SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS

at this honor is attested by manifold testimony going to prove that considerable dissent at present exists in regard to the representative position claimed by them.
In Avi. the enumeration on this point is in three very imperfect gāthā: sampai painnaga, namdi 1, aṇuogadāra 2, āurapaccakkhāņa (2)3, mahāpaccakkḥāņa (9)4, devimdatthaa (7)5, tamḍulaveyaliyam (5)6, samthara (4)7, || 1 || bhattaparinnā (3)8, rāhaṇapaḍāga 9, ganavijjā (8)10, amgavijjā 11, ya causarana (1)12, dīvasagarapannatti 13, joisakaramḍam 14 || 2 || maranasamāhi 15, titthogali 16, taha siddhapāhuḍa-painnaṁ 17 | narayavibhatti 18, camdāvijjhiya (! 6)19, pamcakappa 20 || 3 ||
Here then are twenty names, with but one exception (10 vīratthaa) all belonging to the present group. There are five names which recur elsewhere in the Siddhanta-(1, 2, 13, 17, 20-; [428] two names which at least were mentioned in connection with the Siddh. 14, 15,—; and finally there are four names found nowhere else except here -9, 11, 16, 18. It is of especial interest to observe the ascribing of Nandi and Anuoga to the painna group as being placed before them. This reference recurs in similar fashion in Svi.; where the enumeration is but fragmentary and limited to the mention of: nandi 1, aṇuogadārā 2, devimdatthau (7)3, tamḍulaveyaliyam (5)4, camdavivviyai (! 6)5, aurapaccakkhāņa (2)6, gaṇivijjäi (8)7, painnagānam. It then speaks of sesāņi but does not enumerate them. In V. the painna texts are treated of on two occasions. In the first case we find, for some reason inexplicable to me, in the discussion in reference to the 15th book of anga 5, an enumeration of ten texts, which are not stated to be painnas, though the titles of six are found among the titles of the 10 painnas. At the head (the action in question is called nandi-m-äiņam vaṁdanaya) we again find nandi and anuoga; then follow devimda (7)3 tamḍula (5)4, camdavejjha (6)5, gaṇivijjā (8)6, marana 7, jhāṇavibhatti 8, aura (2)9, mahāpaccakkhāna ()10. Of these No. 7 is doubtless identical782 with maraṇasamāhi in Avi. and No. 8 corresponds to a section in 2. See below. The second passage in V. is that in which the painnas are directly discussed; [429] and in this passage they appear in the forefront together with nandi and anuoga.783 Fifteen names are there men
782 The maranasamahi is also mentioned elsewhere. See pp. 429, 431. We might well recall the maranavibhatti in connection with the marana, or the maranavisohi in the enumeration of the anangapavittha, or angabahira texts in Nandi etc. All these texts refer without doubt to euthanasy; cf. painna 2.
783 The connection with both is, however, very slight, for in v, 61 of the jogavihāna we find the express statement; devimdatthaya-m-ai painnaga, the connection of nandi and anuoga being ignored.
