THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS (CHAR. Samlehaņāsuya—This is a work which deals with dravyasamlekhanā and bhāva-samlekhana. The former consists in reducing the necessities of life, and the latter, in controlling passions.
Vihärakuppa-This work supplies a code governing the lives of the Sthavira-kal pins and the Jina-kalpins.
Caranavihi—This work has carası (conduct of a clergy ) as its subject-matter. This carano includes the five great vows etc.
Nirayavisohi-As stated on p. 26, some look upon this work as ukkaliya suya. But no additional information can be had about it except that it is extinct.
Marunavisohi-In Ācāradinakara (pt. II, p. 303b) we have a list of works belonging to the kāliya suya and ukkāliya suya, and therein this work is noted as ukkāliya.
Āyavibhatti-This work is noted as ukkaliya on p. 26. No further particulars are available except that it is extinct.
Utthānapariyāvaniyaa-This was one of the text-books for a Sādhu of 13 years' standing. It seems to be the same as Utthānasuya for the following reasons: (i) In the edition of Vavahāra having Bhāsa and Malaya
giri Sūri's com., there is Utthānasuya instead of Uttha
napariyāvaniya. In Pañcavatthuga (v. 585), too, it is so. 2 (ii) In the Bhāsa (p. 109a )3 on Vavahāra (X), Devindovu
vāya is equated with Devindapariyāvana. So, on this analogy Utthānasuya may be identified with Utthānapa
riyāvaniya. Thimiņabhāvanā-This was the text-book for a Sadhu of 14 years' standing according to Vavahāra, But, it is not so as can be seen from Pañcavatthuga (v. 586).
1. On p. 26, 1, 22, read uk kāliya-suya for kāliya-suya. 2 The word utthānapariyāniya occurs in Viāhapannatti (XV; s. 540); but
there it is not used to denote this or any other work. 8 "तेरसवासे कप्पइ उट्ठाणसुए तहा समुट्ठाणे । देबिंदं परियावण नागाण तहेव परियावणीया ।। १११ ॥" 4 This verse and verses 582-585 and 587 and 588 are quoted by Abhayadeva
Sūri in his com. (p. 301b) on Thăna (V, I; s. 399).
