97. 1.1., p. 156 ff.
98. 'Śrī-Siddhasena-Divākara-kṛta-granthāmāla ( Ekaviṁśati-Dvātrimśikā, Nyāyāvatāra, Sanmatisūtra Mūla )', Śrī-JainaDharma-Prasaraka Sabha, Bhavnagar, Samvat 1965, p. 15 f.
('Bh').
99. (a) 'Dvātrimśad-dvātrimśikā', Manuscript No. 32 of 1880/81 of the Government Manuscripts Library of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona ('P'), undated and without colophon. It contains the first 20 Dvātriṁśikas, including the poem under discussion which occupies Fols. 51a-57a and ends with the sub-colophon - "er-Uत्रिंशिका समाप्ता ॥ छ ॥ " A transcript I obtained through the courtesy of the Curator, Mr. P. K. Gode.
(b) A manuscript, without singnature or number, of the Vijayadharma-Lakṣmi-Jñānamandira of Agra, Belanganj ('A'), which contains the first 21 Dvātrimśikās, and was made available to me through the kindness of my Guru on the field of Jainagama and Old Gujarati studies, Muni Vidyavijaya. Its colophon runs as follows: "I fafa 31916 d १ भौमवासरे श्रीसंवत् १९६१ हस्ताक्षरेण पंडित बालाजी वैद्यस्य || " The poem under discussion has the sub-colophon : “Tवचनद्वात्रिंशिका एकादशोऽध्यायः समाप्ता ॥ " .
100. Vide Stanzas 25 and 28. Here I must acknowledge my obligation to Pt. Hiralal, Siddhantashastri, Ujjain, who, when I discussed the difficult 28th stanza with him, first recognized the allusions to Vaiseṣika Philosophy which it contains.
101. 'Naya', one of the fundamental terms of Jaina Logic, with which Siddhasena has dealt in detail in his Sanmatitarka ( I. 22 ff: p. 26 ff. of the English edition of Pts. Sanghavi and Doshi, Bombay, 1939 ), showing that real truth can only be arrived at by seeing a thing from various standpoints and drawing conclusions from the aggregate, true to the Jaina doctrine of Anekāntavāda or 'Relativity of Truth'.
