THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
MAY, 1891.
treated of in all the four preceding parts of the drishtivada. [361] The text, however, takes pains to limit them to the first four puuras.
In the final remarks in reference to the complete extent of the diffhivaa, the following parts are ascribed to it, - l suyakkhandha, 14 provas, sarkheyya "computable" (perhaps ** innumerable," see above, p. 281) vatthu and chûla(chulla N)vatthu, 48 and páhuda (prabhạita), på hudapühuda, pahudiya and påhudiyapahudiya, to which the same epithet is attached. The payasa hassa, 19 akkhara, &c., are characterized by the same epithet, i.e., samkheyya.
Though the scholia fail to explain further the words påhuda, &c., they manifestly signify the same as chapter, paragraph, &c., and are actually se used50 in upångas 5, 7; and in anga 10 (see p. 333), the word páhuda is used in connection with the 14 puvvas. In the Anuyôgadvårasûtra (end of the pamâna section), the ditthiraa is said to be computed according to prihoda, pahudia, pâhudapähudia, and according to vatthu. This method of counting is said in the Anuyôgadvarasútra to be similar to the division of the káliu sua, i.e., into addesaga, ajjhayaņa, suak kandha, anga, which is there contrasted with the dirthivda. Vatthu appears in up. 6 as the name of the sections of up. 5 and 7, in which it no longer occurs in this signification.
If we now cast a glance at the entire field of information which we possess in regard to [362) the twelfth anga, it is manifest that, though this anga had a genuine existence, nerertheless the information at our command produces an impression of less weight than that concerning the previous eleven aigas. In the case of the latter we possess the texts themselves as a means of verification, but in the case of the twelfth aiga there is no such help upon which we can rely.
These statements, and especially those in reference to the 14 púrvas, are, however, not purely fictitions. This is clear from the citations adduced above in our consideration of each, and especially of 2- 47-10, and from traditions in reference either to the extracts from them or to their relations to the origin of some of the seven schisms. Another proof of the validity of these statements lies in the fact that the number of the vatthus, máuyápadáni and suttáni, contained in the dirthiv., which is mentioned in anga 4 $$ 13-16. 18. 20. 25. 46 and 88 is in direct agreement with the later statement of contents. Finally the name påhuda in anga 10 appears in direct connection with the 14 puvvas. At the period of the Avaśyakasůtra, especially, and at that of the Anuyôgadvarasútra these texts must still have existed, and perhaps even at the time of the older commentaries (cf, e.g., p. 347n.), if the statements of the latter are not mere reproductions of old traditions. See p. 225.
The statement of the contents of anga 12 is found in anga 4, or Nandi (N), and is as follows:

4* The number of vatthu and chilav, for the 14 purta at least, was shortly before (cf. p. 389) stated with exactness in the text itself.

50 The name pahuda is found in the Siddhapaichasika of Dêvêudrasûri in 50 gathas. The author, in v. 1, says that he has taken his material sirisiddhapahulas. See above p. 354. 41 ABC, Ovan& N.
