________________ SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS The names of the pūrvas (354) are as follows: 1. uppāyapuvvam,491 utpädapūrvam; 10 vastu and 4 cūliya vastu; ekā padakoți, 10 millions. 2. aggeniyam (ABC), agge-aniyam N (aggānīyaṁ N ed., according to Leumann) ; agreniyam Abh.,492 and agrāyaniyam493 Schol. on N; 14 vastu (so also in § 14) and 12 cūliya vastu ; șannavatiḥ padalakṣaḥ (9,600,000). A direct citation from this is found in Āvasy. 10,42494 and in Malayagiri on upānga 4 (agrāyanīyākhye dvitiyapūrve karmaprakrti prabhrte bardhavidhäne sthitibaṁdhādhikāre catvāri anuyogadvārāņi...). An anonymous avacūri on Candra-mahattara's Saptatika (ms. or. fol. 690) calls this work an excerpt from the dițțhivàa, especially from the fourth prabhstam (karmaprakstināmam of the fifth vastu of the second pūrva ("agrāyaniya"). In the Vicārāmịtasargraha we find the following interesting statement taken from the "Nandivștti : -Sivaśarma-Sūryādibhir agre 'niyādipūrvebhyaḥ samuddhștāḥ śatakādi karmagrarthiḥ. There actually [355) exists a siddhapāhudam in 120 gāthās, which is characterized as having taken its rise from the aggeniyapuvva ; see p. 361. 3. viriyam, viryapravādam ;495 8 vastu and 8 cūliya vastu; tasya 'pi(!) saptatih padasahasrāņi Abh., but in the schol. on N: 78 padalak şah 7,800,000.-Citation from this in Haribhadra on Āvasy. 10,42 (see p. 354, note 4). 4. ' 'atthinatthippavāyam, astinástipravādam ;496 18 vastu (also according the introduction to the Kalpantarvacyāni. In this work the number of vasti c? yastu) of each purva is said to increase from 1 on by geometrieal progression (8192 in the case of purva 14). Here however in the text itself-see p. 366-we find entirely different figures which are quite credible. The figures in the case of 1.3.7.10 vary somewhat in the enumeration of the purvas in Nemicandra's pra vacanasārodhāra $ 92, v. 719-25. 491 sarvadravyānāṁ paryavānāí (! paryāyānāṁ) co't pādabhāvam amgikttya prajñāpanā Abh., sarvadravyānām ut padam adhikstya prarupanā N. 462 tatra pi sarvesam dravyānāṁ paryavānāñ (!) jivavišeşānāṁ ca 'gram parimāram varnyate it y agreniyan, Abh. ; agran parimānam tasya 'yanam paricchedas tasmai hitam agrāyaniyah sar vadravyādi-parimārakāri Schol. on N. 493 The Schol. on Hem. Kalpāntarvacyāni has the same. 494 aggeniammi jaha Divāyana jattha ega tattha saya jattha suyam tatthe 'go hammai vå bhumjae vă vil/Haribhadra says : jahā agrianinie (!) virie atthinarthipavāyapuvve ya pādho : jarthe 'go Divāyano bhuthjai tattha Divāyanasayam bhuíjai, jatthā Divāyanasayam bhụñjai tartha ego Dīvāyaṇo bhuijai; evan hammai. According to this the similar passage should be found also in puvvas 3 and 4. See the remarks on Ambada in Aup. $ 89; Ambada is mentioned ibid § 76 together with Divāyaṇa. 495 padaikadese padasamudāyopacārāt sakarmetarānā jīvānāñ ajīvānām ca viryam pravadari 'ri viryapravādam Schol. on N. 496 yat loke dharmastikāyādi vastu asti yac ca na 'sti kharaśringadi tat pravadati ty astino dam, Schol. on N. yal loke yathā vā na (del, ?) 'sti at havā syadvādābhi
