as distinguished from rh in the following sentence. Dr H. C. Bhayani writes to me thus in his letter dated 22-7-57: "In the new portion of the text Svayambhacchandas of Svayambha that has come to light, a stanza by one Viaddha has been quoted to support the rule that in Pk. a conjunct with r as its latter member is not position-making. The stanza is the stanza is the same as Paramatma-prakata 2. 117 but with this important difference that as in Hemacandra the form is vodraha-draha (1. e., with r intact) as it ought to be if it is to serve as an apt illustration." The verse in question, II 117, is not in Apabhramia; and Brahmadeva has introduced it with the phrase uktam ca. May be that Joindu himself has quoted it, because it is included even in the Shortest Recension.
(2) On p. 60, the word gurau:
Pt. Becharadasaji, Ahmedabad, writes to me thus in his letter, dated 23-11-40 "In Rajaputāna and Maravada, the Svetämbara Yatis (with parigraha) are known by the names 'guram', 'guramji', 'guramsa'. They occupy a respectable position in the society, and some of them are good physicians, some quite learned, and some of them of respectable conduct. It appears that Yogindra has this usage in view while using gura for a Svetämbara."
meaning a Bauddha,
(3) On p. 61. the word vaṁdau: The word vandaka, The word vandaka, is used by Amitagati in his Dharmaparikça, XV 75. (4) On p. 68, with reference to the sentence under ii), in the paragraph, Joindu's Claims, and a supplementary verse found at the close of Ms. Bha (after the concluding colophon) attributes the text to Yogindradeva'.
The verse in question runs thus:
मूलं योगीन्द्रदेवस्य लक्ष्मीचन्द्रस्य पञ्जिका वृत्तिः प्रभाचन्द्रमुनेर्महती तत्त्वदीपिका ॥
It is quite likely, in the absence of ca, that jogindra-davasya is merely an adjective of Laksmicandrasya, Lakṣmicandra being the author of the mala or the basic text; and the exhaustive pañjika-vrttiḥ, Tattva-dipika by name. belongs to Prabhacandra-muni.
(5) On p. 70, about Lakṣmicandra :
An Apabhrama Dahanupaha, in 47 verses, attributed to Kavi Laksmicandra is published in the Anèkanta, XII, 9, pp. 302-3.
(6) My friend Dr. V. Raghavan, University of Madras, Madras, has contributed a note on the date of Joindu; and it is being reproduced here:
"On page 66 of his introduction to the Paramatma-prakasa of Yogindu, edited by him as No. 10 of the Rayachandra Jaina Sastramāla, Dr. A. N. Upadhye says about the name of the author that Joindu or Jogindu or Yogindu is the correct name of the author and that, by a mistake, the Sanskrit form Yogindra had become popular.
On pp. 74-79, ibid, Dr. Upadhye discusses the date of Joindu and concludes that the date falls between those of the Samadhitataka and the
