CRITICAL APPARATUS III संवत् 1603 वर्षे शाके 1467 प्रवर्तमाने महामाङ्गल्यआषाढमासे कृष्णपक्षे द्वितीयातिथौ उत्तराषाढनक्षत्रे तैतलकरणे श्रीमूलसंघे नंद्याम्नाये बलात्कारगणे सरस्वतीगच्छे श्रीकुन्दकुन्दाचार्यान्वये भट्टारकश्रीपद्मनंदिदेवास्तत्पट्टे भट्टारकश्रीशुभचन्द्रदेवास्तत्पट्टे भट्टारकश्रीजिनचन्द्रदेवास्तत्प? भट्टारकश्रीप्रभाचन्द्रदेवारतत्-शिष्यमंटलाचार्य-श्रीधर्मचन्द्रदेवास्तदाम्नाये तक्षकपुरवास्तव्ये सोलंकीराजाधिराज-राजश्रीरामचन्द्रराज्ये श्रीआदिनाथचैत्यालये खंडेलवालान्वये बाकुलीवालगोत्रे सा. पाल्हा तद्भार्या गौरी तत्पुत्र सा. न्येमा ( family details ) एतेषां मध्ये सा. नेता भार्या लाझमदे तृतीय सा. ठाकुरभार्या दाडिमदे तया इदं शास्त्रं पञ्चमीव्रत-उद्योतनार्थ लिखापितं धर्मचन्द्राय दत्तं / शानवान् शानदानेन, etc. From this we learn that the MS. was completed on the 2nd of the dark fortnight of Asadha. in Samvat 1603, Saka 1467, equivalent to 1546 A.D. It was copied for a layman of Baklaivala family of the Khandelavala caste, a resident of Taksakapura ( Taxila ), in the kingdom of the Solamki king Ramacandra. He had for his spiritual guidance, the following line of teachers :-- Mulasamgha, Nandi-amnaya Balatkaragana, Sarasvatigaccha, Kundakundanyaya Padmanandi Subhacandra Jinacandra Prabhacandra Dharmacandra ( To whom the MS. was presented ). It will be seen that this carries the line given in the colophon of MS. C, two successions further. The MS. agrees in its peculiarities with A and bears glosses like it on the margin. But it has all those additional lines that are found in E. These are mostly given in the margin. It even gives a few lines peculiar to it alone. MS. E. This MS. is deposited in Baba Dulicanda's Bhandara in Jaipur and belongs to that section of the collection which was acquired from Sarganer Bhandara. Leaves 55; size 101/ "X41/4"; lines per page vary from 13 to 15; letters per line about 35. It bears the following colophon : सं० 1519 जेष्ठ वदि 12 चंद्रे // आदौ // जेष्ठ सुदि 5 // गुरौ संपूर्ण भवत् // वागर देसे। झंझणग्रामनगा श्रीआदीश्वरवरचैत्यालये। सरस्वतीगच्छे श्रीमूलसंघे लंवेचू बुढेले गोत्रे लिखितं पंडित सा. महराज चौधरी सा. भीषमसुत / कर्मक्षयनिमित्तं // संकोडियकरचरणा, etc. From this we learn that the MS. was begun on the 12th of the dark fortnight and completed on the 5th of the bright fortnight of Jyestha in Samvat 1519, equivalent to 1462 A. D. in the Adisvara temple at Jhunajhunu in Vagara country, by one Pandit Maharaja Caudhari son of Bhisama, of Vuchele family of Lamvecu caste. This MS. is the most interesting of all, as it is the oldest and has many features that distinguish it from the rest. 1. It has ण instead of न throughout. 2. It shows a great partiality for sin preference to g in the absolute forms and the seventh case-ending e.g. वंदिवि, सुणिवि, चित्ति, मज्झि, etc. P.P.AC. Gunratnasuri M.S. Jun Gun Aaradhak Trust
