________________ * Sanskrit didactic works are ample in this century. * Works pertaining to Sravakacara are very few in this century. Subhavardhanagani presented Sravakacara through his Dasasravakacarita in Jaina Maharastri. Savayadhammadoha of Laksmicandra is the first work pertaining to Sravakacara in Apabhraisa. * The Vratakathas and Vratakathakosas are written mostly by Digambara authors of this century in Apabhraisa. * Srutasagara, a Digambara author mentions himself as 'Desayati'. He produced a vast literature which contains mostly commentarial and biographical works. * Small treatises pertaining to various ritualistic and ethical subjects are very peculiar of this century, viz. Danaprdipa, Danakalpadruma, Pratikramanavidhi and Saptavyasanakatha. * To sum up, we can say that Prathamanuyoga or Kathanuyoga literature is the speciality of this century. But one more thing is remarkable that Jaina author's attention was attracted towards non-Jaina classical Skt. literature. They produced a lot of imitative and commentarial works and very few works among them acquired important position in the history of Skt. literature. **************************************************************************************************** *********
