बारस अंगवियाणं चउदसपुव्वंगविउलवित्यरणं । सुयणाणि भद्दबाहू गमियगुरुभयवओ जयओ ॥
- बोधपाठ ६.२.
(f: Ed. Pt. Pannalal Soni, Manikyacandra-Digambara-Jaina-Granthamälä, Vol. 17, Bombay, V. S. 1977 [A. D. 1927], p. 127.) 81. Unfortunately, the original article by A. M. Ghatage is not handy. If my memory does not play me false, it had appeared in one of the issues of the Jaina Gazette. 82. Hence some scholars have concluded that he was a later and hence different Bhadrabahu about whose date the opinions widely differed.
83. See here the entire text of the inscription cited under annotation 31.
84. However, we must remember that, at least three temples were built on that hill top to the north of this earliest inscription engraved on the surface of the groundrock there. Could these have covered and hence concealed beneath them some still earlier inscriptions?

85. At least I so for have not come across the examples of the personal names ending with 'candra' in the earlier context.

88. Provided, of course, the belief/tradition recorded there is sufficiantly accurate. 89. मउडधरेसुं चरिमो जिणदिक्ख धरदि चंदगुत्तो य ततो मउडधरा दु प्यवज्जं णेव गण्हति ॥

90. I have based this passage on the information noted in the Introduction by Pt. Vijayamurti-his compilation earlier referred to here-as also the Introduction by the editiors of the Epigraphia Carnatica, Vol. 1, (sec. ed.), Mysore, and the observations thereof.
