APPENDICES APPENDIX 1-ADBHUTA PADMAVATI KALPA TVE now turn to works in appendices. 'Adbhuta Padmavati Kalpa' of
W Candrasūri, a pupil of Swetambara Upadhyāya Yāsobhadra, is contained in Appendix I. It is a work in six chapters but the first two chapters are missing. Indranandi is mentioned in v. 50 ch. IV and after v. 15 ch. V of the said work and described respectively therein as Guru and Mantravādi-Vidya-Cakravarti-Cüdāmaņi This is enough to identify him as the famous Digambara Jain Mantrika who flourished circa 996 Vikrama era.

The mention of 24 companion-deities and 20 Dandesas of Sri Padmāvati in the Yantra described in ch. IV of the work is novel. The arrangement of the Yantra is probably borrowed from some work of Indranandi. * Inclusion of Pratyanyirā, Ambikā, Jwālāmālīni and Cakreśvari in the Yantra shows the popularity of these deities at the time. + Details of worship of Sri Padmāvati are also given in the said chapter.

VI with Mālāmantra given in the beginning of Indranandi's Padmavatīpūjana in Appendix 2. + Jinsenācārya who composed Harivamśapurāņa in Saka 705 i. e. 840 Vikram era refers to 24 Sasanadevatás and praises therein Apraticakră alias Cakreśvari and Ambikā which shows popularity of their worship at the time. Here is the verse:
प्रहीतचक्राप्रतिचक्रदेवता तथोर्जयन्तालयसिंहवाहिनी । शिवाय यस्मिनिह सन्निधीयते व तत्र विघ्नाः प्रभवन्ति शासने ॥४४॥
