________________ ha JAIN JOURNAL 32°4 additional names which are not directly represented by texts in the existing Siddhānta. Among these there are five for which corresponding sections in the S. can be shown, thus :-10 pamāyappamāyam, 17 porisimandalam, 18 maídalappaveso, 38 divasāgarapannatti (64 teyaganisagga). [17] In the Siddhānta there are references to 12 others : thus for 4, 36 (and 38), 40-49 ; 8 others are mentioned elsewhere 9, 21, 51, (60-64); and finally there is a whole list of titles (12 or 13), which cannot be attested from any source whatsoever, thus 2, 3, 19, 22, 23, 24 (a, b, including maraṇavisohi -27, 50, 52, 53). It is of special interest that we find statements concerning a whole series of texts held to be. long to the kāliaṁ suam in old kårikå verses. The source of these statements is not further at tested. These texts were a special object of riper study at the time of the composition of these verses. Of Nos. 40-49, 51 (50-53 ?), 60-64 it is said that they were designed for the eleventh to the eighteenth year of study : 40-44 for the eleventh, 45-49 for the twelfth, 51 (50-53 ?) for the thirteenth, 60-64 for the fourteenth to the eighteenth year ; the nineteenth year forming the conclusion with the study of the dit ́hivāda. Cf. my remarks on pp. 225, 344, 345. This list at least opens up to us a wide perspective for the literature existing at the time of the composition of N. It is certainly very remarkable that N is itself cited in this list (as No. 11). Is this the only work of the author inserted by him in the list? Or did he avail himself of this capital opportunity to procure a resting place for other of his productions? If in reality Devarddhigaội, the nominal redactor of the Siddhānta, is to be regarded as the author of N, then the discrepancy between this list and the existing Siddh., is especially remarkable. [18] Did all these differences arise after his time? And is the division into the groups uvařga, painna, etc., or the names uvarnga, painna themselves etc., to be ascribed to a period subsequent to his 7 In the case of the painna this is evidently very probable. Next follows the angapaviţtham 13, the thirteenth group of the suanānaparokkham, which strictly belongs before the añangapaviţtham. It is called duvalasaviham and then the 12 angas, åyåro to dițțhivão (anga 5 as vivahapannatti) are enumerated in order. This in turn is followed by the detailed statement of contents and extent of the 12 angas, which (sce p, 284 ff.) recurs in identical form but in greater detail in anga 4. to be continued 44 Or 33 and 38, Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
