Author of the text.- Sahasråvad hånin Munisundara Suri ( pupil
of Somasundara Súri of the Tapå gaccha ). For his works see p. 134. His life-period is noted as Samvat 1436-15032 by J. Klatt in his “ Extracts from the historical Records of the Jainas” published in the Indian Antiquary ( Vol. XI, p. 296). Peterson, Reports, IV, pp. 18, ito and 113 may be also consulted.
For names of 11 pupils of this Bhatýāraka' Muni
sundara Sûri see p. 13 of D. C. J. M. ( Vol. XVII, pt. 5). Author of the com.- Same as that of the text. Subject.- This work mainly divided into 3 books named as fatas
having as subdivisions amśas and tarangas, is a compendium of spiritual advice. The text is partly in Sanskrit and partly in verse and is elucidated by the author himself up to the 2nd book only, since, in his opinion, the 3rd needed no explanation. The author has quoted his own work 3Adhyātmakalpadruma. Out of the other works quoted by him Saivamukhavajrasuci and Samdehasamuccaya may be just mentioned.
