2104, C 2371. It is called Ṣaḍāvaśyaka-vṛtti in the Poona catalogue (P XII 405, XVI 347, XVIII 300); the same is the case with Rajendralāla Mitra (M 2745). The contents have 2,720 grantha-s.
Devendra has treated only I-III in the three small bhāṣya-s (as well as in their commentaries): Br 2105, B 670, 990, etc. (cp. L 50).
Śrītilaka's Vṛtti (I Ilf & P XXI 1293)* is complete, but short: I-III 550 grantha-s, IV 200 grantha-s. The more modern commentaries, which are called Ṣaḍāvaśyakâvacūrṇi, Ṣaḍāvaśyaka-bālâvabodha, or the like, are similar, and, as a rule, appear in connection with some type of modern text version: B 1971 & 2086, W I 96 (Av.2-avac.) & 84 (Av.2-avac.2), Br 2105 & 2109, etc. (cp. L 38).
Further, Jinakusala's commentary on Caityavandana-kul. 14 [2] informs about I (cp. L 150); only something about external formalities can be drawn from Haribhadra's Pancas. III (variability in size, pancânga-pranipata, mudrā-s, etc.).
Av.2 I contains 12 adhikara-s with Śrītilaka that [are introduced with the Airyāpathikī (Av. IV 6 & V 3-5) and] conclude with a wish for the future (praṇidhāna).
Adh. 1 is the ancient Jina veneration formula that is often spoken by Sakra (Indra) in legends and therefore simply called "Sakra's hymn" (Sakrastava). It appears very often in the Canon and makes up both of the first one-third (up to 13) of Aupap. § 20.

What Haribhadra passes over in the Caityavandana-vṛtti has been put in square brackets. Apparently some things he does not know, other things (like Adh. 10 f.) he denotes as a non-committal interpolation, which he does not feel is necessary to explain. He divides everything into six sections, which he designates as follows:
(Adh. 1) Pranipatadaṇḍaka,
66
( 3) Vandana-kayotsarga,
( 4 f.) lokasyôddyotakarān-ity-ādi,
66
( 6 f.) Puşkaravaradvīpârdha-ity-ādi,
("8f. & 12) siddhebhya-ity-ādi, Praṇidhāna.
Santyācārya has the Airyapathikī (without V. 4 f.) just between Adhikara 2 and 3. He also mentions (however, without going into the wording) before the same the "Kṣamāśramana" (Av. III 1,1 with the Cuda matthaena vandāmi) and after the same, the Arhan-namaskāra (?), the Caturvimśati-stava (Av. II) and the Mangala-stava.
In the Saḍvidha Avaśyaka-vidhi the Pancanamaskara, along with Av.-niry. IX 131' (namo... mangalam), has been placed ahead of the Airyapathiki; equally, in the modern versions that, in addition, interpose the Kṣamāśramaṇa. Also still more numerous at the

With Peterson (Rep. IV 108) the title of the last part has, as often, been mistakenly given to the entirety. The wrong name, Tilaka, (instead of Śrītilaka) is already found with the zealot Dharmasagara, which is why it has infiltrated into ZDMG VLI 581 f. & 584. Similarly, Śrīcandra (to be mentioned later) is wrongly called Candra(sūri).
