Sacred Literature of the Jains

though in a very obscure fashion. We have already seen (p. 351) that anga 12, according to the account of anga 4 and Nandi, devoted considerable attention to these schisms. Finally, the therävali of the Kalpasūtra (36) contains several statements in reference to the Terasiyā sāhā and its founder Chalue Rohagutte Kosiyagotte. The latter it calls the scholar of Mabagiri, who, as in the therávali of the Nandi, is called the ninth successor of Vira. But this is not in harmony with the above-mentioned date (544 after Vira), since it is equivalent to an allotment of 60 years to each patriarchate. There is then here, as in the case of the pame of the founder of the fourth schism-see 351", 381-a considerable discrepancy in the accounts. The seventh schism, the Abaddhiä (vv. 88-91), under Goțiņāmāhila in Dasa pura is referred to the year 584 and brought into connection with Ayya Rakkhia, Pasamitta and with the ninth purva (
p 356). The first of these statements harmonizes with the other information concerning Rakkhia which we possess. See p. 63, Klatt p. 247*. The name Pasamitta is frequently met with. According to Merutunga's Vicāraśreņi (see Bühler, ante, 2, 362 and Jacobi, Kalpas. p. 7), there reigned a Pusamitta, successor of the Maurya (the Pusyamitra of the Mahabhäşya, etc!) in the years 323–353 after Vira. Neither can he be the one referred to here, nor the Püsamitta who was the founder of the Pūsamittijjaṁ kulaṁ of Cårañagaņa in $ 7 of the therävalt of the Kalpas., which emanated from Sirigutta, the pupil of the tenth [67] patriarch Suhattbi. The name Püsamitta occurs here too in chap. 17(16), 190 (see p. 74",) as that of a contemporary of king Mudimbaga and of Ayya Pussabhūi. Abhayadeva on up. 1 mentions him as the founder of the fourth schism See p. 65".
In addition to these seven schisms there was an eighth (vv. 92-95), that of the Bodia, Pauţika, according to Haribh, under Sivabhui in Rahavirapura (Rathao) in the year 609. According to the account in Dharmaghoşa's scholiast on his Kupakşakaus., the Digambaras are referred to; see Kup. p. 6 (796) where I have attempted to show that the name Bodia has the same meaning (naked) at digambara. The animosity against the Boţikas is as keen as can possibly be imagined. In the 22nd chapter of the Vicărāmstasaṁgraha, the remaining 7 nihnavas are said, according to Malayagiri's commentary on the Āvasy., to be deśavisaṁvādino dravyalimgena 'bhedino, but the Boţika : sarvavis. arvadino dravyaliņgato 'pi bhinnäs. Similarly Haribh. on v. 92 (deśavio and prabhůtavio); sce also Jacobi, Kalpas. p. 15". In the kalasattari,
