corresponding ones occurring in Haribhadra's commentaries (vșttis) on Prajñāpanā and Srāvakıprañapti. On the basis of this comparison we arrived at the conclusion that Prajñāpanāmūlaţikä and Srāvakaprajñaptimülaţikā mentioned by Ac. Malayagiri are nothing but the above mentioned Vịttis of Āc. Haribhadra. Of course some passages yield different readings. But this is merely due to the difference in manuscripts copied by two different hands at two different dates the period intervening between these two dates also being very long. Prajñāpanasangrahani was written in verses and Ac. Haribhadra wrote a commentary on it. Ac. Haribhadra commented on Dharmasara also. Ac. Jinabhadra has written a commentary on his own Bhäsya. This commentary has already been published?. Ac. Malayagiri has composed 'Sabdānuśāsana' and he himself has written a commentary on it. This Sabdanuśasana along with the auto-commentary has already been published.8
Generally Ac. Malayagiri simply notes the different views regarding the explanation of the text of Prajñapana. But at times he gives his own view also; and he even remarks that the point is revealed to the omniscient person only and we being ignorant cannot decide as to what is truth. For the different views recorded by him one may refer to : folios 28, 38, 73, 74, 76, 77, 86, 146, 220, 222, 229, 238, 262, 277, 283, 319, 331, 391, 404, 491.
