INDEX OF AUTHORS.
Manatunga sûri
Author of the Siddhajayantîcharitra. 3, App. p. 37. With the commentary of his pupil Malayaprabha, written in Samvat 1260. Malayaprabha gives the following account of the spiritual lineage of his teacher Mânatunga :
In the Prâgvâțânvaya there arose the famous gachchha known as the Vata or Vrihad gachchha (compare Klatt, Ind. Ant. XI. p. 253). The root as it were of this gachchha
tree was-
(1) Sarvadeva. This is No. 36 of the Tapâ gachchha with Klatt. The next name is perhaps not given as that of his immediate successor, but of one who sat in his seat some time after.
(2) Jayasinha. He had three pupils.
(3) Chandraprabha, Dharmaghosha, and 'Silagana. The Pûrnimâ gachchha began with these three.
Our author received dikshâ from 'Silagana. In Bhandarkar's Report, 1883-84, p. 147, the four co-teachers who founded the Purnimâ gachchha are given as Chandraprabha, Munichandra, Mânadeva and Sânti. This enables us to identify our Mânatunga with the teacher of that name to whose pupil Pradyumnasûri, the copy of Hemachandra's Yogaśâstravivarana, which is No. 36 of the Cambay Palm-Leaf MSS., 1, App. p. 22, was presented in Samvat 1292. The spiritual lineage of that Mânatunga is given there as follows-Mânadeva, Mânatunga and Buddhisâgara were famous teachers in the Chandra kula. The descent of the second Mânatunga from Buddhisâgara is thus given:
(1) Buddhisâgara. (2) Pradyumnasûri. (3) Devachandra.
