seen (p. 357) that this composition cannot be referred to the old Bhadrababu (+170 Vira ), since in the introductory verse cited in the Av. 6,89 the dasapuvvi, dasapurvin are honoured besides the arihamta and the cauddasapuvvis. It is quite surprising that this verse also refers especially to the ikkärasaṁgasuttadhārāe; a fact diametrically opposed to the tradition just mentioned that regards a part of anga 12 as the source of the agh. Further on in our present ogh, we find a direct reference in v. 14 to anga 12: sāmāyārī ohe | nayajjhayaṇāiṁ (anga 6?) diṭṭhivão a | loiyakappāsai aṇukkamā karagā cauro || It is, however, sub judice whether or no this verse belonged to the original text. That this was quite a different text from that which the present ogh. as an independent work presents, is proved by the fact that the two Avaśyaka-MSS. Pr, which [83] cite it as integral part of the Avasy. nijj, and allot to it but 58 (P) or 79(#) verses (cf. above p. 62). The oghanijj. which exists in detached form embraces, according to its last verse, 1,160 gāthās 1053 ikkārasehi säehi saṭṭhiahiehi samgahiya.1054 The contents is stated in vv. 4,5 to be as follows:

The contents consequently refers to a right name of living; caraṇakaraṇātmikä is the designation of the oghaniryukti in the introduction of the avacuri on it, and it calls itself at the end (vv. 1156-57) sāmāyāri (see above p. 48).
The beginning of the avacuril056 contains several accounts in reference to the connection of the text with the Avasyaka, and
1053 The MS. shews but 1, 158 and the text belonging to the avacuri has but 1, 132 vv.
