(2) Vividhatirthakalpa or Kalpapradipa of Jinaprabhasūri (13081333 A.D.). Verses 3-24. of the eighth Kalpa called Arbudadrikalpa (page 15) contain the latter part of the story, the former one being altogether absent in this book. This versified version avoids or reduces all details such as dialogues etc.
(3) Puratanaprabandhasangraha.
(a) Passage no. 196 on p. 84 is the thirtyeighth prabandha called Srimätä-prabandha. It contains the latter part of the story. This version is according to Mss. B and P.
(b) Another version of the latter part of the story is given just below the above one on pp. 84-85 as passage no. 197. It is found in only one out of the five codices viz. Ms. no. G, which is rightly inferred to have been copied down in the reign of king Peroja, i.e., Pherozeshah of Delhi who came to the throne in V. S. 1407 (1351 A.D.).
A comparative study of all these versions is given in the following table :
