etc. here); Alapapaddhat of Devasena (cf. pp. 162, 156 etc. with pp. 160, 179 etc. here); Dravyasamgraha with the Sanskrit com, of Brahmadeva (cf. the com. on gathas 16, 18, 48, 57 etc. with pp. 140, 147, 361, also 383, 392); Caritrasara of Camundaraya (cf. pp. 35, 59, 60 etc. with pp. 300, 330, 340 etc. here); Śrutasagara's Sanskrit commentary on the Tattvartha-sutra (ef. pp. 249, 285, 320, 812-13 etc, with pp. 241, 304-5, 386, 337-9 etc. here). It is quite likely that Subhacandra has used many other texts like the Karmaprakṛti, Trailokyasara etc. for his contents; and it is possible to study such contexts easily from the quotations which are separately listed, with or without the names of authors or works.
INTRODUCTION
iii) Some Works and Authors mentioned by Subhacandra
Some of the references of Subheandro
carlier enthors and works need a little observation. Among the works mentioned by him, the Karmaprakrti (p. 386) may be an unpublished text of that name.
The Aradhanāsāra of Ravicandra (pp. 234, 391) is not published, but half a dozen Mss. of it (one with a Kannada commentary) are reported. It is a small text in Sanskrit. Another work Gandharvaradhand is mentioned (p. 392). This is referred to by Brahmadeva in his Sanskrit commentary on the Dravyasamgraha (gatha 57), and possibly this very source is being followed by Subhacandra. But as yet no Ms. of it has come to light. The reference to Nayacakra (p. 200 ), a Sanskrit text, stands for the Älāpapaddhati of Devasena in which the sentence quoted is traced (p. 166).

3) In my paper Subhacandra and his Prakrit grammar, Annals of the B. O. R. I., XIII, 1, p. 52, I could not he definite about the relative age of Srutasagara and Subhaandra. It is obvious now that Subbacandra is quoting from the commentary of Srutasagara: so the latter is an elderly oontemporary of the former. It is clear from the details brought to light in the Bhattaraka Sainpradaya that Śrutasagara was a pupil of Vidyanandi (A. D. A. D. 1442-1480) a dharma-bhrata of Mallibhusana (A. D. 1487-1498) and was honoured by Lakṣmioandra (A. D. 1499-1525) who were the Bhattarskas of the Surat branch. Major works of Sratasagara, especially the Tattavartha-vṛtti, were ready by A. D. 1525, and naturally it could be drawn upon by Subhanandra who completed his K.-Anuprekd-rika in 1556 A. D. On Bratasigara see BHANDARKAR: Report on search of Sk. Mas, 183-884; PETERSON: Report IV; PRIMI: Jaina Sahitya aura Itihasa (2nd ed., Bombay 1956) pp. 371-78; PARAMANAND: Anekinta, IX, p. 474 f.; V. P.
