A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c10.71

c10.71

⁷ Prof. A. M. Ghatage has written an article on this, and it has been published in *The Indian Historical Quarterly* (vol. XII, No. 2, pp. 270-281, June 1936). Herein he has divided the *Nijjuttis* into 3 groups. In the 1st group he has included the *Nijjuttis* on the first two *Aṅgas*. As regards the remaining groups he has said: "The second group consists of those Niryuktis where verses of the so-called mūla-Bhāṣya are added to the original Niryukti either to explain it or to supplement it (p. 270). "In the third group come the Niryuktis which are now called by the names of the Bhāṣyas and Bṛhad-Bhāṣyas like those on Nisiha and others where it is not now possible to separate the original Niryukti and the latter commentary on it." (pp. 270-271) For comparison see p. 173.
