VIII, Nagar Tl. no. 35), Umāsvāti or Grddhapiccha (also spelled as Grdhrapisicha, etc.) qua 'padārtha-vedi' which suggests him to be the author of the T.S. occurs in the Sravanabelgola inscriptions of the 12th century A. D. onwards (J. S. L. S., v. 1, nos. 40, 42, 43, 47, 50, etc.). Umāsvāti alias Gțddba piccha is mentioned as the author of the T.S, in the Sravanabelgola inscription no. 105 of 1398 A. D., and Umāsvāti as the author of the T.S. occurs in the epigraphy of c. 1530 A.D. (E. C.
