438 Major Delamatne on the Srdwacs or Jains. 



The eighth is Antara carma. It treats of avarice, wealth, possessions, 

 pleasure, and poverty.* 



Twelve angas containing various parts of knowledge and science, are 

 also mentioned in the Calpa stUra, as a part of the Jain scripture, also 

 fourteen purvas. However, I suppose they are vanishing, in practical utility 

 at least, as Bhadra Bahu thought fit to interpret the dream of the setting 

 sun, as signifying that in the fifth ara priests shall not know the eleven angas 

 (one having been already lost) nor the fourteen purvas. 



* The eight Carinas of the Jainas will be explained in an essay on the opinions of the Jainas, 

 Bauddhas, and other sectaries, which will shortly be laid before the Society. As the two 

 accounts are derived from quite different sources of information, it has not been thought proper 

 to alter or modify any thing here said on the subject. H.T.C.
