Some Jaina Canonical Sutras c10.2

c10.2

This *sūtra*¹ is counted as the fourth *Anga* of the Jain *Āgama* which may be regarded as a Jaina canonical compilation in continuation of the third *anga* called *Thānamga*. Both the *angas* follow the numerical method of presenting their subject-matters as in the Pāli *Anguttara* or *Ekuttara Nikāya*. The *Thānamga* agrees more closely with the *Anguttara Nikāya* in so far as their numerical groupings stop at the number ten while the *Samavāyamga* supersedes them in going not only beyond ten but also beyond hundred and even as far as *kror* and *kror* of *krors*.
