Study question (generated from the text)
In the Jain canon the Prāṇāvāya is one of the fourteen Pūrvas of the twelfth aṅga, the scripture that sets out the eight-limbed Ayurveda; Ugrāditya says he composed the Kalyāṇakāraka in Sanskrit by condensing this Ardhamāgadhī scripture.
Detailed answer
The editor says the Jain āgama is authoritative because the gaṇadharas arranged the Omniscient's divine voice into the twelve aṅgas, and that the Prāṇāvāya also deals with poisonous creatures and their treatment and the division of prāṇa and apāna; citing chapter 25, verse 54, he regards the Kalyāṇakāraka as part of that canon. The introduction's footnote, calling it the Prāṇavāda Pūrva, says all ācāryas composed their Ayurvedic works in accordance with it.
