INTRODUCTION
Jinadasa Mahattara He is one of the six well-known Mahattarasof olden days, the other five being Candrarşi, Della, Dharmasena, Govāliya and Sivacandra. Pradyumna Kşamāśramana is his vidyā-guru. If Uttarajjhayanacunni is definitely his work, he is one of the pupils of Govāliya Mahattara. I have nothing more to add to what I have said about his Cunnis in HCLJ (pp. 190–194).
Jinabhadra Ksamāsramana? Haribhadra has mentioned this name in his com. (p. 52) on Nandi. Amongst the Jainas Jinabhadra is well-known as * Bhāşyakára". He is an author of the following nine works :. . (1) Visesão, (2) its com., (3) Sangahaņi, (4) Khettasamāsa, (5) Visesaņavai*, (6) Jhāṇasaya, (7) Pannavaņācuņņi", (8) Jiyakappa' and (9) its "Bhāsa.
Jinavijaya in his intro. (p. 9) to Jiyakappa says that this Jinabhadra Gaņi Kșamāśramaņa is not perhaps the author of
1 For details about them 800 my article " Heat" to be published in
"Jaina Dharma prakása". Candraprabha Mahattere who composed Vijayacandacariya sometime between Sanvat 1127 and 1137 is not counted here. For three well-known Makettaris see my artiolo sigur G ETUP" published in JSP (No. 108), and for & ceremony pertaining to this padavī of Mahattarā' gee Vidhimärgaprapā
(pp. 71-74). 2 He is one of the 14 Kgamāśramanas, the remaining 13 being (a)
Jagavaddhaņa (vide DCJM, Vol. XVII, pt. 2, p. 33), (b) Dinna, (c) Dova, (d) Dovaddhi, (e) Desi, (€) Pradyumna, (g) Mallavādin, (h) Yakşadatta, (i) Sanghadāsa, (j) Simha, (k) Sidddasena (different from Siddhasena Divakara ), (1) Sthiragupta and (m) Himayanta. Of those all except the 1st and the 12th have been noted by me in my article " W HT" which gives some details about these saints and which is published in "Jaina dharma prakāśa" (Vol.
60, Nos. 8 & 12). 3 Haribhadra has used this designation in his com. (p.59) on Nandı. 4 In its v. 31 are mentioned Sánāiyacunni and Yasudevacariya. 5 In Anuogaddāracunni (p. 71 ) there is a specific mention of the
cunni on 'sarira-pada'. 6 From its v. 61 Muni Punyavijayaji has inferred that Jinabhadra
Gani is the author of Jiyakappabhāsa. 7 Herein we come across gāthas which fairly agree with those in
Kappabhāsa, Pañcakappabhāsa and Pindantjjutti. 8 Of these nine works Nos, 2 and 7 are not published,
