INTRODUCTION
From this one may be inclined to infer that Yoganirnaya is a Jaina work. Further, one may be tempted to believe that the subject of eight drstis must have been treated in Uttarajjlayana though, in it (as it is available to day) this subject is not dealt with. But this view is not correct; for, there is no ground to infer that this work has not remainedi n tact. So the word 'yoga' may be interpreted as one associated with 5 samitis and 3 guptis, & topic dealt with in Uttarajjhayana.
Revanāikavur This is mentioned in Dhanumasangahani (v. 1159 ) to illustrate that what is composed by a man-in-the street is not an authority. Malayagiri explains it as a kávya composed hy Revana and others. Who this Revana is is not known.
Vīkyapadiya This is a Samskyta work composed by Bharthari, a great grammarian. The title “Vâkyapadiya' applies both to the text and the urtti written by the author himself as is the case with Kavycinusāsana of Kalikālasarvajna Hemacandra Sūri. The text which is in the form of kūrikäs is divided into three sections (kāndas): (i) Brahma-kända, (ii) Pacima-kında and (iii) Prakirņa-kānda. Tiiis complete text has been published from Benares with the com. on the first two kundast and that of Helarājar on the last. The com. on the 1st kända is wrongly ascribed to Punyarāja. So says Dr. C. K. Raja in his paper “I-tsing and Bhartphari's Vákyapadiya" He says that it is the urtti (com.) by the author himself. So it means that the com. on the 2nd kanda only is by Punyarāja. This gets corroborated by Nāgeśa, a grammarian; for, in his Lagusiddhantamañjūşā he quotes from Bhartrhari's com, on his kārikuīs, and while so doing he refers to this com. as Harigrantha' i. e. the work of Bhartrhari. There is a Ms. containing a good portion of the vrtti on the second kanda by the author himself in the Government Oriental Mss. Library, Madras (No. R5543). In this Library there is also a Ms. of Vrsabhadeva's com.“ on
1 This is published in 1884 A. D. 28 No. 11 in Benares Sanskrit Series. 2 This is published in 1905 A. D. as No 95 of Benares Sanskrit Series. 3 This paper has been published in the “Dr. S. Krisnaswami
Aiyyangar Commemoration Volume" (1936 A. D.). 4 Bhartrari's avopajña vrtti along with Vrsabhadeva's com, is edited
by Cārudeva Sastri, and it is published from Lahore.
