18. Thiscürni, like that on the Acäränga and the one on the Sūtrakṛtānga, is younger
among that class of agamic exegetical literature.

19. Haribhadra (active c. A.D. 740-784), as guessed by earlier writers, apparently had begun his literary career by writing vṛttis in Sanskrit on the agamas like. the Nandi, the Anuyogadvära, and the Avasyaka in c. A. D. 750.
Jambu-jyoti
The Kahavali of Bhadreśvara süri is as yet unpublished. Prof. Harivallabha Bhayani had assigned the task of its editing to Dr. Ramanik Shah. I am grateful to Dr. Shah for giving me the gist of the "Bhadrabähu-kathä" incorporated in that medieval work. As for its date, see my paper, "Kahävali-karty Bhadreśvara sûrino Samaya," (Gujarati), Sambodhi Vol.12, Ahmedabad 1982-83. It has been included in the Nirgrantha Aitihäsika Lekha-Samuccaya, pt.1, Ahmedabad 2002, pp.103113. (There, the word was 'kartṛ' in the original rubric which here is replaced by 'kartta.')
21. Sthaviravalicarita or Parisistaparvan, (Ed.) Hermann Jacobi, sec. ed., Calcutta 1932, pp.242-248; and Sri Parisistaparva (Gujarātī), translator Rajasekhara süri, Ahmedabad 1994, pp.182-186. The particulars on the content of the Parisiṣṭaparva will be cited in this article at a relevant point in the discussion.
22. Bhagavati Aradhana, pt.2. (Ed.) Pt. Kailäścandra Siddhantaśästri, Solapur 1978, p.707. The work earlier has been identified as of the Yapaniya sect by Pt. Nathooram Premi, A. N. Upadhye, and even Pt. Kailashchandra Shastri agreed with this attribution. I forego citing references to their writings since not directly relevant to the present discussion.

27. Its editor Kharabadi ascribes the work to Śivakoti and dates it to the tenth century. But Hampa Nagarajaiah has shown, on the basis of a reference in the Punyaśrava
