vasatiniväsa, i.e. the dwelling in the houses of laymer. (paragiha). Both sections seem to have coexisted for some time and no separation to have taken place; Silanka ' is said to have been a Caityavägin. But in the end the caityavása seems to have become discredited, and Jinesvarasüri, the founder of the Kharataragacoha in Samvat 1080 = 1024 A.D., established the vasatiniväsa, at least for his sect. • It is just what might be expected that at a time when the enmity between those two sections, or rather sects, was at its height, the Caityavāsins should have claimed the famous Haribhadra for one of their own, and their opponents should have repudiated their claim as null and void ; but it is equally certain that if at Haribhadra's time the mode of the monks' lodging had already become an important point of controversy, there would have been no occasion to doubt which side of the question he espoused.

Thono statements are, no doubt, arbitrary and entirely wrong, for Uddyotunasari, who wrote his great poem in 779 A.D., cannot have been remov. ed by one teabher only from Jinendrasūn, who fourished mere than two centuries Laker.
