The following eleven *Āgamas* seem to have contained their *Bhāsas* :—(1) *Āvassaya*, (2) *Dasaveyāliya*, (3) *Uttarajjhayana* (4) *Kappa* (5) *Pañcakappa* (6) *Vavahāra* (7) *Nisiha* (8) *Pañcamangalasuyakkhandha* (9) *Jiyakappa* (10) *Oha Nijjutti* and (11) *Pinda Nijjutti*⁴⁹ The *Bhāsas* on the *Brhat-* *Kalpa Sūtra*, *Vyavahāra Sūtra* and *Nisītha Sūtra* are very important as they contain most valuable information regarding various topics, particularly the life of monks and nuns and the society of those early days. The *Bhāṣya* on the *Bṛhatkalpa Sūtra* is written by Sanghadāsagaṇi Kṣamāsramaṇa;⁵⁰ most of the *Bhāsas*, however, are annonymous.
