________________ 06 55 HAIENT -one of the eight beautiful damsels presented by Mada na bhra ma to Siddharāja J a y asimha. 8.15. 56 HESH -a female gardener of Ujjayini with whom the great king Vikra māditya is said in our prabandha to have gone to the nether world in the guise of a porter. 15.13, 18. 57 Heng -a royal officer of Mada n a bhra ma, who does not figure in the PK and PPS versions of the story. 3.3. -- same as hie2a. 7.8. 58 AIR 59 18[ ] ---the Chief Minister of Madan a bhra ma, who is called his Sarva-mantri-śreșjho måmidevaḥ sarvamudrādhikari in the PPS version. 3.3. 60 ATŪTUT a disciple of Deva sūri. As stated in our prabandha, he appears to have taken a prominent part in the great dialectic disputation at the court of Siddharāja Jay a simha of Patana, which resulted in the historic defeat of the Digambara pontiff Kumud a candra. The contemporary drama Mudritakumudacandra also furnishes an evidence about his being a participant of the contest. PPS (p. 27) represents him as speaking out a verse in reply to one uttered by Kum u dacan dra's bhaủța. PC (p. 67) also puts the same verse in his mouth. There he is described as a scholar who, though a mere molecule at she feet of Deva sūri, surpassed even Cāņa ky a in intellectual powers. It was he who secured the huge palace-like mansion of minister Santū as a Pauşadhaśāla by simply reporting, when Santū wanted to know the opinion of Devas üri about that newly constructed building, that it could be praised only if it were a Pauşadhaśālā. (PPS p. 31.) 24.3. 51 TTT --the officer in charge of the city-gates of Kānti, the capital of Mada na bhra ma. 3.3; 7.12.
