SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS
atthinatthipavāyassa puvvassa (this is the fourth pūrvam) athārasa vatthū ; in § 19 enumeration of the 19 nāyajjhayaņas, i.e. of the 19 books of anga 6, in kārikā form ; in § 23 enumeration of the 23 suyagadajjhayaņas, i.e. of those of anga 2 ; in $ 25 enumeration of the 25 ajjh. of anga 1;. āyārassa bhagavao sacūlijāgassa, the mahāparinni being mentioned in the ninth place and the nisihajjhayaņa being designated outright as “25th ajjh.” The latter is probably the cūliyă (see § 57 and p. 254); the designation as bhagavant is found also in $ 85, cf. also $ 84; in § 36 enumeration of the 36 ajjh. of the uttarajjhayaņa, i.e. of the first mülasūtra, and in fact with a few insignificant variations of the names given here ; see below § 43 teyalisaṁ kammavivāgajjhayaņa pań (nattā); the names are however not enumerated ; accord. to the schol. the 20 ajjh, of the eleventh anga, called vivāgasuya are hereby referred to, as also the 23 of the second (!) anga. Cf. page 270 in reference to the kammavivāgadasāu in ten ajjh, mentioned in anga 3, 10; § 44 coyālisam ajjhayaņā isibhāsiya devalogacuyobhisiya pam (nattā); both of these texts, at least under these names, are no longer extant.169* I have found the devalogacuyabhāsiyă mentioned in this place alone; the isibhāsiyā however are often mentioned. We have already come across them (see p. 272) in anga 3, 10 as third ajjh. of anga 10 (!). [281] In the Nandi they appear among the anangapavitha texts; the author of the Āvašy. nijj. confesses that he (2, 6) is author of a nijj. to the isibhāsiai too, and (8, 54), placing them in' the second place, describes them together with käliasua, sūrapannatti and ditthivaa as the four kinds of aņuoa (see p. 258); Abhay. however here characterizes them as kalikaśrutaviśesabhūtāni. Haribhadra on Āv. identifies them, on one occasion (2, 6) with păinna 7, on another (8, 54), be calls them uttarādhyayanadini ! See above, p. 259. They appear also in connection with the painnas, embracing 50 (!) ajjh in the Vidhiprapa, where their connection with the Uttarajjhayaņa as matāṁtara is also referred to - $ 46 ditthivāyassa naṁ chāyālisaṁ măuyāpayā (mātskāpadāni) paṁ (natta) baṁbhie nam livie chayālisaṁ māuarakkhā (madurakară BC. perhaps māuakkhara ? māts + akş°) pam. In reference to the 46 māuyāpaya of anga 12 see below. By the "lekhyavidhau 46 måt skāk sarāņi" of the Scriptures are according to the schol., to be understood170 a to ha, with the addition of ksa, but with the omission of jha-da-tri (?)-ūṁ (?)la (?).171 These statements are of the most remarkable character. The
169* The schol. however regards the abhijit series as siddhāṁtamatam: he then adds: iha
(in the text) tu matāṁtaram afrit va křttikadini .....bhanitāni : camdraprajñaptau
iu bahutarāni matāni darsitāni) (Ind. Stud. 10,285). *70* See however the last but one asterism note. 171 The Paniniya siksă counts 63 or 64 varnas and (as is very remarkable) "both for
Sanskrit and for Prakrit (!)" See Ind. Stud. 4,348,349.
