1. Praudhmanorama of Bhattoji himself (Nos. 5559-92). Two commentaries on it are available here, Sabdaratna (Nos. 5593-5598 and 5658) and Kalpalata. The former is by Haridikaita, grandson of Bhattoji dikaita. There is no evidence to show the correctness of Dr. Belvalkar's remark that its real author was Nagesa, the famous pupil of Haridikaita and that he attributed it, in reverence, to his preceptor.
