SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS.

8. Mahîsayaa (sayaga V) in Rayagiha. 9. Namdiņipiya (pitar), in Sâvatthi. 10. Lêtiâpia (opitar), in Sâvatthi.
Vardhamanadeband is the title of a metrical treatment in Praksit gathês of the contents of this anga, to which I have had access. The MS. is cut short at v. 865 in the history of Ananda. An interlineal version in Sanskrit accompanies the Prakrit; its first verse cites the title Vardho. The sixth name is the same (v. 8) as in SV: kôliaé (kôlika), the eighth (v. 9) Mahâsayaņa (but sataka in the chháyd), the tenth Téalipið (Têtalipriya, see p. 310).
There is an anonymous commentary, which refers to a vyákhyá on arga 6 by the same author. The word kanthya (often erroneously kaniya), which is frequently used in the scholia when the meaning of a passage is plain and needs no further comment, implies that these passages are " in everybody's throat, intelligible by themselves." This I owe to the courtesy of a communication from Bühler.
The table of contents in anga 4 and Nandi (N) is as follows:-sê kim tam avâsagadasâu ? avâosūsu ņam uvâsagâņam (samova N) nagarâim ujjà chêi vana (N omits) râyâ ammâ samo dham. máyariya dhammakaha ihaloga paraloga-iddhiviséså, uvasaganan chasilavvaya-veramana-guna-7 pachcha [318] kkhâņa-pôsahovavasa-padivajjaņayau, suyapariggahâu tavô'vahapkin padimân' uvasuggå samlêhaņâu bhattapachchakkhảņâu (ņaim N) pâuvagama (pâðvagamanâim N) dêvao Bakulao puņabồhio 10 amtakiriyâu ya (N omits) âghavijjaṁti; avâsagadas&sull nam uvåsagâņam riddhiviséså parisha vittharadhammasavaņåņi13 bôhilábha-abhigama-sammattavisuddhata-thirat. tam mülagaņottaragaņā atichârâ thitivisêsâ15 ya bahüvisêsâ padimko bhiggahaņa? pålaņa Qvasaggâhiyâsaņâ18 niruvasaggayê yalo tavaso ya charittà silavvayagunavêramapapachchakkhânaposaðvavås& apachchhimamaraşantiya ya samlehaņa ya, a appåņam jaha ya bhavaitta, babaiņi bhattaņi anasaņàê ya chheittà, uvavanná kappavaravimânattamêgy jaha ağabhavanti saravaravimânavarapôdariésu36 sokkhkim &ņôvamáim, kamena bhottäņa utta máim, 30 tað dukkhałņam chuyA saman jaha jinamayammi bôhim laddhôņa 27 ya sanjamuttama tamaraya oghavippa[319]makkát avêtia jaha, akkhayams savvadukkhavimokkham été anne ya Svam-ain.
VIII. The eighth angam, amtagadadasáu, ashtaksitadasds, or ashtahriddasds, see. Hem. abh, v. 244; in eight vaggas, embraces in all 93 ajhapanas, viz. (10, 8, 13, 10, 10, 16, 13, 10):51 it deals with legends concerning the pions, who have "put an end" to their worldly life.sa
