= T. 430-446; T. 1216-46 have many gathas common with Avn. 952-982 ; Avn, 1241-43 = T. 447-449; Also comp. these with Devendrastava 273-302. T. has following gatha
जं अन्नाणी कम्म खवेइ बहयाहिं वासकोडीहिं । तं नाणी तिहिं गत्तो खवेइ उस्सासमेत्तेणं ।। १२१३ ॥
The same is found in Mahapratyakhyana-101. With slight variation Kundakunda's Pravacansara has :
जं अन्नाणी कम्म खवेइ भवसयसहस्सकोडीहि । नं नाणी तिहिं गुत्तो खवेइ उस्सासमेत्तेण ॥ ३.३८ ॥
and also Vimala's Paumacariya :
जं अन्नाण तवस्सी खवेइ भवसयसहस्सकोडीहि ।
कम्मं तं तिहि गुत्तो खवेइ नाणी मुहुत्तेणं ॥ १०२. १७७ ॥ It also should be noted that
सिज्झन्ति चरिय भट्ठा सण भट्ठा न सिज्झन्ति ।। १६ ।। this latter half is found in Ekatyanupreksa of Kundakunda and T. has
सिज्झन्ति चरणहीणा न सिझन्ति ॥ १२०७ ।। .. But note that in Bhaktaparijna 66 is same as that of Kundakunda's Ekatva. 19. with a difference that the former has singular number.
Amongst these authors it is difficult to say who is influenced by whom. . T. Gathas 1226-1227 are from Uttaradhyyana 36. 56-57. These and other factors help us in deciding the date of T. But since the dates of all the works utilised for comparision are not finally settled, we are not in a position to finalize the date of T. This much we can say that it was compiled before Vyavahara bhasya and we may for the time being agree with Shri Muni Kalyan vijayji that T. was completed in 5th. Century of Vikrama era,-vide his essay on Vira Nirvan Samvat p. 30.
