No. 681
1094, 1887-91.
Size.- 104 in. by 41 in. Extent.— 13 folios ; 17 lines to a page ; 52 letters to a line, Description.- Country paper thin, rough and greyish ; Jaina Deva
nāgari characters; small, legible and fair hand-writing; borders ruled in two lines; yellow pigment and red chalk used; numbers for foll. entered only once, and that, too, in the right-hand margin ; some of the foll, slightly worm
eaten; condition good; complete ; 600+4=604 verses in all, Age.- Pretty old. Author.- Bhadrabāhusvåmin according to the vștti on Dharma
ghoşa's Rşimandalastotra etc. Jarl Charpentier does not endorse this opinion especially because he says that in v. IIO Sthūlabhadra, the successor of Bhadrabāhusvāmin is styled as bhagavam-Thūlabhaddo ? and such a thing cannot have been said by his far older predecessor Bhadrabāhusvāmin. For other objections raised by him see pp. 48 and 49 of the introduction to Uttaradhyayanasūtra.
Subject.- A commentary in verses in Prākrit, elucidating Uttarā.
dhyayanasūtra. From the two verses 3 of Avaśyakasūtraniryukti we learn that this is the 3rd niryukti out of ten.
