INTRODUCTION
( 36 ) नाणायतक, ( 42 ) पचलिङ्गी, ( 56 ) योगशतक and (71) श्रावकप्रज्ञप्ति. The late Pandit Hargovind Das has noted (25a) fo सूत्रावर, ( 41 ) पञ्चनियण्ठी and (81) सम्पश्वसित्तरी.
Of these I shall say a few words about Nos. 19, 38 & 51. (19) Nāṇapañcagavakkhāņa
This is a Paiya work. Its Samskṛta title is noted by several scholars as Jñānapañcakavivarana. It consists of 26 verses, and it deals with five types of knowledge. Verses 1 to 10 treat mati-jñāna, v. 11 to 18 sruta-jñāna, v. 19 to 22 avadhi-jñāna, v. 23 manaḥparyāya-jñāna, and v. 24-25 kevala-jñāna. The last verse mentions the subject and the author's name.
The entire work is incorporated by Samayasundara Upadhyaya in his Gāhāsahassi1 as v. 658-6832 on pp. 40-41. Its last verse runs as under:
“qaz ampi agamûvi azraci zfaci i छवीसागाहाहिं रइयं हरिभद्दसूरीहिं ॥"
In the work itself there is nothing whereby we can know which Haribhadra Suri is here referred to. Pandit Bechardas in his Gujarati intro. (p. 100) to Jaina Darsana has said that this Haribhadra is not the same as our author of AJP; but he has not given any reason for it. Hence I take it to be a work of some Haribhadra who must have flourished at least 200 years earlier than Samayasundara. This means that he may be any one of the following:
(1) The author of AJP, (2) pupil of Jinadeva (c. Samvat 1172), (3) Bṛhadgacchiya Haribhadra Suri who has commented upon Prasamarati in Samvat 1185, (4) the author of Candappahacariya and pupil of Śrīcandra Suri (e. Samvat 1216), (5) pupil of Abhayadeva Sūri and guru of Balacandra (Samvat 1277), (6) pupil of Bhadreśvara Sūri, (7) Kalikāla-Gautama Haribhadra Sūri, pupil of Ananda Sūri, (8) pupil of Manabhadra (c. Samvat 1393).
:
I About 700 verses are in Paiya while the rest are in Samskṛta. So I have given a Palya name to it. It is however designated by its author and others as Gāthāsahasri. It is composed in Samvat 1686.

Of these v. 664 is the same as v. 68 of Nandi and y, 662 as v. 84 and 670 as v. 88.
