INTRODUCTION
.(x) Ugrāditya in his Kalyjānakäraku (XX, 85') refers to
Siddhasena as one who dealt with the science of the pacification of terrible planets and that of nullification of poison?. He uses the adjective 'prasiddha' for him. Does he thereby refer to this Siddhasena Diväkara ?
: Pramānamīmūriusā. This work is mentioned in AJP (Vol. II, p. 68) and in its $vo paña com. (P.68). In the text Haribhadra refers to its author as his guy. But that this is not to be taken literally becomes clear from its com. ; for, there he explains guru as 'pūrvācārya'. We are in the dark about this Acarya and his work. Was this work actually available to Kalikālasarvajňa Hemacandra Sūri or did he know its naine only when he designated one of his works as Praminamīnāmsc?
Priyadarsan As already noted on n. XIV, this is a drama of which the authorship is attributed to Harsa, a king. Ratnāvali and Nâgānanda are also said to be his works. Priyadarsand agrees with Katnávali as regards the general conception of the theme and the method of its development. Moreover, these Natikos resemble each other in ideas and situation. Hence they are designated as sister-plays by scholars.
Yoganirnaya This work is mentioned in the following lines occurring in the author's own com. (p. 3) on Yogadrstisamuccaya :.."yout 3 H-neseno WHIT-679, facerdos e gato चायरेवायमुक्तोऽप्युत्तराध्ययन-योगनिर्णयादिषु."

"app quanrama VESTI 17T
स्वामिप्रोक्तं विषोग्रग्रहशमनविधिः सिद्धसेनैः प्रसिद्धः। कावे या सा चिकित्सा दशरथगुरुभिर्मेघनादैः शिशूनां
वैध वृष्यं च दिव्यामृतमपि कथितं सिंहनादेर्मुनीन्दैः॥ ८५॥" These sciences seem to allude to ogadatantra' and bhutavidya', the two angas of Ayurveda, out of eight. This is named as Priyadarsana by its editor Prof. N. G, Saru. It is translated into Gujaräti by K, H, Dhruva and nained Ag «Vindhya vanani Kanyakä kimya Priyadarsana". The latter Dame is correct, the former having been coined.
