SYADVADAMUKTAVALI OR JAINAVIŠEŞATARKA
10. Vicāraşaţtrimśikāvacūri, composed in V.S. 1721 (= 1665 A.D.).
JSS12 mentions (1712?) as the doubtful date.
11. Sabdärthasumbandha, composed in V.S. 1758 (= 1702 A.D.). 12. Samāsasobha. 13. Stavanaratna.
14. Syädvādamuktāvali-This work has been edited (not on critical
principles) by Muni Buddhisāgara and published at Ahmedabad in V.S. 1965 (= 1909 A.D.33), Muni Buddhisāgara has earned gratitude of all, by bringing into light a work by Yaśasvatsāgara for the first time. The title in the printed book reads Śrī Jaina Syādvādamuktavali. It is difficult to guess any convincing reason
for the addition of the word jaina in the title by the editor. 15. Syūdvädamuktāvali (or Jainaviseşatarka), critically edited and
published herewith.
The manuscripts of the works bearing nos. 5, 7, 9, 10 and 13 are available in the collection at the Jati Motivijayaji's upāśraya at Udayapura and of the works bearing nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12 and 14 are in Sri Vijayadharmalakṣmi Jñāna Mandir at Agra.34 JSSI: refers to only nine works bearing nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 and states that the manuscripts of the first eight works are available in the collection of Yati Vivekavijaya at Udayapura. Jinatatnakośa36 records only eight works bearing nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 14 and 15.
Of these fifteen works, only three works (including the work edited herewith) are published. From the evidence of language and treatment of the subject, the chronological order of these three works may tentatively be fixed as: Syādvādamuktāvali publishat Ahmedabad in 1909, (2) Syādvādamuktāvali or Jainaviseşatarka, edited herewith and (3) Jaini Saptapadārthi, published at Ujjain, 1934. .
· Besides, in V.S. 1721, he composed a prasasti in five stanzas, after having himself written a manuscript of Kalpasūtra with the commentary Kiraṇāvali of Dharmasāgaragani.37
32. Cf. p. 656, para 962. Prof. Kapadia, H.R. (in his article: śri Yašasvatsägara
ane Syâdvādamuktavali (in Gujarati) published in Sri Jaina Satya Prakaśa, vol. 3, No. 9, p. 327-29) states that it is yet to be decided whether the avacūri
on Vícarasattriṁsikă was composed in V.S. 1812 or V.S. 1721. The source of . V. S. 1812 is not traceable. Is it a printing mistake for V. S. 1712? 33. The printing of this work is far from satisfactory. Printing mistakes are cor
rected in the quotations from this text in the article. 34. Cf. JS p. 20. . 35. Cf. JSSI P. 656, para 962.
