on a particular monk. And the use of the Laghunandi has been confined to this particular Lokottaradravyānujñā. In other words, the Anujñānandi is used only when an ācārya allows his pupil to have his own pupils-male or female-, that is, to assume the position of an ācārya. We do not know when this practice started. The twenty synonyms of the word Anujña enumerated by Ac. Śricandra in his commentary on the Anujñānandi are also found in the present text of the Anujñānandi. Ac. Śrīcandra in his commentary remarks that the meanings of those twenty synonyms, being not traditionally known, are not given in the commentary (eteṣāṁ ca padānām arthaḥ sampradāyābhāvān nocyate).
The two gathās of Anujñānandi, enumerating the synonyms of anujñā, occur even in Anujñākalpädhikāra of the Pañcakalpabhāṣya. It is necessary to note in this connection that there is a minor difference between the readings of the gathās found in the Anujñānandi printed in this volume and those same gathās found in the Pañcakalpabhāṣya. So, we give below the concerned gathās as they are found in the Pañcakalpabhāṣya:
aṇuņņā unṇamaṇī ņamaņa ṇāmaṇī ṭhavaṇā pabhave pabhāvaṇa vitāre /
tadubhayahiya majjātā kappe magge ya ṇãe ya // sangaha samvara nijjara thirakaraṇamachedajīva (ya) vuḍḍhipayaṁ / payapavaram ceva tahā vīsa aņṇuṇṇāi ṇāmāiṁ //
-Press-Copy, p. 326
The explanation of these two gāthās as given in the Pañcakalpamahābhāṣya and the Pañcakalpacūrṇi is as follows:
1. anujñā: Anujñā means the ācārya's consent or acceptance. Generally speaking Lord Rṣabha started the tradition of anujñā when he permitted his ganadhara Rṣabhasena to assume the position of an ācārya and to give lessons in the Agamas to his pupils. 2. unnamani: Anujña is also called unnamani because at that particular occasion the pupil has to get up and bow down before the ācārya, etc.
3. namani: The laymen and monks bow down before him who has secured consent. Hence it is called namani.
4 nămani Anujñā introduces us into the śruta and into the caritra dharma (Good Conduct). Hence it is called nämani.
5 sthāpanā: Anujñā is called sthāpanā because one who obtains anujñá gets established as an ācārya. In other words, one who has got the consent of his ācārya can augment his wealth of pupils and make them firm in right knowledge and right conduct. 6 prabhava: One who gets established as an ācārya through consent is called, on that account, prabhu. And thus anujñā, being
