1 These two very Tirthamkaras are also glorified by Jinavallabha Suri (died in 1110 A. D.) in the Ullāsikkamathaya also called Ajita- śāntilaghustavana, by Vira Gani in the Ajiya-Santi-thaya in Prakrit and by Jayasekhara in the Ajitaśänti-stava in Sanskrit. The late Prof. Winternitz in his work entitled "A History of Indian Literature" (vol. II, p. 554) observes :
“ As late as in the 16th century śānticandra Ganin imitated Nandişena in his . Rşabha-Stava, perhaps also in his Ajita-Sānti-Stava ”.
