The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c7.s3.1

c7.s3.1

§50. The number of the Paiṇṇas varies, but, as mentioned in § 40, we find a central group or core. It consists of 10 of them. Since these have no standard order we are justified to deal with them in an order suitable to their contents. There will be added a few works that surround the centre group in a wider circle.
