Studies in Haribhadrasūri characteristic specialty of Ācārya Haribhadrasūri.
(5) It is most important here to scrutinize the significant verbal phraseological and expressional similarity met with in other treatises of Haribhadrasūri and in the Pañca-sūtra. The internal evidence of such stylistic features helps in arriving at a reasonably definite conclusion, regarding the authorship of this treatise.
Let us, then, compare some portions of the Pañca-sūtra with those of his other works like the Viṁśati-vimsatikā, the Dharmabindu, the Yoga-drsti-samuccaya, the Sodaśaka, etc.:
(i) In the Pañca-sūtraka, there appears a phrase, viz., vyādhita-sukriyā-jñāta, in the following Prakrit passage: 'Vāhiyasukiriyā-nāenań, se jahā kei mahā-vāhi-gahie, anubhūyatavveyaņe viņnāyā sarūveņa, nivviņne tattao, suvejjavayanena sammam tam avagacchiya jahā-vihāṇao pavanne sukiriyam, niruddha jahicchācāre tuccha-pattha-bhoī muccamāne vāhiņā nyattamāņa-veyaņe samuvalabbhāroggam pavaddamānatabbhave tallābha-nivvule pappaờibaṁdhão sirakhārāijoge vi vāhisamārogga-viņņāņeņa itthanipphattīo aņākla bhāvayāe kiriyovaogeņa, a-pīdie, a-vvahie, suha-lessāe vaddhai, vejjai, vejjaṁ ca bahu mannai, etc.23
The idea of this same expression vyādhita-sukriyā-jñāta is also found in a verse of the 12th Vimśikā of the Vimsati-vimsatikā (W) with a slightly altered wording and in a different context:24
No Āurassa rogo nāsai taha osaha sulo 7/12/1 Naya vivarienaeso kiriyā-jogena avi ya vaddhei/ Iya pariņāmāo khalu savvaṁ khu jahuttamāyarai //13/1 Thevo vitthama jogo niyameņa vivāga-dāruņo hoi / Pāga-kiriyā-gao nāyam iņaṁ suppasiddhaṁ tu //14// Jaha Ayurassa roga-kkhaya-tthino dukkarā vi suha-heu / Ittha cigicchā kiriyā taha ceva jaissa sikkhatti //15//
