DOCTRINE OF THE JAINAS AUTHOR's opinion the original K. contained a collection of what was permitted and proper for monks and nuns (niggantha and-thi) and what was not, while the original Vav. was the more differentiated codification of both order of rank and subordination and of the proceedings (vavahāra) taken against bhikkhu and bhikkhunī acting contrary to prescripts. Whence it follows that the Vav, rests on the Kappa

Nisiha. 20 uddesa. This title appears to be a mixture of nischa (interdiction) and nisihiyā (place of study). Udd. 1-19 offer lists of transgressions and their sanctions reaching from 1 to 4 months in which case the punishment either becomes effcctive immediately and without reduction (anugghārya) or else may be suspended or reduced (ugghārya). Thus the text has two different subjects. A third one refers to additional punishment (arovanā) when previous transgressions have been concealed or new ones were committed This is treated in the 20th udd (20, 1-20= Vav 1, 1-20). It is this udd. that must be meant when Thān. 325a speaks of the fivefold, and Samay. 47b of the 28fold, Āyārapagappa (though in the latter we have but a few terms not contained in Nis 20) Abhayadeva, it is true, takes thc Āy, as being the whole Nis , just as does Malayagırı in his comm. on Vav 3, 3 and 10,16 f Āv nijj 16, category 28, gets this number by including the threefold Nis. in the Āyārapagappa=Āyāranga. About the Nis once having been an appendix (5th cūlā) to the Ayāra ($ 45), as state still reflected in the Āyāranijjutti, see LEUMANN, Übersicht p 22a.
