INTRODUCTION
(d) Rajasekhara's Prabandhakosa, written in samvat 1405
= 1349 A.D. I know only some extracts of this
work given by Kalyāņavijaya l.o. p. 88, 24a. " (2) Sumatigaņi's Vștti of the Canadharasārdha-bataka (see
b.), finished samvat 1295 = 1239 A.D., occasionally referred to by Kalyanavijaya. An abridgement of Sumatigani's narrative is given in the Laghuvștti
Sarvarājagaņi, see A. Weber, 1.c. p. 988. . . (1) Kathavali of Bhadresvara, date unknown; mentioned by
Jinavijaya and not otherwise known to me. : I shall now discuss some traditions about particulars of Haribhadra's life which may be regarded as substantially ttue.
The birth place of Haribhadra was, according to a, c, de, Citrakūta, the modern Chitor. The ancient fort on the rest of the hill' was the capital of Mewar from about the 7th century till 1569 when the seat of government was moved to Udaipur. Haribhadra probably lived in Chitor up to his initiation. But the stene of his later life as a monk seems to have been chiefly the neighbouring parts of Rājputana and the kingdom of Guzerat. In that country, he became the teacher of Uddyotana. Another indication of Haribhadra's activity in Guzerat is furnished by the annals of Jaina families ;, for ac. cording to Kalyāņavijaya (1.c., p. 7b), thoy assert that Haribhadra organized the clan of the Porevals (Poruyada, Prāgvāta) and converted them to Jainism. Now we learn from the Neminahacariu 8 that the Poreval clan originated in Srimäld,4 that a.war.
The phrase inp: Sricitraküfacalacúläniväsino clearly refers to the ancient town on the hill.
The verses 4 and 6 in the passage quoted from the Kuvalayamala by Jinavijaya (l.c,p. 15), provo that Uddyotana belonged to a line of yatis that flourished in Guzerat. .
See my edition of the Sanatkunfracaritam' in the Abhandlungen der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Munchen, 1921, p. 102, VIII-V, and the additional noto on p. VI. ib.. .
The modern Bhinmal in the extreme south of Marved. Uddyotanasūri, 1.o., 'named the town Siribhillamala. It was the capital of Guserat before the foundation of Anahillapaitaka by Vanaraja, the first of the Capotkata or Cavada kings.
