Harṣakulaganio, Prajñāpanābljaka. Hence is the conjecture that this Prajñāpanābijaka may be the work of that very author. Of course, neither in the beginning nor at the end of the work we find any suggestion to this effect. This Prajñāpanābījaka contains the subject index of the chapters of Prajñāpanā. It is written in Sanskrit. The work begins from the folio 11 B and ends in the folio 14 A. The manuscript has been written in 1869 V. S.
(6) Avacuri by Padmasundara
Padmasundara composed this Avacuri on the basis of Ac. Malayagiri's commentary on Prajñāpanā. A manuscript of this avacuri is found in L. D. Collection (Serial No. 7400) of L. D. Vidyamandir. This manuscript has been written in Agaranagara in the year 1668 V. S. when Emperor Jahangira ruled over Delhi. Padmasundara was a friend of Emperor Akbar and he had presented to him so many Jaina and non-Jaina works. He belonged to Tapagaccha. His work having the title Akabaraśāhi Śṛngāradarpaṇa has already been published in Ganga Oriental Series in 2000 V. S. The manuscripts of his 'Yadusundarn-mahākāvya', 'Pārsvanāthacarita' and' Pramanasundara' are available in L. D. Collection of L. D. Vidyamandir. For details one may refer to the introduction to Akabarasahi Sṛngāradarpana'.
(7) Tabo (Bālāvabodha) by Dhanavimala
A manuscript of this work is found in Śrikirtimuniji's collection preserved in Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Vidyamandir, Ahmedabad. It bears No. 11079. It has been written in 1767 V. S. This means that the work has been composed before that date. It is probably the first translation of Prajñāpanā into vernacular language. The author has given his personal account at the beginning and at the end of the work. It is as follows:

9. This Harşakulagani composed Vasudevacopai' in 1557 V. S., corrected 'Kurmaputracarita' in 1577 V. S., wrote a commentary called Dipikā on Sutrakṛtänga in 1583 V. S., and taught Prakrit Grammar to the author of Dhumdhika' in 1591. Jaina Sahityano Samkşipta Itihasa, pp. 519 520, 529.
