DESCRIPTION OF MANUSCRIPTS
83
There existed a ms. written in the 14th Cent. V.S., which contained three texts-(1) the Anuyogadvārasūtra, (2) the Anuyogadvārasūtracūrni of Sri Jinadāsaganimahattara and (3) the Anuyogadvārasūtravrtti of Ac. Hemacandrasuri of Maladhāragaccha. Out of these three, the portion containing the text of the Anuyogadvārasūtra was completely destroyed and many of the folios containing the remaining two texts were also destroyed. The first text, i.e., the Anuyogadvårasūtra, was again copied in 1456 V. S. at the instance of Sri Ratnasagarasūri. The missing folios containing the second text were also got copied in 1456 V. S. by Sri Jayatilakasūri, the spiritual teacher of Sri Ratnasāgarasūri. And both these are available in the ms. But the copy of the last ending portion of the third text, which was joined to this ms., is not extant.
