In the 12th Anga is Dr̥ṣṭivāda. Kumudēndu Muni says that the Sēnagaṇas knew these 11 Angas accepted by Śvetāṁbaras. In the 12 Upāngas, the Uvavāia (Aupapātika), Rāyapasēnīya, Jīvābhigama, Sūrya Prajñapti, etc., are said by kumudēndu Muni.

The 12th Anga named Diṭṭhivāya has 5 cūḷikēs, says both Vīrasesa & kumudēndu. The fourth cūḷikē is known as Pūrvagata. In that, there are 14 divisions, where 2nd one is Agrēyaṇīya Pūrva. This Agrēyaṇīya Pūrva has 14 divisions, where 5th one is Cyavana Labdhi. Among 40 Pāhuḍas of Cyavana Labdhi, the 4th Pāhuḍa is known as Kammapayaḍi.

aggeyaṇīyassapūvvassa paṁcamassavatthussa cavutthopāhuḍo kamma payaḍī ṇāma
 (Bhūtabali)

Agrēyaṇīya Pūrva has 14 things as narrated by Pujyapāda in his Śrutabhakti:

pūrvāṁtaṁ hyaparāṁtaṁ dhruvamadhruvaṁ cyavanalabdhināmāni |
 adhruva saṁpraṇidhiṁ cāpyarthaṁ bhauvāvayādyaṁ ca
 sarvārthakalpanīyaṁ jñānamatītaṁ tvanāgataṁ kālaṁ
 siddhimupādyaṁ ca tathā caturdaśa vastuni dvitīyasya ||

These are narrated by kumudēndu Muni which is evident in 47-60 of the above list. 'Vandittu' named Sūtra is also quoted by kumudēndu Muni (Bhūvalaya, Śrutāvatāra p. 82). Even though it is written in some places that Joṇi Pāhuḍa is not proof for Digambaras, it seems like Joṇi Sāra is written by Kundakunda. The kumudēndu Muni has cited the epics of Kundakunda, Śivakoṭi, Śivāyana, Pūjyapāda, Samantabhadra, Cūḍāmaṇi's author Tuṁbalūrācārya, etc.,
