See the German Review of D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pts. I and II) published in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung (1937, Nr. 3, p. 185). Here it is said that Divasāgarapannattisangahani is a part of Jivābhigama. See D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pt. 1). See my article entitled "Methods adopted by Jaina writers for recording their names and those of their Gurus in the works composed by them” and published in The Annals of B. (. R. 1. (vol. XVII, pt. I, pp. 84-86). That the author of this work is Virabhadra is suggested in its com. See D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pt. I, pp. 276-278).
