Shah Jambu-jyoti Virasenasvami, in his marigalacarana to the Jayadhavala-tika, writes : जेणिह कसाय-पाहुडमणेयणयमुज्जलं अणंतत्थं / गाहाहि विवरियं तं गुणहरभडारयं वंदे // 6 // गुणहरवयण विणिग्गय गाहाणत्थोवहारिओ सव्वो। जेणज्जमखुणा सो सणागहत्थी वरंदेऊ // 7 // जो अज्जमंगुसीसो अंतेवासी विणागहत्थिस्स सो वित्तिसुत्तकत्ता जइवसहो मे वरं देऊ // 8 // –कसायप्राहुड, भा० 1, p. 4 Gunadhara composed the Kasayaprabhrta in gathas. Arya Markhu fully grasped the meaning of thegatha's uttered by Gunadhara. YativTsabha was the author of the Vsttisutra (curnisutra). Yativrsabha, according to Virasena, was the disciple of Arya Mangu and also disciple (antevasi) of Nagahasti. 28. See an. 26 where Av. Cur. p. 585 refers to Arya Mangu, Arya Samudra, and Arya Nagahasti as Vacaka. It is, then, certain that Arya Mangu of the Svetambara texts is identical wish Arya Manksu of the Dhavala and the Jayadhavala, etc. 29.
