Four Mulagrantha, (according to the Sthānakavāsi
Canon.)

3. Nandi Sutro (aré 749.) A history of the eightyfour original scriptures and their destruction, and also of the saints who succeeded Mahāvira.
4. Anuyogadvāra ( ay palalal?.) A book on logic.
The Svetāmbara and Sthānakavāsi alike believe that their religion is decaying, and that their scriptures are being destroyed; they think however that the Four Mulagrantha will be the last to perish.
This completes the list of the thirty-two scriptures accepted by the Sthānakavāsi.
In addition the Svetāmbara accept the following:
E Ten Payanna (42191) or Miscellaneous Books.
1. Causurana ( 26HREI,) in which people are exhorted to seek the protection of
Arihanta ( auraient) Siddha (for) Sādhu (H )
Dharma (438) i. e. (the Jaina ) Religion.
2. Sunthārā Payannā (24131 44911). Another book of good advice, which urges people to fulfil all their vows during their life time, to confess their sins, and to die peacefully without any desire for longer lifc.
3. Tanduluvayāliã (18419416 241,) telling of the nourishment and dangers of the embryo in the womb.
