PUBLISHED COMMENTARIES
1 Bhāṣya on the work, the foremost cty, the Svetāmbara version follows this recension and the Svetambara position is that this is a svopajña bhāṣya. 2142 granthas (JRK 155a). Kapadia thinks it is the work of the author and that it predates the Sarvärthasiddhi (TattvārSū. 1926-30: 1,47).
Printed TattvaSu. 1902-1905; 1924bc; 1926; 1926-30; 1945. Translations into Gujarati, see Gujarati translations below (1937, 1947)
Samantabhadra, Digambara, first half of 8th cent. (Winternitz 1933:2, 580) Gandhahasti mahābhāṣya no longer extant (NCC 8, 79b; TattvaSū. 1944a, Preface 4).
The introduction (115 verses) however is available and is called Devāgama-stotra or Aptamimamsā it explains Syādvāda and was known to Kumārila and Vacaspatimiśra. On the contents see Vidyabhūṣaṇa History of Indian logic, p. 184 f. (Winternitz 1933:2, 581 nl; NCC 8, 80a). Velankar however suggests references to this cty are mistaken and refer to Samantabhadra's bhāṣya on the Karma and Kaṣāya prabhṛtas. However he goes on to cite Laghusamantabhadra and Hastimalla who refer to this cty: Laghusamantabhadra in his cty on the Aṣṭasahasri states that Samantabhadra composed the Gandhahastimahābhāṣya on Umāsväti's TattvaSu.; Hastimalla in his Vikrantakaurava nāṭaka
1. Date from Digambara Pattavali (TattvaSū. 1944a. Preface, p.3). He is also known as Vacaka or Nagara Vacaka (JRK 155b).
