A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c8.358

c8.358

As regards the exegetical literature of the canonical texts, it may be noted that we have lost several Nijjuttis⁶ etc. For instance, Govinda Vācaka's Nijjutti⁷ is not available now, and so are Bhadrabāhusvāmin's Nijjuttis on Sūriyapaṇṇatti and Isibhāsiya. Even some of the Nijjuttis on Pañcamaṅgalasuyakkhandha have long since become a dead letter.⁸
