A. N. UPADHYE--An Old Prefatory Gloss on Istopadeśa. (Annals of the B. O. R. I.. XIII, I, Pp. 86-7, Poona, 1932).
A scrutinising study of Āsādhara's Sanskrit Commentary on the Iş topadeśa of Püiyapada leads us to the conclusion that Asadhara is not the first to write a commentary on that work and that he incorporated in his commentary some earlier gloss consisting of short prefatory statements possibly composed by Pujyapāda himself to make the context clear.
