14. logaviṁdusaram (without loga in § 14), vimdur iva säram510; 25 vastus (also in § 25); ardhatrayodaśa (särdha° N) padakoṭayah 125 (135 N) millions. This pürvam is often mentioned as the conclusion of the angas or of the suanana. See above p. 245,346.
It is now perfectly clear that the number of padas which has been handed down to us is purely a matter of fiction. The exact figures in the case of 5 and 6 are simply amusing. It is easy to revel in detail, when the fancy is the only controlling agent.
The enumeration of the names in the text is followed by detailed statements in reference to the number of each of the vatthus, 1359] vastus and culiyas or cula-vatthus,511 i. e. sections into which each of the 14 puvvas are divided. These numbers, in all 225 vatthus (mulav.) and 34 culav., are also mentioned in three kärikäs, which have been inserted; and each of which has been quoted in its proper place.

The anuyoga518 is divided into two sections (1) into the mulaprathamänuyoga, treating of the root (of the tree of the sacred doctrine), or, according to the scholiasts, of the Tirthankaras,514 ie., the history of the beginning, of the preliminary birth, of the existence and of the final completion of the bhagavaṁtānam arahaṁtāṇam; and (2) into the gaṇḍikānuyoga, i. e., the doctrine of the

511 N has cullavatthuni, which is explained by the schol. by ksullavastuni, whereas cula is explained by sikharam! Abh. understands here, as in anga 1, cuḍā to be secondary additions. See p. 360n.
