and is known as bịhadbhāṣya. It, too, is, however a metrical composition in Prākrit elucidating Bịhatkalpasūtra. Since this bhāşya has been composed after laghubhașya of Sanghadāsa Gani, it is styted as bịhadbhäșya so that it may be distinguished from the former. Even the cũrņi and
višeşacúrni have been composed prior to this bịhadbhâșya. Begins. fol. 5 & OIL ID PHÌ FATT I
