Some Jaina Canonical Sutras c8.5

c8.5

The *Sūtrakṛtāṅga* has three commentaries: (i) Silāṅka's *Ṭīkā* which is the oldest commentary extant, (ii) the *Dīpikā* composed in 1517 A.D., and (iii) a Gujrati gloss known as *Bālāvabodha*. This text has been published with various commentaries in the *Āgamasaṃgraha*, Vol. 2, Bombay, 1880. The *Āgamodaya Samiti* has also published this text with Silāṅka's commentary (1917). This text has been translated into English by Jacobi in S.B.E., Vol 45, and some selected sections have been translated into German by Schubring—‘*Worte Mahāvīras*’. Dr. P. L. Vaidya's edition of this text (*Sūyagadam*, Poona, 1928) deserves mention.
