A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c8.198

c8.198

In the introduction to Nirvāṇa-kalikā (p. 6) attributed to Pādalipta Sūri, it is said that the Pāhuḍas were composed between the period ranging from the life-time of Bhadrabāhusvāmin to the 2nd century A. D. If so, these cannot be looked upon as sections of the *Puvvas* composed by the *Gaṇadharas*.
