EDITOR'S NOTE
Discussion on the unacceptable readings occurring in the recension of the printed editions
Some readings occurring in the recension of the printed editions of the Nandisutra and the Anuyogadvarasutra, which we have not included in the body of the texts proper, are noted in foot-notes at following places.
Nandisūtra : p. 3 n. 4; p. 8 n. 3; p. 9 n. 3; p. 10 n. 3; p. 11 n. 3; p. 14 n. 7; p. 16 n. 7; p. 25 n. 1; p. 29 n. 15; p. 31 n. 1. Out of these ten places, we have underlined seven. The readings and additional texts given there do not correspond with the concerned explanations found in the Curni and Tikas10. The readings on which these ten notes are have been accepted by us and included in the body of the text. It is so because they are important. Out of them the seven readings, on which there are those notes as indicated by underlines, are absolutely true and hence to be respected and accepted.
The authors of the Curni and Vṛttis have not explained some gāthās occurring in the Nandi Sthavirāvali, even though they are mostly available in all the mss. of the Nandisutra. Again, the old mss. contain notes on the concerned gāthās to the effect that they are later additions. On account of these two reasons we have not accepted them in the body of the text. Moreover, they are not found in the o, o, o, and Jo mss. (p. 9 n. 3) utilised by us. So, we have given these interpolated gathãs in the concerned foot-notes. It will be useful to know that these gathās are regarded as constituting a part of the text of the Nandisutra in all the editions except the one prepared by Ac. Sāgarānandasūriji and those others based on this.
Anuyogadvarasutra: p. 73 n. 3; p. 104 n. 1-2; p. 110 n. 10; p. 117 n. 8; p. 119 n. 12; p. 122 n. 4; p. 132 n. 111; p. 134 n. 2; p. 146 n. 9; p. 162 n. 3; p. 174 n. 5; p. 178 n. 6; p. 180 n. 8; p. 183 n. 8, n. 10; p. 205 n. 6. The explanations contained in the Cūrṇi and Vṛtti of the Anuyogadvārasūtra being very short, the Cuṛṇi and the Vṛtti do not comment on the concerned readings noted here. The readings indicated by underlines are dismissed in the Vrtti of Ac. Maladhārī Hemacandra with the remarks: it is very easy', 'it is kanthya', 'it is nigadasiddha'. That is, they have not explained them considering
8. By this we mean mainly the editions prepared by Ac. Sāgarānandasūriji and also those based on it. In other editions there might be some places giving readings identical with those printed in our edition. 9. Nandisūtracurņi composed by śri Jinadāsagaṇimahattara. 10. Nandisūtrațikās by śri Haribhadrasuri and by śri Malayagirisuri. 11. Here we have forgotten to mention o ms. This mistake has been corrected in the Suddhipatraka.
