Śricandra, pupil of Dhanesvara, pupil of Sīlabhadra, Ṭīkā, composed in samvat 1228 [1171], 605, 650, 737 or 637 granthas (JRK 213).
Printed. NirayaSu. 1885; 1922; 1934; 1938. Translated into Gujarātī NirayaSu.1933 or 1934.
Ṭabbā, 1100 granthas, (BORI Cat. 17:1, 252-53). Is this the same as the tabbā by Dharmasī = Dharmasimha cited in NirayaSu. 1987-89 (p. 36)?
Paryaya, (BORI Cat. 17:1, 254), attributed to Candrakīrti in one prasasti from Khambhat (samvat 1212) but there may be different works with the same name (Punyavijaya, Prastāvanā Nandi. 1966b, 10-12). The BORI manuscript contains a short text entirely extracted from Śrīcandra's work listed above.
Bālavabodha, (BORI Cat. 17:1, 254-56).

Although this edition says nothing about its sources, it does give a dozen or so variants for both the mula and the cty. In one instance the textual notes on the mula cite sources 'a, ka, ca' (34b). Similarly: ... iti vā pāṭhah (1b); pra[tyantare] (5b, 26a, 27a, 31a, 38a); ... bahuṣvadarseṣu drśyate (37a).
Deleu adds that "this edition... is, even more than the other Agamodaya-Samiti editions uncritical and full of inaccuracies" (1969, 78).
ANU PAMPHLET BL1312.6.N57 1922 The BORI copy has an identical title-page except for the publication statement:
1 Sanskrit forms would be: Nirayavali, Kalpavatamsikāḥ, Puspikāḥ, Puspaculikāḥ, Vṛṣṇidaśaḥ.
2 An edition by Atmārāmaji was listed in Nandi. 1966c (19 (1st group)). I have not, however, traced any other details. This may have been a first edition of what is listed below as *NirayaSu.1994.
