Reference - Published with an Introduction, Glossary and notes by Dr. P. L. Vaidya, in the Karanja Jain Series Vol. I, where it is named as जसहर चरिउ. This very MS. is utilized for the critical apparatus of this work but the no. there given is 1192 of 1891–95, which seems to be incorrect, since the colophon etc. tallies.
