Paper presented at the All India Seminar (Jain Viśva Bhārati), Ladnun 1980 and published in the Tulasi Prajñā, Vol.VI-12, 1981, Prof.Alsdorf holds the view that the Bhāsya is a mere versification of the prose tradition represented by thc Cūrni. In this regard he differs from Leumann and Schubring (Vide Jaina Exegetical Literature and the History of the Jaina Canon, Mahavira and His Teachings, Bombay 1977, pp. 1-8). For further details, vide Prof. H.R.Kapadia : A History of The Canonical Literature of the Jainas, Surat, 1941, pp.190-192. (i) This appcars to be one of the reasons why scholarly studies of the Cūrnis have not been produced. (ii) Vide also Prof.Alsdorf, Op.cit., p.8. Published by R.K.Svetambara Institute, Ratlam, Part I, 1928 and Part II, 1929. Vide Pu.Malavania: Introduction to Jaina Sahitya kā Brhat Itihāsa, Part I, Varanasi, 1966, p.55. For the text of the Āvasyaka-niryukti, I have depended upon Sri Avašyakasūtram (Part III), D.L.J.Pustakoddhara Scries No.85, Bombay, 1936. Part. I and II were published by the Agamodaya Samiti, Bombay, in 1928 and 1932 respectively. References to Cilātīputra arc also found in Acaränga- Cūrni
