A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c5.113

c5.113

Out of these ten works, we had an occasion to mention (1), (2), (4) and (5) up till now. As regards (3), it appears that it is not a work of one single author, though Prof Banarasidas in his Ardhamāgadhī Reader (p. 45) attributes its authorship to Bhadrabāhusvāmin. Works (6), (7) and (8) come under the class of works known as Chedasūtras, and they are said to be the compositions of Bhadrabāhusvāmin. Works (9) and (10) are rather anonymous, and out of them, the last is said to be a work consisting of 45 ajjhayaṇas narrated by 45 Pratyekabuddhas, one by each of them.³
