VI] THE CANONICAL EXEGETICAL LITERATURE
199 Sricandra Sūri, pupil of Silabhadra Sūri has written a com,
Visīharischacunni (XX) in Samvat 1174. According to Mr. M. D. Desai, he is not a pupil but a grand-pupil. He takes him to be the author of (i) the com. on Samanovāsagap adikkama? composed in Samvat 1222, (ii) Nandidurgapadavyākhyā composed in Samvat 1226, (iii) the com. on Jiyakappacuņņi composed in Samvat 1227, and (iv-viii) the commentaries on Uvangas VIIIXII composed in Samvat 1228.
Yaśodeva Sūri, pupil of Śricandra Eūri, pupil of Vira Gani has commented upon Pakkhiyasutta in Samvat 1180.
Śrītilaka Sūri, pupil of sivaprabha Sūri has written a com. on rīvassaya in Samvat 1296.
Kșernakīrti has completed Malayagiri Sūri's com. on Kappa in Samvat 1332.
So far as Païnnagas are concerned, only a few are commented upon. For instance, Bhuvanatunga Sūri' has commented upon Caiisurana, Airapaccakkhāna and Santhāraga, Gunaratna upon Bhattapparinnā and Santhāraga’ and Vijayavimala upon Tandulaveyāliya and Gacchācāra.?
There are several commentaries on Jambuildīvapannutti. Out of them one is composed by Hiravijaya Sūri in Samvat 1639 and another named as Prameyaratnamañjüşā by Sānticandra Guņi in Samvat 1650.
Over and above these tīkās on the Agamas there are some more. For instance, in Samvat 15724(?) Jinahamsa has written a com. on Ayāra, and in Samvat 1583, Harşakula on Süyagada. Further there are Lakşmikallola Gaņi's com. on Ayāra, Dānasekhara Sūri's com. on Viāhapannatti, Vinayahaṁsa's com. on Uttarajjhayana etc. Besides these there are some anonymous avacūrnis and avacūris, toos. Thus it will be seen that a very great no. of 1 He is a pupil of Mahendra Sūri who revised in Samvat 1294 his guru
Dharmaghosa Sūri's Satapadi. 2 A com. on this was composed before Samvat 1484. 3 The com. on it was composed in Samval 1634. 4 According to Jaina Granthāvali (p. 2) this should be 1582. 5 See D. C. JM. (vol. XVII, ple. I-III).
