5) The basic Sūtras of the Sackhandagord on which Virasena (C, A, D. 816) has written the Dhaval commentary using, if not incorporating, earlier Prakrit commentaries, are a relic of the PūryAS; and in one Sutra, while explaining the Srutajúīna-upayoga, the following eight types are mentioned thus:
ब्रा तस्य वायणा वा पुग्छणा वा परिच्छणा वा परिपट्टणा वा अणुपेकखणा वा थय थुदि-धम्ममा पा से बामण्णे एवमाविया ॥ The commentary gives a detailed interpretation of all these, aidong which Anuprekķā is thus expluined:
i) कम्मणिमरण?महिमजाणुगयस्स सुदणाणस्स परिमलणमणुपेक्षणा णाम । ii) सांगीभूदकदीए कम्मणिमरहमणुसरणमणुवेक्ला ।
6) It would be relevant to rocord here some negative evidence also. The Uttaradhyayan sütra, Chapter xxi, Carañavihi, enumerates topios arranged in units of one, two, three, etc. Under the group of twelve there iş no mention of Anuprekşi (verse 11). In similar enuinsrations in the
muiyan, 10. R epertuis, ke list of twelve Anapreksās is not mentioned. Secondly, in the Panhänigaranaim the five Şarivarsdvärast are mentioned; but they do not, as in the mattvärtha-sritru, include Anuprekşa; and what are mentioned there is Bhayanās, like those in the Ayaranga, aro quite different froin Anuprekşå for which later on the term Bhāvaná came to be used.
7) The Mahnisiha-gutta enumerates Bhāvanās in this manner: #
