Bhadreśvara sûri
Mentioned as the guru of Devabhadra in the Chandra gachchha. Bhadreśvara and Devabhadra arose in that gachchha when the older sûris Nanna, Amitayasiḥ, Sarvadeva and Pradyumna had become only a memory. 3, App. p. 87. Devabhadra was succeeded by Siddhasena. At Weber, II. p. 850, there is a commentary on the Pravachanasâroddhara which was composed by this Siddhasena in Samvat 1242: Siddhasena gives his lineage as follows:(1) Abhayadeva. This is the Abhayadeva of the Raja
gachchha. See that entry. (2) Dhanesvarasûri. A contemporary of king Munja: (3) Ajitasinha. (4) Vardhamana. 5) Devachandra: (6) Chandraprabha.
Bhadreśvara. (Our author.) 8) Ajitasinha. 9) Devabhadra. Called in our passage the pupil of
Bhadreśvara. (10) Siddhasena. At 3, App. p. 101, Balachandra, author of a commentary on Asada's Vivekamanjarî, tells us that Asada, who wrote in Samvat 1248, was the pupil of Abhayadeva; who was the pupil of Bhadreśvara, who was the pupil of Devendra. Asada (S. 1248) then is third from Bhadreśvara, and Siddhasena (S. 1242) is third or fourth. The dates agree, but the name of Bhadreśvarasûri's guru is different in the two lists. (At 3, p. 39, I have wrongly transferred the epithets for Devendra in the passage to his pupil Bhadreśvara). Bhadreśvara, the guru of Abhayadeva, is mentioned by Paramânanda, pupil of Abhayadeva, who, however, inserts a Santisûri between Bhadreśvara and Abhayadeva. 3, App. p. 7.
Bhadreśvara sûri.
Mentioned as papil, along with Ratnaprabhasûri of Devasûri the contemporary of king Jayasinha. Ratnaprabhasari wrote his commentary on the Upadeśamâlâ of Dharmadasagaại to please his fellow-pupil in Samvat 1238. 3, App. p. 167. May be the same as the last.
