daughter of Jasadhīra's grandfather Jagasimha, and therefore
a sister of the former's father Jasavīra. 17. Somasundara Sūri, Jinasundara Sūri, Caritraratna Vācaka,
Sarvahamsa Gani, P. Jayasādhu, Sarvavijaya Gani : cf. An. p. 26 ff. Su. VIII, 45 ff., and Muni Caturvijaya, Jaina-stotrasandoha, Ahmedabad, Introduction to I, p. 79 and to II, p. 89 f.; he names P. Sivahema and Vācaka Jinamāņikya as his
teachers. 18. Vide M. D. Desai, Jaina Gurjara Kavio, II, p. 719 f: he died
in S. 1499. 19. Cf. : M. D. Desai, Short History of Jaina Literature, f. 755;
the references and quotations relating to the first 12 stanzas of this text are taken from an extract from P. Peterson's “Fifth Report of Operations in Search of Saṁskṛta Manuscripts in the Bombay Circle”, 1896, No. 625, kindly placed at my disposal by Ācārya Vijayendra Sūri; those relating to other portions of the text are from manuscript No. 703 of the Bhaktivijayaji Bhandar of the Atmananda Sabha, Bhavnagar, kindly lent to me by the latter ( a rather incomplete manu
script ). 20. Cf : SIST 77621, "sit ofia71 Ofreift 109 11
3451fox”, a Thigi PO, 2-3, qo 88 ff. My references and quotations refer to a photostatic copy of manuscript 7305 of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Calcutta, kindly lent to me by the ever helpful and generous Shri Agarchand Nahta. This manuscript is the only one known so far of this text and is very defective, as not only the 5th and 6th leaves are missing, but also the whole last portion from the 20th leaf onward, which must have contained the final stanzas 31-43 of the 8th Sarga ( for the 19th leaf ends with st. 30, while the last, unnumbered leaf begins with st. 44 ), which B. Nahta does not mention. In the process of copying too, text portions, such as VII. 74 and VIII. 25 have got lost.
