so i.e. ‘apav ijjamta' i.e. not worth any mention in Jain literature. Such statements by crya V ra Sena also indicate prevalence of some differences in interpretation of Jain doctrine between guru-disciple duo of rya N gahasti and Mamk u.

verses.
After composing 72000 verses grand k named Dhaval on a khamd gama c rya V ra Sena then started composing k called Jayadhaval on Ka ya P huḍa by c rya V ra Sena. He had only composed 20000 verses of this k when he died. This was completed by his disciple c rya Jina Sena in aka 759 (Vikram 894).
It is a sheer coincidence that the three successive c ryas of Senaga a were all scholar monks and writers of holy texts. They used to complete the incomplete works of their teachers. c rya V ra Sena had just composed 20000 verses of Mah bandha when he died and then his disciple c rya Jina Sena added another 40000 verses to this incomplete work and completed the text. Similarly c rya Jina Sena had written only 42 sub section completely and three verses of the 43rd section out of 47 sections (with 12000 verses) of di Pur a and died. The remaining sections were then completed by his disciple c rya Gu a Bhadra who started writing the remaining four sections and 1620 verses as Uttarapur a after Mah pur a written by c rya Jina Sena. In this way Gu a Bhadra also completed the incomplete work his guru Sena.
