[199] The original Niryukti
43. XI 8
refrain-stanzas.
"Original Niryukti”, in short, is supposed to denote the Niryukti-form to which both handed-down adaptations of the Āvaśyaka-niryukti (Mülāc. VII & "Niry.") are traced. An attempt to reconstruct them is to try, mainly with the help of Niry., to determine the next preliminary stage of Mūlāc. VII. Most of all then, a concordance of both Niryukti texts is necessary; it would immediately show which stanzas already belong entirely or partially to the original Niryukti. Various stanzas and parts of stanzas remain that have contact in both versions only contentwise: in what follows they are separated from each other by "cp.". They may also originate, partly in the one form or other from the original Niryukti, or partly just reflect only the commentary that would have accompanied the original Niryukti.
The starting point of the concordance is the Mūlācāra chapter, whose [19] stanzanumbers are given at the left, whereas the equivalents of the Svetâmbara-version join to the right. Equivalents that can be found elsewhere in Svetâmbara-literature, as well as some remarks, stand a bit apart. 1. A Namaskāra, preceding the following 37. XI 2 in accordance with XI 34. stanza.
