Bhadrabahusvamin according to the vṛtti on Dharmaghosa's Rṣimandalastotra etc. Jarl Charpentier does not endorse this opinion especially because he says that in v. 110 Sthulabhadra, the successor of Bhadrabāhusvāmin is styled as bhagavam-Thulabhaddo and such a thing cannot have been said by his far older predecessor Bhadrabahusvamin. For other objections raised by him see pp. 48 and 49 of the introduction to Uttaradhyayanasutra.
Subject. A commentary in verses in Prakrit, elucidating Uttaradhyayanasútra. From the two verses of Avaśyakasūtraniryukti we learn that this is the 3rd niryukti out of ten.
1 For the meaning of the word nijjutti' see my article "The Jaina Commentaries" (pp. 295-296) published in the "Annals of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute" (vol XVI, pts. III-IV).
