INTRODUCTION __"मंदमादियाणं एगवीसाए मुच्छणाण सरविसेसो पुव्वगते सरपाहुडे भणिओ। तन्निगतेषु य भरहविसाहलादिसु विष्णेओ इति ।" ।
Sarapāhuda is no doubt the name of a division of a Puvva. But are Bharaha' and `Visāhala' proper names of works? If so, does “Bharaha' stand for Bharata's Nātyaśāstrit and Visähala' for some work of Višākchala ?
On p. 100 two verses from some work of Puruşacandra', a fogician, are quoted. Besides these, there are several quotations in Sanskrta and Pâiya. Some of the Päiya passages tally with those in Aruoguldārccunni.
(8) Āvas'yakasūtrabrhadvrtti The extent of this work is inentioned as 84,000 slokas in Ancalagacchapattāvali. That this work was certainly bigger than Sisyahita, the other com, on Avassayc composed by Haribhadra, is supported by this very Sosyahitci. Moreover, it is referred to by Maladhārin Henacandra in leis ?ippanako (p. 2a) to Āvassayu and by Sarayasundara Upadhyāya in his Sīrucccīributika composed in Samruut 1681. From the Tippanaku, it appears that this big com. was unavailable in the time of Maladhārin Hemacandra (cir. Sarıval 1164).
(9) Āvas'yakasūtravivrti or S'isyahitā
This is a com, on Āvassuya and its nijjutti, and is desig. nated by Haribhadra xs Sisyahilii. Its extent is about 2,500 slokas. It is preceded by at least two commentaries. One of them is by Haribhadra himself but now lost to us and another by Jinabhata whose com. has been utilized by Haribhadra in case the phrase 'RAHATTIERIRU:' occurring in the colophon of this Sisyahita is so interpreted, and which, too, seems to be extinct. The available com. is smaller than the one lost as can be inferred from its v. 2. One of these probably the bigger one is referred to by him as Avašyakaviścsavivarana in his coin. (pp. 2b-4b) on Dasaveyaliya. .. Sisyahitü contains elucidation of Thünciscuya (Sk. Dhyandsataka) of Jinabhadra Gaņi which is mentioned by Haribhadra in his com. (pp. 322-32b) on Dasarcyūliya. In Sisyahitā
