Subject. The text as before, with a commentary in Sankrit to elucidate it. In this commenarty an attempt has been made to prove that there are six kalyaṇakas2 for Lord Mahāvīra.
For a list of his works etc. see my edition of Anekārtharatnamañjūṣā published in D. L. J. P. F. Series as No. 81.
2 The question of the impropriety of believing six kalyanakas is recently discussed in Siddhacakra vol. III, No. 23; pp. 538-539
