D.). Jinasena completed his commentary Jayadhavala of 40,000 slokas in the Saka Year 769. Virasena and his pupil Jinasena were both prolific writers, the first completing his philosophical prose writing. amounting to 92,000 lokas in the course of 31 years and the second writing the Jayadhavala, the beautiful poem Parshva-bhyudaya and the Sanskrit Adipuräna.
