(4) Vanaspativicāra by Municandrasūri (Death in 1178 VS) The exposition of plant-life contained in the first chapter of Prajñāpanā is restated in Municandrasūri's Vanaspatisaptatikā consisting of 71 verses. Its avacūri is also available. But we have no means to know as to who has written this cvacūri. Vanaspatisaptatikā begins with the declaration that it expounds different divisions of plant-bodied beings, especially pratye kavanaspati and ananta-vanaspati. At the end of the work there occurs the following verse : evam pannavanae pannavanae lavo samuddhario bhaviyāņa’ņuggahakae sirimanmunicamdasūrihin || 71 || -iti Vaņapphaisattari || A manuscript of Vanaspatisaptatikā is available in Pujya Munirāja Sri Kirtimuniji's collection (Serial No. 10601) preserved in L. D. Vidyamandir. It belongs to 16th century of Vikrama Era. Other two manuscripts of the same work are also available in the same collection. Out of these two, one contains the text of Vanaspatisaptatikā alone whereas the other contains avacūri also. There is one manuscript belonging to L. D. Collection (serial No. 3674). It contains, along with other works, this work also. Here we find that the work consists of 77 verses. The six out of these 77 are possibly the interpolated verses. The title of the work contains the term 'saptatikā' which definitely points to the fact that the text of the work originally consisted of 71 verses only. In this manuscript at the end of this particular work there occurs a statement : prajñāpanādyapadagato vanaspativicāraḥ sampūrnah' As has already been said, the manuscript contains many works. The manuscript begins with Vicārasattari by Mahendrasuri of Añcalagaccha, along with its avacūri; after that we find the abovementioned Vanaspativicāra along with its avacūrņi and at last there Prajñāpanā-trtłyapadasangrahaņł (along with its avacūrni) by Abhayadeva. The manuscript has been written in 1670 V. S. (5) Prajnāpanābijaka There is one manuscript in L. D. Collection (Serial No. 5805) of L. D. Vidyamadir. It contains, along with Bhagavatībījaka of Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
