(5a) Anekāntasiddhi From AJP (Vol. I, p. 263 ) it appears that this is a work of Haribhadra with the line argit quoted from it. If so, it can be inferred that this work is in Saṁskrta in prose and that it establishes anekānta.
(7) Aştaka prakaraņa This work is designated by the author himself as Astakaprakarana. It deals with 32 astakas?. Each of them except the last consists of 8 verses, and the last has 10 verses. Only the first 16 astakas have each a significant title. Of them Atmanityavādāştakot, Kșanikavādāstaka and Nityānityaştako may be here noted.
This work has been commented upon by Jineśvara Sūri in Samvat 1080. The Paiya portion occurring in this com. has been rendered into Saṁskrta by his disciple Abhayadeva Sūri. The text together with the com. and the Saṁsksta rendering was published by the late Mansukhbhai Bhagubhai, Ahmedabad.
(7a) Atmasiddhi This work is referred to in AJP (Vol. II, p. 218). As its title suggests, it must be dealing with the establishment of the soul.
(11) Uvaësapaya This is a work in Pāīga in 1039 verses in Arya. It is mainly related with dharmakathānuyoga". It points out, by means of the ten well-known illustrations, the immense difficulty one experiences in securing a birth as a human being. This is followed by the topic viz. the study of the Jaina scriptures. Then we have a detailed exposition of the four types of intelligence and subsequently the treatment about the method of receiving and imparting religious instruction. The essence of this entire work is beautifully and briefly set forth by Nyäyācārya Yaśovijaya Gaņi in his Uvaësarahassa.
Uvuësapayo is alluded to, in Lalitavistarā (see p. 18b). Some of its verses are mere reproductions from other works
1 There &re 8 aşta kas in Rg-veda and 3 in Taittirāya Brāhmana, 2 For its explanation etc. see HCLJ (p. 11, 12, 53 and 169).
