The number was variable as in the two necklaces carved on the Sanchi Stūpa. By the first century A. D. the list had been standardised to a selection of eight, known as aṣṭamaṅgalaka, as depicted on the Jaina Āyāgapaṭas of Mathura. This list was far flung in place and time since the word aṭṭhamaṅgala occurs in the Mahāvaṃsa (30.65), Aṅgavijjā and Harshacharita.
