A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c6.72

c6.72

The answer appears to be that the word *kāliya-suya* is here used in the 2nd sense out of 3: (i) in contrast with the word *ukkāliya*, (ii) etymologically and (iii) as a synonym of *caraṇa-karaṇānuyoga*³. The 2nd sense conveys that while studying the 11 *Aṅgas*-the entire *śruta*, *kāla* (time) is taken into account, and consequently each of the works so studied is called *kāliya*.
