________________ SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS 181 the commontary reference is paid to the pravacanam as samdyikddibindusäraparyastaṁ, and in v. 58 erroneous doctrines and påşandin are treafed of in detail. Then the glatthås (see above pp. 437,450,464), to which the text refers in v. 141, are expressly explained as śrini sithädichedagratharthasūtradharāḥ.867 Form all this we may draw the conclusion that the text is closely, (479) if not directly connected with the chedasūtras. We have already mentioned in reference to the mahākappa, Āvasy. 8,55 above pp. 446,447, that the Nandi in its anangapaviţtha list recognizes the existence of a mahakappasuam, a cullakappasuam, and a kappiyakappiam. In the scholiast ibid, wę find the following explanation :kalpākalpapratipadakam adhyayanaṁ kalpakalpam ; tathā kalpah sthavirakalpädiḥ, tat pratipadakam śrutar kalpaśrutam, tac ca dvidha : kşullakakalpo mahākalpo ca, tatrai 'kam alpagrarthaí alpártham, dvitlyaṁ mahāgraṁtham mahārthar ca. There is, therefore, no doubt but that texts of this class existed.858 (Vol. XVII. p. 1) In Bühler's list there follow : B. Nandisutram and F. Anuyogadvarasūtram, without any name to connect them. In Rajendra Lal Mitra, Notices of Ssk. MSS. 3,67 (Calc. 1874) and in the Ratnasagara, p. 508 (Calc. 1880) both texts are mentioned in conjunction, but at the close of the Siddhanta after the mula. sūtras. In the Ratnas, the Anuyogadv. precedes. On the other hand we have already seen (p. 427 fg.) that, at the time of the three Sāmāyāris, and indeed at that of the already seen (p. 427 fg.) that, at the time of the three Sāmāyāris, and indeed at that of the Vicārāmstasaṁgraha, both texts were placed in a much earlier place of the Siddh., at the head of the painna group; though in the Vidhiprapa at least, their connection with this group is represented as uncertain (see 429"). In bearing the stamp of individuality and having a systematic arrangement, both texts have a claim to a free and independent position. 457 In the scholiast on Vicărămytasangraha the following explanation for Jiyakappa is found in citation from the Pańcakappa : jan jassa ca pacchittam ayariyaparamparāyai viruddham joga ya bahuvihi ya eso khalu jiyak appo ull :--and the word jiyam is ibid. explained as follows :- jan bahuhim giyalfhehim ainnan tam jiyam ucitam cittamity anarthamtaram vyavahāracurnipithe, jitam nama prabhu tānekagitarthakşta maryada tatpratipadano grattho 'py upacarát. 368 Compare, also, the title of upanga 9.
