is really no scope for it because Indranandi appears to expressly mention his name in the body of his hymn or work as he has in fact done in the said hymn of Sri Pārsvanātha and also his Jwālinīkalpa. That Jwālinīstotra commencing with the words 'Srimaddaityorugendra' is not Indranandi's is certain as the vehicle of Jwālinī in the first verse thereof is said to be a lion instead of the he--buffalo mentioned by Indranandi in his Jwālini-kalpa. Both Elācārya and Mallişeņa describe the vehicle to be a he-buffalo.
We may here state in anticipation that we are inclined to think that the same author also composed the famous Padmāvatyastaka which has been much enlarged by subsequent additions as given in Appendix 5.
The other works in Appendix 4 viz. two Așțakas, Jayamālā etc. are in ungrammatical Sanskrit and are meant to be recited while performing Pūjā.
APPENDIX 5-PADMAVATI STOTRA ETC. Appendix 5 gives the enlarged version of the famous Padmavatyaştaka. The first eight verses are the original verses and with verse 32 as the 9th verse comprise the original hymn, the ninth verse being meant to narrate the fruits to be gathered by the recital of the hymn. The 33rd verse of the hymn, as given, in this appendix, is of a similar nature and contains 'Falasruti' by the redactor, VV. 34 to 36 prove conclusively that the original hymn contained only eight verses. Because the 32nd verse has the word 'Dānavendraih' some think it must have been composed by some Danavendrasūri. We are not aware of any such Sūri. As the hymn was popular even in the time of the commentator Pārsvadevagaņi i. e, in 1203 (he terms it 'Lokaprasiddha') it must have been written at least a century earlier. We think, as already stated above, that the author of this hymn must be the same as the author of Pārsvanāthastotra and Jwālinistotra above mentioned. The five other works are Astaka, Pratyekapūjā, Jayamāla, Padmavatidandaka and Padmāvati Patala. All these except Dandaka
