śrutaskandha, and the fourth chedasutra, was "uddhṛta" by Sri Bhadrabähusvāmin from the ninth pūrva. Thus, for example, in the introduction [357] to the Kalpāntarvācyāņi. 503 This appears to me to rest upon a misunderstanding (as will be developed further on) of the statement that is frequently met with elsewhere, e. g. in Dharmaghosa in the Rṣimandalasutra v. 167 (see Jacobi, Kalpas. p. 11,12), to the effect that Bhadr. extracted dasa50 kappavvavahārā from the 9th puvva. By these are meant the chedasutras 3-5, and by kappa, not the kalpasūtram, but the fifth chedasutram is implied. Haribhadra, too, on Avasy. 6, 88, characterizes the ninth purvam in general as chedasutra lakṣaṇam and especially the twentieth prabhṛtam (by name oghapr.), the third vastu (by name ācāra) as the source of the oghaniryukti treating of the ogha. Samācāri. He says that the oghaniryukti is nirvyūḍha therefrom. In an avacuri (composed505 A. D. 1383) on Droņācārya's vṛtti of the oghaniryukti, the chedasutras, especially kalpa and vyavahāra, are referred to the same source. See also the scholiast on Uttarajjh. 26.

The cause of the formation of the fourth schism is a passage from this puvva, cited in the passages quoted on puvva 7, or Av. 8,59. [358] neuniã 'nuppaväe, on which Haribhadra says: anupravādapūrve neuniyam vacham [vatthu ?] padhati) Leumann compares the 9 neuniyam vatthus in anga 3,9.

503 This is the chief passage, which contains the statements in reference to the purvas.
504 Dasa is not to be connected with kappa, as is assumed by Jacobi (The ten kalpas), but denotes the dasão, the fourth chedasutram itself, a part of which exists to-day under the title of the kalpasūtram.
505 navamapurvāmt arvarti tritiyam sāmācārivasty asti, tatra 'pi vinsatitamat prabhytat sädhvanugrahartham Bhadrabähusvamina nirvyudha. The following fact speaks decisively against Bh. as author of the oghan. In v. 1 not only are the cauddasapuvvins praised, to which he himself belongs, but also the dasapuvvins which reach to Vajra; consequently the existing text must have been composed at a period considerably posterior to Vajra.
