The commentary offers nothing in explanation 892 te ca lokaprasiddhaḥ, tato lokata eva teṣām svarupam avagaṁtavyam Under anangapaviṭṭham (No. 14 is, however, treated of before No. 13) are enumerated the titles of all the texts belonging to the Siddhanta at the time of the composition of the Nandi, but not included in the angas. This enumeration is extremely interesting. It must have been retained as a stereotyped list for a long period after the composition of the Nandi, since it is to be found verbatim et litteratim not only in the Pākṣikasūtra (P),898 but also in the 3 sāmācārls (see pp. 369, 370) in a form that is but slightly different. 894 The great interest which attaches to this list is caused by the fact that the largest portion of the texts similar to these and now belonging to the Siddhanta is mentioned here, and that a different arrangement is observed. They are not enumerated in the special groups into which they are now divided. The names of these groups are partly wanting, e.g., uvaṁga. painna cheasutta, 883 sattari vesiyam B C R, vasiyam omitted in A. 884 so An. Ned. vasesiyam the Berlin MS. of N. (MS). 87 885 °vanayam MS., Vuddhasāsaṇam B C R, ruttha (!) vayaṇam A ; in An. we find also Kavilam; also in Ned. Kaviliyam comes before Loga. 886 tesiyam NEd., B C R, omit. 887 Already mentioned in the angas, see Bhag. 2, 246 page 304 (cf. Kalpas. pp. 35, 101) and Max Müller: India, What can it teach us ? p. 362. 888 See Ind. Stud 13, 387, 88, 425, and Agnimathara Visņupur 3, 4, 18 (pp. 44, 45 Wilson-Hall). 889 Bhagavayam to sauṇaruvam omitted in An. 890 saoṇaruvam MS.; perhaps ruyam, otherwise the last of the 72 kalās; see above p. 283. In the scholiast on Avasy, 12, 36: sauņipāro vi garahio hoi we find the following peculiar statement :-sakunisabdena caturdasa vidyasthānāni parigthyamte: amgani caturo vedä minänsä nyāyavistar aḥ/purāṇam, dharmasastram cu sthanany ahus caturdasal tatra mgâni șat, tad yatha: sikṣa vyakaranam kalpaḥ chamdo niruktam jyotişam iti. The position of the angas in the front of the list is one of the remarkable things in this statement. 891 Madhara purāṇa vāyaraṇa B R ; nāḍagādi A. 892 Hemacandrasuri on the Anuyogadv. has likewise only: etac ca Bharatädikam nāṭakādi-paryamtam śrutam lokaprasiddhigamyam. 893 In the Paksikasutra this is introduced by the words namo tesam khamāsamaṇāṇam jehim imam vaiyam amgabahiram ukkaliyam (or kaliyam) bhagavamtam, tam jahā: dasaveyaliyam...The Paksikasutram is enumerated by Raj L. M. see above p. 227. as the fourth mulasütram after the Siddhantadharmasara. It sings the praises of each part of the Siddhanta (angabahira and duvalasamga) and contains especially an acknowledgment of belief in the five mahavvayas. 894 The enumeration of the names in S. contains a different grammatical construction, i.e. the names are in the genitive.
