at whose request the latter wrote the commentary on Karttikeyanupreksha (cf. above), as is expressed by the following verses of the prasasti ol the latter work :
तेन श्रीशुभचन्द्रेण त्रैविद्येन गणेशिना । कार्तिकेयानुप्रेक्षाया वृत्तिविरचिता वरा ॥ ८ ॥ तथा साधुसुमत्यादि कीर्तिना कृतप्रार्थना । सार्थीकृता समर्थेन शुभचन्द्रेण सूरिणा ॥ ९॥ भट्टारकपदाधीशा मूलसंघे विदांवराः । रमावीरेन्दु चिद्रूपगुरवोहि गणेशिनः ॥ १० ॥ लक्ष्मीचन्द्रगुरुस्वामी शिष्यस्तस्य सुधीयशाः । वृत्तिविस्तारिता तेन श्री शुभेन्दुप्रसादतः ॥ ११ ॥

Though he succeeded Virachandra in the pontifical seat he may have been another disciple of I.akshinichandra. Subhachandra avoided to mention him by Dame probably because )buabhushana also happened to be the name of his spiritual predecessor, who was the author of Tattva-jinanatarangini.
Sakalabhāshana composed Upadesa-ratnamala In V.S. Sakalabhūshaga. 1627. on Sravana Sukla 6. His spiritual
genealogy is as follows: Padmanandi
Sakalakirtti
Bhuvanakirtti
