SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS
var sadharairāvatāṁtavarşavarnano näma. The fifth treats, in legendary form, of the birth and consecration of a tirthakrt, tirthakrijanmābhişekadhikāray. The sixth, unfortunately, gives but a very short review of the divisions, extent, mountains, temples, lakes, rivers, etc, of Jambūdvipa, Jambūdvīpagatapadārthasaṁgrahay.781 The seventh deals with astrological and chronological matters, jyotişkādhikärav., and especially with the number, etc., of the moons, suns and stars in Jambudvipa. Herein it is in very close agreement with the sūrapannatti and caídapannatti, both of which are cited at the end. The answer to the questions under consideration found at the end is based chiefly upon the discussion : paṁcamasue padhame uddesäe, by which [414] Bhagavati 5, 1 is doubtless meant. It closes in treating of the sun : icc esā Jambuddivapannatti surapannattivatthusamāsena samatta bhavati. Then, in close conjunction with the above, it, in like manner, treats of the moon, and concludes: icc esā Jaotti camdapannattīvatthusamasenam s. bh. The expression vatthu, which occurs here twice, belongs to the puvva sections ---see page 361. It does not occur in the existing texts of upāngas 5 and 7, which are divided into pāhudas, a term which, it must be confessed, is similar to the pūrvas. Next follows a discussion in reforence to the five different kinds of year (see above p. 409), viz. : 1. The nakkhatta year (and by this is meant the revolution of Jupiter through the 28 naksatras ;762 in up. 5. (see Ind. Stud. 10,299), this is cited merely as a pakşāmtaram. 2. The lunar yuga year. 3. The pamāņa year with its five groups as in up. 5. 4. The lakkhana yaar in five groups. The scholiast says that in the first of the five, the naksatra year, the commencement is made with Kfttika and not with Abhijit ! The scholiast on up. 5 at least makes mention of Uttarāsāļhas --cf. Ind. Stud. 10,301, note 7, 5. The year of Saturn or its revolution through the 28 naksatras. Then follow the months, days, hours and the karana, which last was omitted in up. 5. The fourth karanaṁ is here called thiviloana, strīvilocana, or thiloana (so also in the Ganiviyyā v. 42) and not taitila. The names are as usual : Bavar bālave kolavar thiviloanar [415] garāi vanijam vitthi (these 7 are cara) saüņi cauppaya nagar kistthuggham (these 4 are thira). The beginning with Bava is the one which usually occurs elsewhere; but in the quinquennial yugam, contrary to other statements, everything has been changed. Of the
Mahấvidehe vāse, 8 mount Nelavante, 9 in Rammãe, vase, 10 mount Ruppi

section embraces 66a to 75b. A gāhā, which summarizes the contents, forms the . introduction. This gaha is at the head of a samghayani in 29 arya composed in very
free Prakrit, by Haribhadrasūri. See above pp. 371, 372. 762 jam vā vahassai mahaggahe duvalasakit saravacharihin sayvanakkhattamandalam 1 saniucäri se tanie nakkhattasannyachare.
