Kumudacandra alias Siddhasena Diväkara'. For further details see Vol. XVII, pt. 5, p. 17 and Vol. XVIII, pt. 1, pp. 39 & 209.
Subject. A hymn glorifying Lord Parsva, the 23rd Tirthankara of the Jainas. It consists of 44 verses in Sanskrit, which are very beautiful. Both the sects of the Jainas, Švetämbara and Digambara, attach a very great importance to this magnificent work. Further, both these sects claim this work as their own but I for one believe that it is really a work of the Svetambara sect.
