1940. This published Ms. is based on Ms. copied by Amộta Vijaya, V.S. 1823.
B.1 This is a palm leaf Ms. with an unknown author's commentary,
35 * 3.7 Cm. in size, with a label, 'Praśamarativịtti'. It is from Hemacandrācārya Jñana Bhandar, Patan, No-68-2. It contains 300 leaves and it is written in Devanāgari script on both sides of the leaves in black ink. It is a very carefully written Ms. Each side of the leaf has 3-4 lines and about 52-53 words in each line. It gives only first verse of the Pragamarati in full and then throughout the commentary, gives only beginning of the each verse. It gives word to word explanation of the text. On the right side of every leaf al 951141 ateraf numbers are given. It seems from the colophon that, an old Ms. was having torn leaves and those torn leaves were rewritten on papers by Punyamerugaņi and Hemasāgaragaại in V.S. 1487 (=1431 A.D.). But some leaves are missing in this Ms. viz. commentary on verses 309-313. Total mentioned Granthāgra is 2500. It begins with : sto ali afariniai प्रशस्थितेन येन्यं कृता वैगग्यपद्धतिः ।
तस्मै वाचकमुख्याय नमें। भूतार्थदर्शिने ।। and ends with
99 Ayaq: falcali Colophon runs like this : सं. १४८७ वर्षे कार्तिक सुदि १० गुरौ श्री देवलवाटकनगरे । श्री चंडगछे । श्री पूर्णचंद्रसूरिपदकमलहंसैः श्रा हेमहससूरिभिः स्वय पुण्यमेरूगणिनां च मुद्गलभंगे 0. A 720 t (?) सूत्रस्यास्य ग्रंथस्य ग्रन्थान श्लोक २५००.
