श्रीमद्देवाचार्यवर्योक्तियुक्त्या स्याद्वादस्य प्रक्रियां वावदामि ॥5 His presentation of the subject of Nyāya in the form of poetry reveals him as a poet.
VI. During the forty-one years of his literary carrer Yaśasvat. sägara wrote many works. Fifteen of his works are known todate. They are: 1. Grahalāghavavärtika26, a commentary on Grahalāghava of
Gancșa, composed in V.S. 1760 (= 1704 A D.). 2. Jainataricabhāṣā, a work in Logic, composed in V.S. 1759 (=
1703 A.D.). 3. Jainīsaptapadārthi, an introductory text-book in Nyāya, com
posed in V.S. 1757 (= 1701 A.D.). Jinaratnakośa27 refers to this work as Saptapadārthi. JSSR8 refers to this work as Jaina Saptapadārthi. This work has been edited by Muni Himāmśuvijaya and published from Ujjain in 1934. According to the colophon of the manuscript ka printed as foot note no. 1 on p. 31 of the printed edition, the title of the work is Saptapadārthi, and the work was composed in V.S. 1758 at Samudayapura during the regin of Jayasimha. Probably, the author prefixed the word jainī to the title in order to distinguish his work from another homonymous work entitled Saptapadārthā,
a treatise of the Vaišeșika system by Śivāditya, a Hindu writer. 4. Pramanavādārtha, composed in V.S. 1759 (= 1703 A.D.).
According to JSSP9 this work was composed at Sangrāmapura during the reign of Jayasimha. Jinaratnakośa30, gives the
date of this work as V.S. 1758. 5. Bhāvasaptatikā, composed in V.S. 1740 (= 1684 A.D.). It
deals with Jyotişa. 6. Mānamañjarī. 7. Yasorājapaddhati, a work on Horoscopy, composed in V.S. 1762
(= 1706 A.D.). JSSP refers to this work as Yaśorājīrāja
paddhati. 8. Vädasamkhyā. 9. Vādārthanirupana.
25. Cf. Stanza 1 in the MSS. of Jainatarkabhäşä as quoted in the foot note at
JS p. 19. 26. This work is referred to as Grhalāghava in JS p. 20. This is, probably, the
printer's error. 27. Cf. p. 416. 28. Cf. p. 656, para 962. 29. Ibid. 30. C£. p. 269. 31. Cf. p. 656, para 962.
