________________ SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS At this point the investigation of the jñanam begins, in which a principal part is played by the enumeration of the different categories and sub-categories of both the principal classes into wbich the jñdnam is divided $75 - the paccakkhanāņam and the parokk hanāņam. The latter contains much that is interesting. It in turn is twofold, ābhinivohiya ("bodhika) and sua® (śruta). In the account of one of the two groups into which the abhinivohi yaparokkhanāņam is divided, are inserted eight gāthas, which contain the titles of stories which belong in this connection, and which are intended to serve as examples. The avacūri goes into detail on this point. The suanāņaparokkham is divided into 14 groups among which Nos. 5, 6, 13, 14 are of special importance :--The sammasuam 5, samyak śrutam, is explained as jam imam arihamtehi bhagavaṁtehim uppannanānadarsanadharehis paņiyaṁ duvalasaṁgaṁ ganipidagań, tam jaha : dyaro ditļhiváo876 icc-eyaṁ du gaṁ ga gam coddasapuvvissa sammasuar abhinna877 dasa [9] puvvissa sammasuaṁ. The posteriority of its composition to Vajra at least is clearly brought out in this passage. In miccha suam 6 we find that enumeration of some 20 works, or classes of works, of Brahminical literature which I cited from the Anuyogadvarasūtra878 and discussed on Bhagav. 2, 248. This list is here more detailed and offers several variants :- Bhāraham Rāmāyaṇam Bhimăsurukkham 879 Kodillayam880 sagabhaddiyā0881 kappasiyames nagasu 875 nănai pamcavihan: abhinivohiyanānañ sua ohio manapajjavao kevalao. Or duviham : paccakkham and parokkham, and the latter is then : abhinivohiyaparokk. handnam ca suanana parokkhan ca; the abhio is suanis siam ca asuanissiyam ca: both are fourfold, and the latter is divided into : uppatiya, venaid, kammia, pari nāmia buddhi (see p. 14n). 876 In the scholiast sāmāyikādi vidusäraparyant am, see pages 244, 245, 343. 871 tato 'dhomukhaparihanya yāvat sampurnadaśapūrvadharasya ; sec p. 16n. 878 Where it is characterized as no-agamao bhāvasuyam and as annānihiris micchadithihin sacchamdabuddhamaivigappiyam : cf. the 29 viham pavasuam Auasy., Ind. Stud. 16, pp. 115, 116. I denote the four MSS., to which I have had access as ABCR. The citations from Ned. are by Laumann. 899 oktam A, oskam R. 880 Kodao An., where shodamuham (A, odayamu° C, dayasuhan B, dayas uyam R) follows. Ned too has khodamuham, but after sayabhao. 881 sagadabhao BCR, set ambhao A. 882 kappakappiam A.
