(iii) The *Nijjutti* on *Āvassaya* should not be confounded with *Āvassayanijjutti* forming the seventh section of *Mūlāyāra*, a *Digambara* work attributed to Vaṭṭakera. For, this seventh section is not a com. on any work either belonging to the *Śvetāmbara* school or the *Digambara* one, though it is true that it resembles Bhadrabāhusvāmin's *Nijjutti* on *Āvassaya* in several respects. For instance, both are divided into six sections corresponding to (i) *Sāmāiya*, (ii) *Caüvisatthava*, (iii) *Vandaṇaya*, (iv) *Paḍikkamaṇa*, (v) *Paccakkhāṇa*, and (vi) *Kāüssagga*, the six well-known divisions of *Avassaya*. Besides, they deal with the same subject, and that, too, in *gāthās* in *Prākṛta*.
