________________ NOVEMBER, 1892.) SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS. 339 chaviham tu nâyavvam 11 2 II Closes : asajjhâianijjatti kahia bhê dhirapurisapannattâ samjamatavardhagâņam niggamthâņam mahârisiņam || 10 | This chapter, too, appears to have originally existed by itself (see above p. 71, on chapter 15). It refers to certain faults in the study and recitation of the śrutam, which are enumerated at the conclusion of the 33 åsåyaņas; but special reference is made to the cases in which akálê kað sajjhko, etc. The pratikramaņasutram consequently is joined on in Haribh. as follows: nama chaüviske titthayarânam UsabhaiMahavirapayyavasâņiņam, .. inam eva niggamthan påvayaņam savvam anattaram ity-adi, . . ņēå uam (naiyâyikam) [75] ti samsuddham ti, sallakattaņam ti, siddhimaggań muttimaggam nejjåmaggam nevvanamaggam ti, ichhami padikkamium goyarachariyae ity-adi. 19. kaussagganijj., 172 vv., fifth ajjh. in Har. 20. pachchakkhananijjutti corresponds to the sixth ajjah. in Haribh., and consist of three parts : - 1. A metrical section in 22 (26 B) vv., with an enumeration of the 5 mûlaguņas, 91 2. A prose portion treating of the 12 vratas (5 aņuvr., 3 gunavr., 4 sikshậpadvr.). Haribhadra calls its sections satram; this is doubtless to be regarded as a bit of the satram, which is presupposed in the other chapters, but not directly admitted into the text of the Nijj. 3. A metrical conclusion of 74 (70 B) vv., which closes with the same two verses as chapter 10. There are 194 vv. verses in all given in P, but in only 90. It stands alone in Peterson's Palm-leaf 77 (without statement as to the number of verses) and 868 (94 vv.). - The prose part (nominative in & !) is directed with great vigour against the annaütthiyas (anyatîrthika) and against the parapasamdapasamsas, or the parapâ sam dasamthavas. According to Haribhadra, the Brahminical sect582 Bhaubika and Voţika (Digambara, see above p. 67) are treated of under annaü. The 363 doctrinj attacked in anga 2 are referred to under para pasamda. See p. 259.83 According to H. thue 1 Lo mention here of the seven schisms. [76] He mentions also a legend (in Prâkțit) of Chs ikka and Chamdagutta in Padalipatta. Cf. Hêmach. paris, chap. 8 and 9). Besides the Nijjatti I possess a fragment of a second metrical treatment of the avśyaka, which is, however, confined to vamdana and pachchakkaņa. The former is divided into two sections, chaityavandana and guru'. The text is only partially based upon the Nijjutti. There is an avachuri (chûrņi) to it from the commentary of a Somasundara (from the Chandragachha). This avachûri can be traced back to a Jñanaságara. [77] XLV. The third mulasatram, dasaveAliasuakkhamdha, daba vaikalika, or merely : dasaglia,84 daśa kalika. It consists of ten ajjhayaņas, which are composed in slokas, with the exception of a few prose sections. There are furthermore two chapters called chůli (and hence 61 pånivaha mushve adatta mehuņa pariggah chêva . || 8 | skvayadhammassa vihinn buchhchami dhirapu. risapannattar jam chariúna suvihi& giniņð vi suháith påvatti || 9 || On this verse see p. 71 on chap. 15. $9 anyatirthikaparigrihitani va chaityani arbatpratimálakshapani, yathi Bhautaparigrihit&ni Virabhadra-Maha kAlAdini, Vôtika-parigrihitâni v. # Dr. Leumann called my attention to the fact that a letter of Schiefner to me dated Dec. 1857 - see Ind. Stud. 4, 335 contains the following statement extracted from the introduction of a Th Wassiljew : "there are 363 different schisms in the religion of India." Since I found nothing of the kind in the introduction of Taranatha, which was doubtless referred to here, I had recourso to Wassiljew himself. On the 8th of October 1883, I received from him the following kind reply: "I cannot inform you definitely in which of my works 363 Indian schools are mentioned, if at all; but it is certain that this number is frequently mentioned in Thibetan works. In Djandja Vatuktu's Siddhanta, which I have at present before me, I find the following: 'In the sutras are mentioned 96 darsana papantika[?], 14 dijakrita muluni[?], 62 injurious darsana, 28 which do not pormit salvation, and 20 which are ruinous." In Bhania's work Tarkadjvala all the darsanas are enumerated in 110 species, viz...' According to my hasty count there are more than 120 names, probably boontse the same school is mentioned twice, i.e. in Sanakrit and Thibetan. And at the end, after mention of all 110-120) species, wo read in all 863 darsanas. As regards the names of these daranns, it is too difficult for me to translate them into Russian and à fortiori into German, though, should you desire it, I will attempt it as best I may be able." I did not consider it necessary to have recourse again to Wassiljow's kindness, sinoe, for the purpose in view, his communication was amply sufficient. It is clear from the above, compared with p. 259, that it will be difficult to expect completo agreement in detail nevertheless the fact that the number of 363 darsanas is common to the Jains with the Thibetan Buddhists, is of great value. 84 Thus in Av, nijj. 2, 5, and in the Vidhiprapa.
