few verses of the original, 20 while simply quoting others, 21 though not taking them into the count of the verses. It is quite possible that these latter might have been added in proper places by the editors.
On close comparision with the TMS, it has been found that Lakşmidhara has kept e close eye on the work of Pallipala Dhanapāla over and above on the original prose work. He has borrowed a few phrases of the former in the process. The roots of the necessity of composing, within only two decades, a fresh compendium of the TM when such an excellent one was already there, might perhaps be traced in the sectarian rivalry between the Digambaras and the Śvetāmbaras, the two wellknown factions of Jainism. Pallipala Dhanapāla might have been a Digambara and the Svetāmbaras might have coveted such a scholarly credit for their sect also. Although Laksmidhara has tried to score a point over Pallipāla Dhanapāla in so far as he could economise the extent of his work by about eighteen verses - i. e. about thirty-five "Grarthas' -, he could not rise beyond the level of a mare aummarizer who could hardly catch the significance and excellences of the original prose work.
(3) Tilakamanjari-kathoddhāra : This work has been noticed by Prof. H. D. Velankar in his Jina-ratna-kosa22 under the title 'Tilakamanjari-prabandha' of Padmasagara. on the strength of the Colophone of the work.23 However, the authenticity of this colophone is open to doubt in so far as a palm-leaf Ms.24 of this same work does not have any colophone whatsover. Moreover, the title is rather misleading as it might be easily mistaken for the TM. it is therefore proper to prefer the title *Tilakamañjari - kathoddhara" (TMKU), in accordance with the statement of 20.
