5) SUBHACANDRA AND HIS COMMENTARY
8) DETAIS ABOUT SOBELACANDRA Though nothing is known about the family life of Subbaoandra, the author of the Sanskrit Vịtti on the Kattigeyinuppekkhai, he gives at the close
me of his works his hierarcbioal tonealogy sometime in short and sometime in greater details. He belonged to Nandi-ganghe, a sub-section of Müls-sangha, and Balätkära-gaņa. The genealogy begins from Kundakurda of venerable antiquity and stands as below:
Kandaktada>Padmanandi> Sakalakirti'>Bhuvanakirti > Jianabhsaņa>Vijayakīrti>Subhaoandra.
Some of the predecessors of Sabhasandra were great writers of their times.
Kundakunda': Traditionally Kandakunda is said to have composed 84 Pakaļas, but only about a dozen of his works have come down to w. Some of them like the Prarrojamasira and Samayam are pretty big works, while others like different Pabudas are comparatively short treatises. AD his works are in Prăkrit (or specifically, Jaina Sauruseni). He flourished about the beginning of the Christian era.
Padmanandi': According to a Pattavali, this Padmanandi ecoceeded Prabhāvandra on the portificul seat at Delhi (Ajmer ?) and is roughly Assigned to a. D. 1328–1993. He came from a Brahmin family, and is the author of the Bhāvand-proldhati, a hymn of 34 verses in fluent Sanskrit', and the Jirapalli-Pārsvandthct-stotru. He consecrated an image of Adinatha in the year, Sarn. 1450 ( -57 ) 4. b. 1393. It is his pupils that occupied further three seats of Bhattārakas at Delhi Jaipur, at Idara and at Sarat
