The title of the work, faag is explained by the Com, as :-विपाकः पुण्यपापरूपकर्मफलम्, तत्प्रतिपादनपरं श्रुतं आगमः विपाकश्रुतम्; it means a sacred text expounding the fruits of acts, good and bad. The work is therefore divided into two parts, (, Sk. श्रुतस्कन्ध, a sacred volume) called दुहविवाग, fruits of bad acts and gefaam, fruits of good acts. Bad acts are the violations of the principles of Jain ethics, while good acts mean the observance of these, serving food to monks, leading a pious life and practising various kinds of austerities. It does not seem from the text that the author of the work had before him any systematic classification of bad acts such as is found in later works. It appears therefore that the work is really old or at least based on really old material.
