14. Prašasti p. 226 no. 834. Upadešacintāmani with a vrtti. Copied by Bhāvasekhara Gani, pupil of Vivekasekhara Gani, at Añjara on 5 November 1660 during the rule of Kalyānasāgara.
These 14 manuscripts establish the fact that Kalyāṇasāgara was the head of the Ancalagaccha for about 50 years; nos. 3. 4, and 11 further confirm his interest (and that of the Ancalagaccha) in jyotiḥśāstra. The scribe of nos. 13 and 14, Bhāvašekhara Gani, copied another manuscript of the Sripatipaddhati with Sumatiharsa's Subodha in the LD Institute (891) for Bhuvanasekhara, the scribe of no. 11, at Sivapurinagara in 1693.
The next pādas extol Sumatiharşa's guru, Harṣaratna, as a teacher of astronomy (sidhānta) and mathematics (pātiganita) and as the commentator on, among other, unnamed works, the Brahmatulya or Karanakutūhala of Bhaskara. Unfortunately, no copy of the commentary has yet been located, nor is any other work of Harsaratna known to be extant.
Finally, Sumatiharsa states that he completed his vrtti on the Sripatipaddhati at Padmavati on 6 October 1616. This Padmavati probably the same as that in which Dhanarāja wrote, as we shall see shortly; it has been identified with Puşkara Dear Ajmer). The epithet śrīmatpārsvasivaprasattinibhṛtā makes one think it possible that Padmavati is Vindhyávali (modern Bijaulia) on the Revā River in the Ūparamāla range between Chitor and Bundi; for it was a center of the worship of Pārsvanātha and of Siva,' but so also was Puşkara. More will be said of this below.
III. The Karika, a tikä on the Tajikasāra composed by Haribhadra or Haribhatta, apparently in 1523. I have used manuscript 2541C of the India Office Library; the following edition of the final verses is based on that manuscript together with others at Gottingen (Kielhorn 121) and the LD Institute (6664):
