THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
Lit. (vol. II, p. 474) where the following note occurs by way of substantiating this information:

"Cf. G. Bühler, in Ind. Ant. 7, 1878, p. 28 f.; Farquhar, Outline, 218 f.; Guérinot, La religion Djaina, p. 81 ff., 85 f. A somewhat divergent division of the Anuyogas is given by S. C. Ghoshal in SBJ, i, p. xi."
We may now end this chapter by noting that the number of the Agamas was fixed as 45 at least by the time Viyarusara was composed, and this number is acceptable even now to several Murtipujaka Svetumbaras who look upon 11 Angas, 12 Urangas, 6 Cheyasuttas, 4 Mulasuttas, 10 Painnagas and 2 Culiyasuttas as the 45 Agamas. Some of them however believe that the number of the Agamas is 84 consisting of the following works:
11 Angas, 12 Uvangas, 5 Cheyasuttas, 3 Mulasuttas, 30 Painnagas, 2 Culiyasuttas, Pakkhiyasutta, Khamanasutta, Vandittusutta, Isibhasiya, Pajjosanākappa, Jiyakappa, Jajiyakappa, Saddha jiyakappa, 10 Nijjuttis, Pindanijjutti, Samsattanijjutti and Visesavassayabhāsa.
The late Rajendralal Mitra in his Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts (vol. III, p. 67) has given a list which is strikingly different from the traditional one.
