etc. here ); Älāpapaddhatiof Devasena (cf. pp. 162, 156 etc. with pp. 160, 173 etc. here); Dravyasamgraha with the Sanskrit com, of Brahmadeva ( cf. the com. on gāthās 16, 18, 48, 57 etc. with pp. 140, 147, 361, also 383, 392 ); Căritrasāra' of Câmundarāya (cf. pp. 35, 59, 60 etc. with pp. 300, 330, 340 etc. here ); Śrutasāgara's Sanskrit commentary on the Tattvärtha-sūtra® (cf. pp. 249, 285, 320, 312–13 etc. with pp. 241, 304-5, 386, 337–9 etc. here ). It is quite likely that Subhacandra has used many other texts like the Karmaprakrti, Trailokyasāra etc. for his contents; and it is possible to study such contexts easily from the quotations which are separately listed, with or without the names of authors or works.
iii) Some Works and Authors mentioned by Subhacandra
Some of the references of Subhacandra to earlier authors and works need a little observation. Among the works mentioned by him, the Karma praksti (p. 386 ) may be an unpublished text of that name.
The Ārādhanāsāra of Ravicandrat (pp. 234, 391 ) is not published, but half a dozen Mss. of it ( one with a Kannada commentary) are reported. It is a small text in Sanskrit. Another work Gandharvārādhanā is mentioned (p. 392). This is referred to by Brahmadeva in his Sanskrit commentary on the Dravyasaṁgraha (gāthā 57), and possibly this very source is being followed by Subhacandra. But as yet no Ms. of it has come to light. The reference to Nayacakra (p. 200 ), a Sanskrit text, stands for the Alāpapaddhati' of Devasena in which the sentence quoted is traced (p. 166 ).

3) In my paper Subhacandra and his Prākrit grammar', Annals of the B. O. R. I., XIII, 1, p. 52, I could not be definite about the relative age of Śrutasāgara and $ubhacandra. It is obvious now that śubhacandra is quoting from the commentary of Srutasāgara: so the latter is an elderly oontemporary of the former. It is clear from the details brought to light in the Bhattāraka-Sampradāya that Śrutasāgara was a pupil of Vidyānandi ( A. D. A. D. 1442-1480 ) a dharma-bhrātā of Malli bhūsana (A. D. 1487-1498 ) and was honoured by Lakşmioandra ( A. D. 1499-1525 ) who were the Bhattārakas of the Surat branch. Major works of Srutasägara, especially the Tattavārtha-vștti, were ready by A. D. 1525, and naturally it could be drawn upon by Subhacandra who completed his K.-Anuprekşā-tikā in 1556 A. D. On Srutaságara see BHANDARKAR: Report on search of Sk, Mss. 183–884; PETERSON : Report IV; PREMI: Jaina Sahitya aura Itihāsa (2nd ed., Bombay 1956 ) pp. 371-78; PARAMANAND: Anekānta, IX, p. 474 f.; V.
