A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c8.65

c8.65

So far as the 6 *Cheyasuttas* are concerned, some portion of *Mahānisīha* must have been lost in the days Haribhadra Sūri tried to restore it, when several leaves of its Ms. got decayed.³ As stated in its 3rd *ajjhayaṇa*, by this time several *Nijjuttis*, *Cuṇṇis* and *Bhāsas* composed to explain *Pañcamaṅgalasuyakkhandha* had become extinct. This *Pañcamaṅgalasuyakkhandha* was once a separate work by itself, and was later on incorporated in a *mūlasutta* by Vajrasvāmin, who had a *padānu-sāriṇī labdhi*.⁴
