________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir 105 (18) JHALAC HASGC: Akşalriya of the J balā family. PC (P. 72) relates that is rel to thrust into the ground two pārācis (= Desi pārdī, an iron instrunient for digging before taking his seat in the court. A voracious eater, he was asked by the king why he moved unarmed, to which his simple reply was that whatever was available at the emergency became his weapon, Just for test an clephant was once directed towards him all of a sudden. Inmediately he struck a log against its trunk and twisted its tail, which resulted into the death of the elephant. He is stated there to have fallen on the field of battle while fighting against the Muslims Dear l'ata na, where a memoir is known as the altar of M igū. This last statement speaks for his historicity. (19) SADUÁ SEKITARA: Nothing is known awut this cour. tier, but he appears to have belonged to the Sodhi clan of the Rajapūtas. (20) KAVISĀRVABHAUMA PANDITA SOJESVARC: No scholar' and excellent poet named Somes varit is known to have Aourished during the reign of Siddharaja. One Somesvara Para mara of Kiradu is noted to have been a feudatory courtier of this king. The present reference, therefore, seems to have confused this k satriya courtier Son es vara with the renowned poet Some svara, the author of Kirlikaumudi ctc., who flourished later under the patronage of minister Vastopala (21) PAŅDITA JAYADEVA: None of this name is known to have flourished during Siddharaja's reign. A minstrel of this name flourisbied in the reign of liis successor Kumāra pala according to the Risa Malā [Guj. ed., 1922, Vol. 1, pp. 279-280! One Pandita Ja y ad eva, again, is stated to have flourished in the days of the great minister Vastu pūla. The authors of the Prabandhay are known for their habit of placing personages oi different ages together. ( 22 ) PANDITA SURU: Tliis name probably refers to Sara, whose brother Soma was Siddharāja's treasurer according to Some. Syara's Kirlikaumudi ( 111, 8-9). This Soma was the grand father of the great minister Vastupala. This Sūra's father Candapra. sida and grand-father Canapa also were ministers. I Vide GMRI, P. 373.
