In Jñātādarmakathā there are measured readings, numerable disquisition doors up to numerable verses collecting meanings (sangrahanī). Among [the twelve] Angas, Jñātādharmakathā, the sixth (contains) two books, nineteen chapters. These (chapters) are expounded, in brief, as two-fold, namely—biography (carita) and fables (kalpita). [There is) group (varga) of ten religious stories. Each of these religious stories (dharmakathā) is said to contain 5,00 short narratives (ākhyāyikā), each of these short narratives (is said to contain) 5,00 subordinate tales (upākhyāyikā) and each of these subordinate tales (is said to contain) 5,00 short-subordinate stories (ākhyāyikaupākhyāyikā), thus it is said that [the aggregate of] the former with latter narratives is three and half crore narratives. Twenty-nine sections, twentynine sub-sections and numerable words in all are expounded [in Jñātādharmakathā]. Numerable syllable, up to the exposition of conduct and disposition is instructed. This is jñātādharmakathā.
