________________ INTRODUCTION With regard to the two types of the s, there is only nominal difference between the RS on one hand and the SRS' and the YS' on the other. The RS divides the whole kingdom of words into the देवताजनित and सहज ( 180 ), while the SRS' divides it into the अर्थान्तरव्यपदेश and रूपक ( 35 ). The division of the SRS' is s adopted by the YS' also'. Thus we can see that they all are one in substance and significance. With respect to the also, none of the AS, RS, SRS', YS' and NJC is cent per cent similar to each other. At the outset it should be made clear that the RS recognizes 10 only twenty-seven constellations and not twenty-eight (224-225). This is shared by the SRS" (112-113) and the NJC. The AS accepts twenty-eight, perhaps including the .3 The YS' follows the AS. Thus on this point there is a divergence of tradition also between the SRS' and the AS as well as YS' 15 though all three belong to one and the same Śvetämbara Jaina tradition. In point of significance of a certain constellation falling on a certain part of the , there is a wonderful unity between the RS (226) and the NJC. In the matter of the the RS (242) has not at all to differ from the SRS" (118-119). Thus we could see from the above comparison that the origin of the tradition contained in the RS is definitely different from that of the tradition held forth in the SRS', though the former is, on many points, in entire accord with the latter rather than with any of the non-Jaina works. I think 25 the MK and the RS have a background of Digambara Jaina tradition while the AS, SRS' and YS' have Svetambara Jaina tradition as their background. 1 See App. XIII, p. 106; st. 191. 2 See Notes, p. 87. 3 See Notes, p. 88. 4 See App. XIII, p. 106, sts. 197-198. 49 Now I am coming to the UBPK. There is some similarity between the descriptions of the Ayas as found in the 30 RS and UBPK. It is obvious that the treatment of the Ayas in the RS is more in harmony with that of the same in the ACSS and UBPK than in the NJC in which the 5 See Notes, p. 88. 6 See the second passage attached at the end of this section. 7 See Notes, pp. 82-83. 7 Jain Education International 20 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
