KÄRTTIKIYASTER TISZ
Sakalakirti': This Sakalakirti, the pupil of Paduanandi, is credited with starting the Idara branch of the Balatkära-gaga. He was initiated in the order of monks at the age of 25; and he moved about as e Digambara monk for about 22 years. A number of images and temples were consecrated by him, especially in North Gujarat, for which the available dates range from a. D. 1433 to 1442. He is a voluminous writer with a large number of works to his credit some of which are? : Prasrottaropäiscskācāra, Pārsvapumin, Sukundlo-stämi-caritra or Sukumara-caritra, Mülacara-prodira, Sripalo caritra, Yousadhara-caritra, Tattārthasdira dipaka. He is described as punina-mukhyottametsästrakári and mahakavitādi-kala-prwinan. Subhasandra speaks about him in bis Pandava-predna thus :
कीर्तिः कृता वेग व मत्यलोके शास्त्रार्थकी सकला पवित्रा। Bhuvanakirti: Sakalakirti was succeeded by Bhuvanakirti (Sam. 1508-1527 ) who is the author of a few Rasas and who instructed the consecration of an image in 4. D. 1470.
Jñánabhūşuna': Bhavanakīcti's suocessor is Joanabhūşaya who conseorated images from Sań, 1534 to 1552, i. e., A. D. 1477 to 1495.

He is the author of Tattoo jñanza-tarangini, Siddhantasärabhasya (both of these published), ParumrthoPodlesa, Nerninaruaru-pañfika (?), Pañoistikaya - fika (?) and some manuals on ritual." There have been authors, more than ono, bearing the name JMánabhüşana; naturally the Mas, of these works will have to be duly inspe cted. From two insoriptione on images it is cleur that he had vacated the seat of Bhattāraka in favour of Vijayakirti as early as Sar. 1557, i.e., A. D. 1500. His Tattrxeñantarangint was completed in a. D. 1503, A Ms. of the
