THE PATTAVALI OF THE UPAKESA-GACHCHHA.
239
Sravakas had committed an outrage in mutilating the image and depriving it of its round parts (kald); and that, in consequence, the town of Upakosa would gradually become deserted (uddha), & schism would arise in the gachchha and quarrels among the Srávakas, and the guilds (góshļhika) would be dispersed in all directions. The Acharya replied, “O great goddess, wbat must be, that must be, but do thou stop the flowing of the blood." The goddess said, - "All the 18 gôtras, vix., the nine right-hand ones, [1, Tatabada, 2, Vapaņâ, 3, Karnata, 4, Valaharî, 5, Môraksha, 6, Kulahata, 7, Virahata, 8, 'Srêsůmála, 9, 'Srêshti), and the nino left-hand ones (1, Suchantî, 2, Aïchana (or Adrachana?), 3, Bhari (Bhêtavara), 4, Ligâśâkhâ-chhaibhadra (or Vaibhadra ?), 5, Chichata, 6, Kumbhata, 7, Dindů, 8, Ranôja, 9, Laghuérêshti] must assemble, and, after having kept a fast for three days, they must bathe (the image) with a jar of clarified butter (ghrita), a jar of curds (dadhi), a jar of sugarcane-juice, a jar of milk, and a jar of water; in no other way will it be possible to stop (the flow of blood)." In the three hundred and third year (303) after the day of the setting up (of the image) of Mahavira and its original consecration, the loss of the two knobs on the breast of Mahavira occurred by the act of fate (daivya-yôgát).30
(14-16) Kakka-Sûri was succeeded by — (14) Dévagupta-Sari, (15) Sri-Siddha-Suri; (16) Sri-Ratnaprabha-Sari.
(17) After them, in due order, in the 585th year after Mahavira, there was (babhava) Srl. Yakshadeva-sari. He was a man of great power (mahá-prabhava-karta). During the • famine (durbhiksha) which lasted for 12 years, the four disciples of Vajrasens, the disciple of
Vajrasvâmin, vix. Någêndra, Chandra, Nivritti and Vidyadhara, were, after the death of their Guru Vajrasena, initiated by Yaksbadêva, and established four sákhas.
(19-33). He was succeeded by (19) Kakka-Suri, (20) Sri-Devagupta-Suri, (21) SriSiddha-Sari, (22) Sri-Ratnaprabha-Sari, (23) Yakshaddva-Sari, (24) Kakka-sari, (25) Devagupta-Sari, (26) Siddha-sari, (27) Ratnaprabhs-Suri, (28) Yakshadeva-suri, (29) Kakka-Sari, (30) Dovagupta-Sari, (31) Siddha-Sari, (32) Ratnaprabha-Sari (33) Yakshadéva-Suri.
(34) He was succeeded by (34) Kakkudacharya, who performed the penance called shashțhatapa with achamla for twelve years.31 By means of a hyran in praise of him, the Seth Sômaka, in Marotakota, had his fetters broken. He then resolved to go and worship the feet of him, through the praise of whose name he had got rid of his bonds. So he went to Bharuvachchha (Bharôch), where he arrived just when all the Munis had gono on their rounds of hegging. Only the goddess Sachchikå (spelt here Sachyaka) was in attendance on the Guru, and the door was closed. On seeing this, he began to form suspicions, whereupon Sachchika "gave him a lesson"32 (sikshá dattá), and he began to vomit blood from his mouth. When the Munis returned, the oldest disciple (vriddha-ganosa)33 informed the Guru, that the Sath Soraka was lying at his door. The Acharya at once understood that this was Sachchika's doing ; so the goddess was called, and Sômaka was asked what he had done. Ho replied, - "Lord, I have done wrong." (They reproved him), “Thou sinner, how should the Guru

te time. The meal is taken on the eveninr of the third day, before sumot (doo ny edition of the Uvasagadasão, Vol. II. p. 51, footnote 141). Ichamla is a Jain technical term meaning the cating of dry food simply moistened or boiled in water." The term is said to be compound of ach and amla; the former ia said to mean Abravana, i. e. boiling in water;' and the latter is said to moan 'Tegetablo' (tar'ler). The whole conpound is said to mean rúkha bhojan pani kt adth bhijo ke khand, i... 'to eat dry food moistened with water. The object, of course, is to intensify the hardship of the fast; only one meal is to be enton every third day, and that meal is to consist only of dry food moistened in water. KakkudAchArya kopt this fast for twelve years in ug. broken continuity.

» Any disciple, who is put in charge of a few others by his Acharya, is called Gandsa. If there are neveral such Gandias, the oldest among them, i.e. he who was first made A Gandia by his Acharya, is called Vriddha. Ganeša.
