  • Introduction to Anuyogdwar Sutra (Page 19): It explains that the text is known as "Anu-mokashamak" in Prakrit and "Anuyogadwar" in Sanskrit and Gujarati. Its primary subject is "Anuyog" (commentary or exposition), but it also covers topics like Aavashyak (essential duties), Shrut (scripture), Skandh (sections), Upakram (introduction), Anupurvi (succession), Naam (names), Praman (valid cognition), Samavataar (classification), Nikshep (categories), Anugam (analysis), and Nay (viewpoints). It notes the absence of commentaries like Niryukti or Bhashya, but mentions the existence of a Churni and extensive commentaries by Haribhadrasuri and Malladharin Hemchandracharya. Anuyogdwar is considered a "key scripture" as it provides the foundational principles for interpreting other Agams. It is currently recognized as a "Chulika Sutra" (a supplementary or secondary scripture).
  • Starting with the Five Types of Knowledge (Page 19 onwards): The translation begins by enumerating the five types of knowledge in Jainism:
    1. Abhinibodhika Jnan (Mati Jnan): Knowledge gained through senses and mind.
    2. Shrut Jnan: Knowledge gained through listening or reading scriptures.
    3. Avadhi Jnan: Clairvoyant knowledge of form.
    4. Manahparyav Jnan: Telepathic knowledge of others' thoughts.
    5. Keval Jnan: Omniscient knowledge.
  • Detailed Explanations (Pages 19-68): The text then delves into the characteristics and classifications of each type of knowledge, followed by the introduction of the concept of "Anuyog." It discusses the significance of Shrut Jnan as the primary means of accessing and transmitting Jain teachings. The text then moves on to explain the different types of Anuyog and how they are applied, detailing various categories and analytical frameworks like Nikshep, Upakram, and Nay.
  • Focus on Aavashyak (Pages 21-35): A substantial portion of the text focuses on the "Aavashyak" (essential duties) as part of the Anuyog. It categorizes Aavashyak into four types: Naam Aavashyak, Sthapana Aavashyak, Dravya Aavashyak, and Bhav Aavashyak, providing detailed explanations and examples for each.
  • Further Analysis of Shrut (Pages 35-40): The text continues to discuss Shrut Jnan, its types (Naam, Sthapana, Dravya, Bhav), and then moves to the concept of "Skandh" (sections of scripture), again classifying it into Naam, Sthapana, Dravya, and Bhav.
  • Naya and Their Application (Pages 40-52): A significant portion is dedicated to explaining the seven Nayas (viewpoints or logical principles) and how they are applied in understanding reality. This includes detailed discussions on how different Nayas interpret concepts like "Aavashyak" and "Skandh" in relation to "Anupayukt" (unapplied) souls.
  • Detailed Analysis of various concepts: The text meticulously breaks down concepts like:
    • Aavashyak: Its types (Naam, Sthapana, Dravya, Bhav) and their sub-categories, including elaborate examples for Naam and Sthapana.
    • Shrut: Its types (Naam, Sthapana, Dravya, Bhav) and the nuances within Dravya Shrut based on different Nayas.
    • Skandh: Its classification into Naam, Sthapana, Dravya, and Bhav, with further sub-divisions based on Nayas and various physical attributes (such as Sachiit, Achitt, Mishrit).
    • Kaal (Time): Its measurement and classification.
    • Various other concepts: The text continues to systematically analyze other core Jain philosophical and analytical concepts within the framework of Anuyogdwar.

In essence, this volume is a deep dive into the Anuyogdwar Sutra, a foundational text in Jainism for understanding the structure and interpretation of the Agams.
