Pkt.-formulas.
The introductory formula (1) has a stereotyped wording where always only the name of the Bhakti changes: in XI 1, however, before this, a passage is inserted. For 2, in the repetitions of IX & X, the above-mentioned abbreviation occurs, in D at XI also the inserted passage between Sāmāy. 6 & 7 (and between Airyāp. 1 & 2).
Three abbreviated Bhakti sections follow in an appendix. In these, parts 1-3 have been very simplified and the Pkt.-formula has been completely left out. The entire wording of the second and third Bhakti is found later in C II.

Recension d, which A introduces under the title Nityaprayogavidhi, follows D exactly, but, strangely, breaks off the Bhakti-series after X 3 just to add only the conclusion (without Pranidhana and the appendix). How K & P behave can only be described after a discussion of B & C (below, p. 4° 36-57).
The above-mentioned recension D2 is only an available variant of D for A that is found in S 362. Although it is provided with a Hindi commentary, it originates from Śravaṇa Belgola which explains why it differs from D, mostly, only through a slight slant to K: actually D2 incorporates an arya from K (below, p. 5219) and the transposed Pancanamaskāra (ibid. 22); cp. also (ibid. 67) XI 1 (vidhāya).
B consists of seven Bhakti sections, which P gives in the following sequence:
I siddha-bhakti II śruta-bhakti III
căritra-bhakti
IV yoga-bhakti ācārya-bhakti

[42] Presently, recension d is practically not available because the manuscript used breaks off in B I 1,1°. Instead, B, together with the opening of C (up to CI 22,1a), is found in another Devanagari recension (= 8) (S 361). The Bhakti sequel in D is I-III V IV VI VII, in 8 I-III V VI IV VII; that in K follows under A-C (p. 4° 51-53).
Each Bhakti has been formed here from the following four parts:
Jain Education International
VI parinirvāṇa-bhakti VII Nandisvara-bhakti
Skt.-hymn by Padapūjya-svāmin, Pkt.-hymn by Kundakunda,
shorter hymns,
Pkt.-formula.
This Bhakti pattern (B) is also very different from the earlier (A); only the second half is identical. Incidentally, it varies to a minimal degree in IV-VII: in all available recensions IV 2 appears before IV 1, and in VI & VII in place of the Pkt. hymn, each with a second Skt. hymn; in D 8, V 3 is lacking, in K, VII 3.
The oldest fragment of each Bhakti (in A as well as in B) is apparently (except the Sāmāyika) the Pkt. formula (4). This has a stereotyped wording in which only the middle changes. The opening always reads icchami bhante... bhatti-käosaggo kao tass' aloceum, where for the dots the corresponding word (siddha in I, suda in II, etc., ceiya in VIII, etc.) occurs. The Pranṇidhāna forms the obligatory conclusion.
dukkha-kkhao kamma-kkhao bohi-lāho sugai-gamanam samāhi-maraṇam jina-guna-sampatti hou majjham.
Once (in A immediately before the appendix), the Praṇidhāna appears alone (however, only in one manuscript) and once (at the conclusion of ŚravakaPr. I, below, p. 64) it has been attached in an enlarged version to a Pratikramana formula. In the modern recensions of Av.2,
