8. Uvagghāyanijjutti, 211(214 B,216 P,210#) vv. In vv. 40-50 glorification of Ajja Vayarā (plur, maj.), Vairā, Vajrasvamin, who extracted 1021 the ägäsagamă vijjä from the mahāpainnä (see p. 251) and made ample use of the latter. In his time there still existed (p. 247) apuhatte kāliāṇuoassa, apṛthaktvaṁ kālikānuyogasya, but after him (tenarena, tata ärataḥ, Haribh.), i.e. perhaps through him there came into existence puhattam kaliasua ditthivāe102 a, Prthaktvam kalikaśrute drştivade ca (v. 40). Tumbavana, Ujjent, Dasapura, nayaraṁ Kusumanāme (Pataliputra) appear in regular order as exercising an important influence upon his life. In vv. 50-53 glorification of his successor Rakkhiajjā (plur. maj.), Rakkhiakhamaņā, i.e. of Ārya Rakṣitasvāmin, son of Somadeva and Ruddasoma, (e'der) brother of Phaggurakkhia and pupil of Tosaliputta. These two names Vajrasvāmin and Aryarakşita (cf. Hemacandra's Parisiṣṭap. chaps 12, 13), especially as they are regarded here as persons deserving of great honour, bring us to a period much later than the old Bhadrabahusvämin. According to the statements of the modern Theravalt (see Klatt, 1, c. pp. 246, 247a,) 252a, his death is placed Vira 170, but that of Vajra, 400 years later, Vira.584 1023 We will find below that [64] there is mentioned here another date later by several years. Hem. v. 34 too says that Vajra is the last "dasapurvin," one who still has knowledge of 10 of the 14 pūrvas, and in general that he is regarded as deserving great honour as regards the transmission of the sacred texts. See the account of Dharmaghosa on the Kupakṣakausik, Kup. p. 21(811). The two-fold division into käliasua and diṭṭhivaa (also in the Anuyogadv. above, pp. 36, 40), dating back as far as Vajra according to v. 40, is in contrast to a no less peculiar division into four parts, referred back in v. 54 fg. to Arya Rakşita : kaliasuam ca isibhāsiyāim taio a sūrapannattt | savvo a ditthivào caütthao hoi anuogo ||54|| jam ca mahākappasuaṁ jāņi a sesāni cheasuttāṇi | caraṇakaraṇānuoga tti käliatthe uvagayani ||55|| Here then the isibhāsiyaim (which Har. explains here by uttaradhyayanadini ! see above pp, 43, 58)
1021 But according to the Ganadharasardhaśata, v. 29, it was taken from the sumahāpainnapuvvau! see p. 479.
1022 In v. 36 there was mention of 700 (!) or 500 nayas, eehim (v. 37) ditthiväe paruvana sutta a tha kahana ya; each of the 7 etc. nayas-see p. 350 ff. and p. 39 - satavidhaḥ.
