ADDITIONS ETC. TO THE INTRODUCTION
Page 1, paragraph 1: Pt. Jugalkishore Mukthar has written an exhaustive and
learned Review of my edition of the Pravacanasāra in the Jaina Siddhānta Bhāskara, IV, i, pp. 53–69, Arrah 1937. Some of the facts brought to light by him merit attention. See also his note on Kundakunda and his works in his Introduction, pp. 12 f., to the Purātana Jainavākya Sūcī (P.J. S.), Sarsawa 1950.
Pt. Kailash Chandra Shastri has written an exhaustive Introduction in Hindi to his Prābhrta-Samgraha (Jivarāja Jaina Granthamālā, No. 9, Sholapur 1960). Though he has substantially used this Introduction, now and then he has made his own suggestions and additions which deserve notice. Some of the important ones are noted by me here and there below. Paragraph 2: The figures in square brackets refer to the pages of the
earlier edition brought out by me in 1935. Page 8, last word of the first paragraph, namely, 'the Mānuşa region': Pt.
Jugalkishore is not ready to accept this conjecture, see his Review noted above. Pt. Kailash Chandra's observations may also be seen. Vide his
Introduction noted above. Page 9, paragraph 2, on the word Vadanyāya: There is a work Vadanyāya by
Dharmakīrti as well. The first section of it is edited by Rahula Sankrityayan in the Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society, XXI, 4,
December 1935. Page 16, on the word 'Suyakevali,' in line 5: Pt. Jugalkishore's observations in his
Review and Pt. Kailash Chandra's remarks in his Introduction, noted
above, may be taken into account. Page 17, on the words 'Jayadhavală commentaries,' in line 26: Pt. Jugalkishore
has shown in his Review, noted above, that the Dhavalā contains reference to Parikarma. Dr. H. L. Jain has given references to the contexts in the Dhavalā where Pariyamma is mentioned. He shows that it was a commentary on the Şaşkhandāgama and quite authoritative. Though the name of the author is not noted, it is probable (from some common expressions in the Niyamasāra) that its author might have been Kundakunda (Dhavalā, vol. I, Intro. pp. 46 f., Amraoti 1939. For reference to Parikarma in the Jayadhavala, see Kasāyapāhuda, Vol. I, Intro. p. 34, Benares 1944) For some observations in this context see also Tiloyapannatti, part II (Sholapur 1951), Intro. p. 6. Pt Kailash Chandra also in the manner of Dr. H. L. Jain) has collected (see his Intro. noted above) a number passages from the Dhavalā which refer to
