A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c8.229

c8.229

It appears that Āryasamita Sthavira could stop the flow of a river by *yogacūrṇa* on account of his knowledge of *Siddhapāhuḍa*. That Pādalipta Sūri and Nāgārjuna Sūri could fly by applying some thing on the sole of a foot, is probably due to their knowledge of this work. It may be added that probably it was the knowledge of this *Pāhuḍa* that helped the two pupils of Susthitācārya in remaining invisible by means of some *añjana* applied to eyes and in sharing the food of King Candragupta.
