EDITOR'S NOTE
16 ANUYOGADVĀRASUTRA
N. 3 p. 73 mentions the term kavoyāņaṁ which was, for the first time, accepted by Sāgarānandasūriji in the body of the text proper.
We have accepted the reading käyāṇam in the body of the text proper (Anu. Su. 80) and noted the variant kavoyānam in the foot-note, considering the latter to be uncertified and incorrect. The reading kavoyāṇam17 is included in the body of the text of the Anuyogadvarasutra edited by Sagarānandasūriji and published in 1972 V. S. and also in the text contained in later editions. All these editions we have scrutinized. The reason why we have not accepted this reading is as follows.
Except the Pāiyasaddamahaṇnavo nowhere we find the term kavoya in the sense of a bearer of kavaḍa. Kävaḍa means a bamboo lath provided with slings at each end for carrying pitchers. Even the Paiyasaddamahanṇavo regards the word kāvoya as deśya and cites the concerned portion of the Anuyogadvārasūtra. This means that the compiler of the Pâiyasaddamahanṇavo has mainly taken the word kavoya from Ac. Maladhārī's țikā published by Sāgarānandasūriji. In fact, no ms. utilised by us gives the reading kavoyāṇam. All of them invariably
16. In the discussion on the readings of the Anuyogadvarasūtra we have utilised all the ten editions published so far. They are: (1) the edition published by Ray Dhanapatisimhaji in 1936 V.S., (2) the edition published by Sheth Shri Devachand Lalbhai in 1972 V.S., (3) the edition prepared by Shri Amolakaṛşiji and published in Vira Samvat 2446 (1976 V.S.)., (4) the edition published by śri Jinadattasūri Pustakoddhara Fund in 1976 V.S., (5) the edition published by Agamodaya Samiti in 1980 V.S., (6) the edition published by Shri Kesarabai Jaina Jñana Mandir in 1995 V.S.. (7) the edition contained in the Agamaratnamañjūṣā (1999 V.S.), (8) the edition contained in the Mulasuttāņi edited by Shri Kanhaiyalalji Mahārāj (Kamala) in 2010 V.S., (9) the edition contained in the Suttagame (Pt. II) edited by Muni Shri Pushpabhikshuji in 2011 V.S. (10) the translation of the Anuyogadvarasutra published by Shri Atmananda Jaina Sabha. Moreover, we have scrutinized nine mss. containing the text of the Anuyogadvārasūtra only. These mss. are written in the period between 16th and 18th Cent. V. S. Again, we have also utilized six mss. of the Tika by Maladhāri Ac. Hemacandra. These mss. belong to the 16th-17th Cent. V. S. And we have used two mss. of the Anuyogadvarasūtra-one with Taba and the other with Balavabodha. All these seventeen mss. belong to the different Bhaṇḍāras preserved in Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Bharatiya Sanskriti Vidyamandir, Ahmedabad.
