§41. We now proceed to give the common survey of the extant Svetambara Canon (āgama, siddhanta). Angas: 1. Āyāra (quoted as Bambhacerāim, Cūlāo, Bhāvaṇā, Vimutti), 2. Sūyagaḍa, 3. Ṭhāṇa, 4. Samavāya, 5. Viyāhapaṇṇatti, 6. Nāyādhammakahāo (quoted as Nāya and Dhammakahāo,), 7. Uvāsagadasāo, 8. Antagaḍadasāo, 9. Aṇuttarovāiyadasāo, 10. Paṇhāvāgaraṇaīm, 11. Vivāgasuya. Uvangas: 1. Rāyapaseṇaijja,⁴ 2. Uvavāiya (quoted as Samosaraṇa and Uvavāiya), 3. Jīvābhigama, 4. Paṇṇavaṇā, 5. Sūrapannatti, 6. Jambuddīva-pannatti, 7. Candapaṇṇatti, 8. Nirayāvaliyāo. 9. Kappavaḍimsiyāo, 10. Pupphiyāo, 11. Pupphacūlāo, 12. Vaṇhidasāo. Paiṇṇas. Causaraṇa, Āurapaccakkhāṇa, Bhaṭṭapariṇṇā, Saṃthāra, Mahāpaccakkhāṇa, Caṇḍāvijjhaya, Gaṇivijjā, Taṇḍulaveyāliya, Devindatthaya, Viratthaya and others. Cheyasuttas: Āyāradasāo (Dasā 8, “Kalpasūtra”=Jiṇacariya, Therāvalī, Pajjosavaṇā-kappa; Dasā 10=Āyāiṭṭhāna), Kappa, Vavahāra, Nisīha, Mahā-nisīha, Pancakappa, Jiyakappa. Nandi, Aṇuogadāra. Mūlasutta: Uttarajjhāyā, Āvassayanijjutti, Dasaveyāliya, Piṇḍanijjutti, Ohanijjutti. The homogeneity which, as we are led to assume, unites these titles is often merely an apparent one. Nearly all old and various later canonical works are composed of parts which frequently are rather incongruent, as may be seen from the brackets given above. Apart from such cases striking the eye there are others where parts and particles of some chapters, on the ground of higher criticism, can be connected in a new manner.
