________________ Introduction the great learning and scholarship of the author, and his mastery over the Jaina Philosophy. * (4) A fourth feature is the introduction of the sermons through the mouth of Gautamswami, Munichanda and other sages which feature is found in Kummaputta also with equal success and effect. (5) The fifth feature is the use of difficult stanzas at random in the text, which contain the descriptions of countries and cities, the description of the marriage ceremony of Surasundari, the prayer-song to Lord Rsbha by Mayanasundari, etc. In Kummaputta we get one or two such descriptions but they are not so remarkable. (6) The sixth more important and highly oreditable feature is the descriptior of the Recitation Rite of the Siddhachakrayantra (Sts. 196 to 206), which, as the author says, has been extracted from the Tenth Purva called Vidyanuvada, and thus saved from oblivion. * These various terms require fairly long explanations and they are given in the notes on the Sts. wherein they ocour. For further details on the Siddhachakrayantra and its Recitation Rite refer to the notes on Sts. 196 to 206.
