INDEX OF AUTHORS.
converted (read "nirniya" for "nirmâya") Sâhi Mahammada "sakakulakshmâpâlachâdâmani," reigning at Delhi, by his Shaddarśanî. This sovereign must be Mohammed Toghlak, who reigned Samvat 1381-1407. Rajaśckhara, who was a pupil of our writer, based his Shaddarśanasamnohchaya on Jinaprabha's Shaddarśanî. 1, p. 92. (No. 1352 of this Report's Collection).
At Weber, II. p. 1085, there is a commentary on Jayakirti's Silovacsamâlâ by Somatilakasûri, pupil of Sanghatilakasûri, in the colophon of which our Jinaprabha is described as "sakakshitipabodhakṛit" (write so for "prabodhakṛit ").
Jinaprabha's date is, therefore, as Klatt has it, about Samvat
1400.
Jinaprabodha
Pupil of Jinesvara in the Kharatara gachchha. (Jineśvara and Jinaprabodha arc Nos. 47 and 48 with Klatt.) 3, App. p. 222. "Born, Samvat 1285: dîkshâ, Samvat 1296: when he received the name Prabodhamurti: padasthapana, Samvat 1331: died, Samvat 1341." Klatt. Kielhorn's No. 44 (PalmLeaf MSS.) is a copy of this writer's Panjikadurgapadaprabodha, a commentary on Trilochanadâsa's Katantravṛittivivaraṇapanjikâ. No. 748 of the India Office Collection is the same book (correct Eggeling's "Lesaprabodha"). The author is referred to there by his spiritual name Prabodhamûrti. See Klatt in his Onomasticon, where he notes also that Jinaprabodhasûri is mentioned in an inscription at Girnar in connection with the date Samvat 1333.
Jinabhakti sûri
Mentioned as the pupil of Jinasaukhyasûri and guru of Jinalabhasûri in the Kharatara gachchha. (These three writers are Nos. 66-8 with Klatt.) 3, App. p. 315. See under Jinalâbha. "Born, 1770: dîkshâ, Samvat 1779, when he received the name Bhaktikshema: sûripada, Samvat 1780: died, Samvat 1804." Klatt. He was made sûri then at the age of 10, and this is according to rule, eight years being the minimum required.
