SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS

the Kalpantaravacyāni. Jacobi (Kalpas. pp. 22,23) has alreaday called our attention to the fact, that in reality only the last (the third) section, [469] which is called "sămicări, rules for yatis," and also paryuṣaṇākalpa-cf. the title of this book in anga 3 and V.-belongs in this place, and that it alone could claim, together with the remaining parts of the daśāśr., to be ascribed to Bhadrabahu. The closing words tti bemi, payyosanākappadasă aṭṭhamam ajjhayanam are similar to those of the other dasău and substantiates this conclusion. The contents of this section refers to the varsavasa, and treats of that which thereby is kappai and no k. In the introduction commencing with the legendary formula -teṇam kaleṇam-it is stated how Mahavira acted in these cases. The following portions, each of whose sentences invariably begins with a stereotyped refrain, is at the end ascribed to Mahavira in special legendary form likewise introduced by teṇam kaleṇam. I will refer to the other parts of the Kalpasutra below.
The ninth dasă, also called mohaniyyaṭṭhānam, has the usual legendary beginning: tenam kälenam.., and tells of a sermon of Mahavira under king Koniya of Campa in reference to the 30 (so also anga 3) mohaṭṭhāndim. The portion dealing with this sermon consists of 39 slokas, for the most part with the reffain: mahamoham pakuvvai. The conclusion is ti bemi.
The tenth book, āyātiṭṭhāṇaṁ46 commences with the usual formula: tenam kaleṇam and tells in great detail847 how Senia [470] Bhimbhisāra, king of Rayagiha, together with his spouse Cellaņā, listened to a sermon of Mahavira. The sight of the princely splendour turned the thoughts of the followers of Mahavira to worldly things, to rebuke which Mahāvira preaches a lengthy sermon on the excellence of his doctrine, divided into 10 §§ and beginning with the same refrain.848 Nor does he forget to mention the rewards of those who follow his teachings. The result of this sermon was that his audience were delighted and Mahāvira continued to preach in Rajagṛha.
The legendary excursi of the last dasău (5,8,9 and 10) in reference to Mahavira are doubtless the cause of the introduction of the Kalpasutra, the first part of which treats especially of the life of Mahavira.
