________________ 52 OPERATIONS IN SEARCH OF SANSKRIT MSS. “ Srimad Mahendrasûri, the faithful pupil of sri Hemasûri, in. scribes on this commentary his master's name:” सम्यग्ज्ञाननिधेर्गुणैरनवधेः श्रीहेमचंद्रप्रभो । मेथे व्याकृतिकौशलं व्य [व] सति (तत्) कास्मादृशां तादृशम् ।। “My lord Hemachandra was a store of right knowledge, and his virtues knew no bonnds; how should such as I be able to explain his book.” व्याख्यामः स्म तथापि तं पुनरिदं नाश्चर्यमंतर्मनस्तस्याजस्रमपि स्थितस्य हि वयं व्याख्यामनुब्रूमहे ।। “Yet I will venture, wonder not at that; he still is here, and I but say after him what he teaches me."* In the beginning of his commentary, A commentary on the Bhayaharastotram of Ma No 232, on the Bhayabarastotra of Månatunga by Jinaprabha. natunga, Jinaprabha intimates that it is not his intention to give the vidyamantras, which I take to mean magical formulæ for acquiring knowledge, that have been extracted from the work by his predecessors. In the lines at the end the date is given in the following chronogram : संवद्विक्रमभूपतेः शरऋतूदर्चिसृगांकर्मिते that is, in Sarvat 1365-A.D. 1309. Jinaprabha was the pupil of śrî-Jinasimbasûri, and he wrote in the city Såketa, that is Oude. The Jagatsundariyoga The present copy of this work, No. 266, málâ of pandita éri-Hari- is only a collection of scattered leaves ; but shena. I have heard of a complete copy, which I hope to secure in the course of this year. Paņdita śri-Harisheņa wrote-in Saṁvat 1582, Śåka 1449=A.D. 1524 ; and his book appears to have been an attempt to reconstruct out of the writings of physicians of his own and of past times a chapter of a lost encylopædia, called * He being dead yet speaketh.-Heb. xi. 4.
