to what I have cited on page 79 from the Vidhiprapa, [81] the pindan, is connected with the fifth chapter of the third mülasūtra. It is surprising that a niryukti text should appear as a part of the Siddh. (see above p. 41). It deserves to be noticed that the pindan, is not mentioned in the anangapavittha list of the Nandi (see p. 11. ff). In the list of Raj. L. Mitra and Kasinath Kunte pindanir yukti appears as the name of their fourth chedasūtra; Kasinath says that its contents is "on the cause of hunger and the nature and kind of food to be taken." A pindaniryuktivstti is ascribed to the old Haribhadra (see p. 458). Kielhorn, 1.c., cites a vrtti of Viragana. (see above pp. 44, 51). According to his account its extent is 61 leaves, four or five lines on a page, each line 50 aks and in all about 900 slokas.
It remains for us to give a brief account of those texts quoted as parts of the Siddhānta in the Ratnasagara, and by Rajendra Lala Mitra, and Kasinath Kunte-see pp. 226, 227 - which do not appear in Bühler's list.
In the first place in reference to the jitakalpa1050 cited in the Rataasågara as the sixth chedasūtra and in reference to the gacchāyāra called ibid, the eighth painnam. Cf. pages 478 and 445.1051
[82] The third variation in the Ratnasagara from Bühler's list which we find there has reference to the fourth mulasūtram wbose place is taken by the oghaniryukti1058 and in fact as No, 3.
1. We have already seen (p. 61) from Āv. Nijj, 6, 88, that a text of this name ought strictly to be cited there as a constituent part of the text of the Av. Nijj, in P. 9 it is actually cited as such and from the scholia on it and on Uttarajjh. 26, above p. 48, that tradition regards it as an excerpt made by Bhadrabahusvāmin from pūrva 9,8,90. This is confirmed by the introduction of the avacūri to the oghan. We have also
1050 Fifth "kalpasutra" in Raj. L. M. and Kas. 1051 I add that a Jitakalpasūtram is mentioned by Kielhorn, 1 c. p. 51 and a
jitakalpacurni on p. 17; also in Petersons Palm-leaf 101, where the beginning and the conclusion are given, the total contents being 202 (102?) gāthās. It begias siddhi sahayāramāyāvaņibhavadavamayanapadibhadāņa kamol kiran siram niram viram namium mahaviran || 1 || vocchan pancagaparihānipagara
