________________ APRIL, 1892.] SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS. 107 Here then are twenty names, with but one exception (10 viratthaa) all belonging to the present group. There are five names which recur elsewhere in the Siddhanta - (1, 2, 13, 17, 20). - ; [428]two names which at least were mentioned in connection with the Siddh. - 14, 15, -; and finally there are four names found nowhere else except here - 9, 11, 10, 18. It is of especial interest to observe the ascribing of Nandi and Anaoga to the pažnna gronp as being placed before them. This reference recurs in similar fashion in Svi., where the enumeration is but fragmentary and limited to the mention of: namdi 1, anuôgadara , deviņdatthaü (7) 3. tamdularêyaliyam (5) 4, chamdavivviyai (! 6) on aurapachchakkhâna (2) , ganivijjai (8) ; painpaginam. It then speaks of sèsani but does not enumerate them. In V. the païnna texts are treated of on two occasions. In the first case we find, for some reason inexplicable to me, in the discussion in reference to the 15th book of aŭga 5, an enumeration of ten texts, which are not stated to be pažnnas, though the titles of six are found among the titles of the 10 païnnas. At the head (the action in question is called nandi-m-aiņam vamdanaya) we again find namdi and aņuoga; then follow dêvimda (7) 3, tamdula (5) 4, chandarêjjha (! 6) 6, ganivijja (8) , marana in jhâņavibhatti s, qura (2) 9, mahậpachchakkhana (9) 10. Of these No. 7 is doubtless identica13 with maranasamahi in Avi. and No. 8 corresponds to a section in 2. See below. The second passage in V. is that in which the pažnnas are directly discussed; (429) and in this passage they appear in the forefront together with nandi and anuôga.39 Fifteen names are there mentioned, among which are all the ten members of the present list, though arranged differently, but at the end they are called only ichch-ii: sampayam painnagâ : namdi 1, aņuðgadáraim . ., dêvimda-. tthaya (7) 3, tamdulaveyaliya (5) 4, maranasamahi 5, mahapachchakkhâņa (9) , aurapachchakkhana (2) 7, samthara ya (4) , chamda vijjhaya (6) o, bhattaparinna (3) 10, chaüsarana (1) 11 viratthaya (10) 12. gaņivijja (8) 13. divasagarapannattisargahani 14. gachhay Ara 18 ichch-ai pažnnagåņi. Of the three additional texts mentioned here No.5 is mentioned in Avi. and elsewhere - see p. 428-as belonging to the pažnnas; the case is similar with No. 15. No. 14 belongs to the text referred to as No. 13 in Avi., a text which possesses a considerable antiquity - pp. 268, 389. Is the samgahani on it mentioned here identical with the Jambudvîpasangrahani of Haribhadra mentioned p. 413 (on apanga 6)? In connection with the above discussion V. treats of the isibhâsiyâim (see pp. 259, 281, 402), and allots to them 5040 ajjhayaņas. We have already observed that Haribhadra on Av. 2, a identifies the isibh., quoted there, with the "dêvêndrastava etc.," but on another occasion identifies the isibh with the uttarajjhayaņa. We read therefore in V. that the isibl. were regarded by some as belonging to the uttarajjh. (430] uttarajjhayaņêsu êyêim amtabbhavanti, to which the mahnisihajogavihi is joined in V. In the Vichárâmpitasamgraha (see p. 355) as in the three sâmâyârî there is an enumeration of the païnnagas, which begins with Nandi and Anuôga. Nineteen and not 10 païnnas are here enumerated, but of these only the first three are given a name. The passage, which is interesting for other reasons, reads in the very corrupt MSS.: amga 11, upanga 12, chhêdasangha 5 (?) mûlagramtha 4 pramukhîh, pratiniyatî êva gramthah kalpabhishyadyuktasátralakshanopetal, yatab kvî 'pi yôgavid hau drisyamánêshu nardy-annyögadvari-"turapratyakhyânâdy-êkônavinśatiprakirņakéshu këshậm chid êva jîtakalpa-pamchakalpâdînîm virachayitêrô jnîyante nûmagraham, na sarvêshan, yêshîm kartîrô na jnayamtê tîni ganadharak sitâni. Here then, aturapratyakhyanam (2), and not dêvêmdrastava (7), comes after nandi and Anuyo, at the head of the remaining païnnas. Here as in Avi., the pamchakalpa and, in connection with it, the jitakalpa seem to be counted among the pažnnas, whereas - see below - they are generally held to belong to the chhedasutra.1 38 The maranasamahi is also mentioned elsewbere. See pp. 429, 431. We might well recall the maranavibhatti in connection with the marana, or the maranavisõhi in the enumeration of the ananga pavittha-, or angab&hira texts in Nandt etc. All these texts refer without doubt to euthanasy; cf. painna 2. 19 The connection with both is, however, very slight, for in v. 61 of the jogavih na we find the express statement : dévindatthaya-m-Ai pažnnagå, the connection of nandi aud anuôga being ignored. *in anga 4, 44 only 44 ajjh, are allotted to them in conjunction with the develogachuyabh Asiya. 41 Either the paroh. or the jttak, appears as No. 6. The Vicharam., however, recognizes only five chhedasanghas. See above.
