1.1 AYARA (Ayār.)
Title: Āyāranga; Ācārānga (Skt).
Content: "In two lengthy sections (śruta-skandha) it treats of the way of life (āyāra, Skt. ācāra) of a monk. The first section, which makes a very archaic impression, is most decidedly earlier than the second, and yet even the first is a mosaic pieced together from heterogeneous elements. ... (a) mixture of prose and verse ..." "These sermons consist mainly of exhortations and warnings." "Section two of the Ayāranga is a much later work, as can be seen by the mere fact of the sub-divisions being described as Cūlās, ie. 'appendices. The subject-matter of the first two Cūlās is dry rules for begging and wandering, and the daily life of the monks and nuns. ... The third Cūlā contains the materials for a biography of Mahāvīra." (Winternitz 1933:2, 435–36, 437-38).

1 "Klatt's erste Angabe über Sīlānka's Zeit ZDMG 33(1879) 478 c. samvat 550' ist gegen die Notizen, die sich
hier am Schluss finden. In seiner zweiten Angabe, Indian antiquary 11 (1882) 247b, giebt er denn auch das obige Datum (Saka 798, AD 876] an, freilich aber, s. untern, es gleichzeitig in Frage Stellend. Der Tradition zufolge war Šīlānka mit dem Beinamen: Kotyācārya, Schüler des Jinabhadragani, und hat alle 11 anga commentirt; erhalten ist jedoch nur der Comm. zu anga 1 und 2" (Weber 1888 2:2, p. 361 n.1).
