1 SIDDHASENA DIVĀKARA
49
In the Nyājāvatára there are only 32 verses. According to the statement of the Prabhāvaka Carita, this work also forms one of the 32 Dwātrissikās as referred to above. It is mentioned in the oldest composition that there are 32 Dwātrimsikās, but there is no clear evidence to show that Nyāyāvatāra was one of them. Now, if we suppose that the 32 Dwātriņšikās do not include Nyāyāvatāra, then Kalyānamandira would be the 34th work and Nyāyāvatāra must be regarded as the 33rd work of Divākara. At present only 21 out of the said Dwātrisśikās are extent. If we add Nyāyāvatāra and Kalyānamandira to them there would be 23 Samskřtā works of Divákara in all available at present. According to the version of the Prabhā vaka Carita, there were originally 33 works of Divākara, or 34. if we add Nyāyāvatāra to the list. It is clear that about 10 or 11 works of Divā kara are missing at present. What the subject matter of these missing works was and what their names were, is totally unknown at present. There are some stray verses, found quoted from his works by old authors. Those verses occur there with the name of Siddhasena? or Stutikāra. They are probably from the missing Dwătrimsikās. .
