________________ The ninth anga ( part ) is Anuttaropa-padikadasa-anga, gives an account of the ascetics, who were reborn in the five supreme heavens. The tenth anga 'Prashna-vyakaranaanga' gives instructions about questions relating to present, past and future gain and loss, life and death etc. It also furnishes the account of four kinds of narrations like Akshepani; Vikhshepni, Samvejini & Nirvejini. The eleventh Vipakasutra-anga' explains the bondage, operation, and existence of karmas. The twelfth is Drishtivaca which is divided into Parikarma, Sutra, Prathamanuyoga, Purvagata, Chulika. The Purvagata sub-division is classified into fourteen purvas. These angas and purvas are authoritative being the inter-pretations of the Word of the Omniscient God. They are according to poet Jinasena the Jain vedas. Most of the sacred ancient original Jain literature is lost or forgotten. A small fraction of the teachings of the Lord is available, but it contains pricoless and most precious matter and provides valuable material for scholars of comparative religion and men of erudition. The sermons of the Lord mainly expounded the path of salvation. The Divine discourses dealt with history, ethics, philosophy, cosmology and all branches of learning.
