________________ xxvi We then come in this history to the commentaries. The old Niryuktis attributed to Bhadrabahu are the oldest available; but the perusal of the same leads one to believe that there existed a cosiderable activity to comment upon the Scriptures even before the composition of Niryuktis. Then we come to Trors, the language, handling and the materials of which lead us to believe them to be the compositions of 5th to 7th century A. C. Afterwards comes the age of Haribhadrasūri, Yakinįsūnu, then of S'ilanka and then 37CC a who flourished in the first part of the 12th century of the Vikrama era. It may also be stated that in the days of these commentators many points lexical and etymological had become obscure. § 4. The language of the Jain Canon is called Ardhamagadlji. In the scriptures the statements to thls effect are found. In Samaváya, Bhagavati, Ovavaia and Pannavaņa, 25 the 25. apr 34 (BTTTH Ho Ed.
