________________ AUTHOR'S BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. The Sripâla Râsa is the author's long descriptive and narrative poetical work, which was left unfinished on account of his sudden death, in S. Y. 1738, at Rander (in Gujarat), and was completed by bis co-student, Sri Yasovijaya Upadhyaya, as stated before. The poetry of our author can vie with that of the premier Gujarati poet, Premânandâ, who was his contemporary. 37 In the end, it can be said of the author that he has rendered a valuable service to the cause of Jainism by utilizing his abilities in writing useful works on its philosophy and religion in Sanskrit and Gujarati.Page Navigation
