________________ (c-1) PAYACHAND OR PARSHWACHANDRA SHWACHA GACHCHHA. [The list of the Gachchha counts from Goutama, the first ganadhar' of Mahavira, instead of beginning from Mahavira or Sudharma as in (b) or (c). It is a branch of the 'Tapa' and so we find, up to No 40 Munichandra, similarity in names with slight difference. Unlike Tapa it does not include Nos 7 and 10 in Nos 6 and 9 respectively. It excludes Dinna Suri (No 14) from the list. The number, therefore, of Udyotana Suri comes to 37. Dr. Klatt does not explain this (Indian Antiquary Vol XXIII p. 181). The Mss. give the date of Indradinna (No. 13) as 74 B.C.]. 37. Udyotana. 38. Sarvadeva I. presentin S 1010 (953 A.D.) 39. Deva I. 40. Sarvadeva II. 41. Yashobhadra. 42. Nemichandra. 43. Munichandra. 44. Deva II. brother pupil with Ajitadeva No. 41. of (c); (died in S. 1226 = 1169 A.D.) 45. Padmaprabha 46. Prasannachandra. 47. Gunasamudra, Dr. Klatt mentions Jayashekhara as 47 and again as 49. My Mss. has only one 'Jayashekhara 48; possibly it may be a mistake of Dr. Klatt's Mss.)
