INDEX OF AUTHORS.
When these sages had become but a name there arose in the
same gachchha :
(1) Bhadresvara. (2) Dêvabhadra. (3) Siddhasena. (4) Yasodêva:
(5) Mânadêra.
(6) Ratnaprabha. (7) Dêvaprabha.
Devaprabha sûri (Maladharin)
Author of the Pandavacharitra. Devaprabha gives his spiritual lineage as follows.
In the Kotika gana, Madhyama sâkhâ, Sripraśnavâhana kula, Harshapuriya gachchha, there arose :
(1) Abhayadevasûri. (2) Hemasûri.
A contemary of Siddharaja.
(3) Vijayasinhasûri.
(4) Chandrasûri.
(5) Munichandrasûri.
Our author, Devaprabhasûri, was one of the disciples of Munichandrasûri. That teacher's successor was, however,
(6) Devânandasûri.
Yasobhadra and Narachandra corrected the Pândavacharitra for Devaprabha. 3, App. p. 131; 1, App. p. 98; 3, App p. 275, where Devaprabha is called the "kramika" of Munichandrasûri, and is succeeded by Narachandra. A Mṛigâvaticharitra by Maladhâridevaprabhâchârya is among the books bought for Government this year.
Devaprabhu (Devaprabha ?)
Mentioned as the guru of Padmaprabha who wrote the Munisuvratacharitra in Samvat 1294. 3, p. 14, App. p. 302. The relations between Devânanda on the one hand, and Devaprabha, Vibudhaprabha and Padmaprabha on the other are not clear; but the three latter are not the pupils of Devânanda. Perhaps Devânanda was succeeded by the twin-pupils, Devaprabha and Vibudhaprabha, and they by Padmaprabha.
