दुवालसंगाई, एवं च ॥ २०५ ॥" I do not remember to have noted a Prākrta equivalent of tripadi like tivai, in the Jaina literature.
