INTRODUCTION.
71
The author says the work was composed for his pupils Bhāvacandra and others for their proper understanding. Occasionally Gujarāti words are also used for clarification. As Vivikta-nama-sangraha it is referred to in Mitra's notices X p. 151 No. 4015 where it is described as a commentary on the nama-sangraha of Hema Acārya commonly called Hema Kosha. Its colophon extracted there states that the commentary was composed during the reign of Vijayasena Sūri (who died in S. Y. 1672 Hindi) hence the maximum date of its composition is before S. Y. 1672. (A MS. copy is available in Deblā-Upāśraya Bhandār Ahmedābād. It is of 113 folios and is written in S. Y. 1698 at Syamapuri i. e. Kālupur of Ahmedābād. Another MS. is lying in New Sangha Bhandār Vakhatji's Sheri at Patan No. 25 in bundle 21 ).
8. Viveka-vilāsa-tīkā-A Sanskrit commentary on Viveka-vilāsa a work composed by Jinadatta Sūri of Vāyada Gaccha about S. Y. 1265. During the reign of Vijayānanda Sūri in S. Y. 1678, this commentary was corrected by Lābhavijaya Upādhyāya-the pupil of Kalyāņavijaya Upādhyāya, assisted by Jayavijaya—the pupil of Devavijaya, after getting permission of Siddhicandra for the purpose. (A correct contemporary MS. copy of 201 folios no 304 and a fresh copy of 320 folios written in S. Y. 303 in Bhaktivijaya's collection with Atmānand Sabhā, Bhavnagar, a new copy of 145 folios written in S. Y. 1958 in Pravartaka Kāntivijaya's Bhandār at Baroda Bundle No. 9 MS. No. 55, and a copy of 300 folios written in S. Y. 1967 in Hassavijaya's Bhandār at Baroda No. 1445 are available).
