THE BĀRSA-ANUVEKKHĀ OF KUNDAKUNDA
31
& 2.2. Remarks.
12.2.1. A detailed comparison between the BA and the Samayasāra shall be included in our proposed edition.
2.2.2. Vss. 12-13 recur in the Moksa-prābhịta ascribed to Kundakunda, see KPS, p. 191, vss. 103-104. In an edition of the Aștaprābhrta published by “sri gujarāta prāmtiya [sic!) ćāntivīra digambara jaina siddhānta samrakşıní sabha” of Himmatnagar in sam. 2025, pp. 410-11, they are vss. 104-105.--Vs. 121 recurs in the Kallanāloyanā of Ajita-biahma (publ. in MDJG. 21. sam. 1979), vs. 241.
$ 2.2.3. MĀC.8.9. presents a better reading of vs. 14. The Marana-samāhi is published in the Prakīrnaka-dašaka (Agamodaya Samiti, Vol. 46, 1927), a collection of the Svetāmbara texts called Paiņņa.
$ 2.2.4. Vs. 19 recurs as vs. 3 in the Darşana-prābhịta ascribed to Kundakunda, see the Himmatnagar edition of the Astaprābhrta p. 22; and in the Bhagavati-Ārādhanā (BhAr. published as Mulārādhanā in the Devendrakīrti Digambara Jaina Granthamālā, Vol. 2. 1935), vs. 738. For a positive version of the contents compare Moksa-pr. 39 (Himmatnagar ed. p. 363) and BhĀr. 739. 62.2.5 Pūjyapāda Devanandi “cites" (uktam ca) vss. 25-29 in his Sarvārthasıddhı on the Tattvārthasūtra 11.10 (ed. Pt. PHOOLCHANDRA, Kashi 1955: Jñānapítha Mūrtidevī Jaina Granthamālā, Skt. 13, pp. 165 ff.), surely not from the BA,. We presume, these old verses found their way in the BA via the Sarvārthasiddhi. 62.2.6. Vs. 41 is omitted in the Mss. “Trilokasāra, 463” could not be verified by us as the MDJG. 12.1919 edition is not at hand. $ 2.2.7. Vss. 45, 67, and 90 are omitted in the Mss. Vs. 67 recurs as SKA. 104 (ed. UPADHYE, p. 50). 62.3. Notes on the Devanāgarí text in $ 3. $ 2.3.1. For Ur-BA. 8 see supra footnote 9.
