Bhāgendu and Bhāgacandra, śubhendu and Subhacandra. Through mistake it was Sanskritised as Yogindra which has been current now. There are many Prakrit words which have been wrongly, and oftentimes differently, Sanskritised by different authors. The editor of Yogasara had detected this discrepancy but funnily he writes a combined name 'Yogindra-candracarya - kytah Yogasdraḥ.' If we take his name as Yogindu, everything will be consistently explained.
b) Works of Yogindu Various Works Traditionally Attributed-The following works are traditionally attributed to Yogindu (usually mentioned as Yogindra ): 1) P.-prakada (Apabh.); 2) Yogasara (Apabh.), 3) Naukara-:ravakacara (Apabh.) : 4) Adhyatmasamddha (Sk.); 5) Subhasita-tantra (Sk.); and 6) Tattvarthafika (Sk.). Besides, three more works attributed to Yogindra have come to light: 7) Dohapahuda (Apabh.); 8) Amtasiti (Sk.): and 9) Nijatmastaka (Pk.). Of these we do not know anything about Nos. 4 and 5; as to No. 6, the name Yogindradeva is in all probability confused with that of Yogadeva who has written a Sk. commentary on Tattvarthashtra, 1
1) Paramatma-prakasa : Authorship, etc-In the preceding section the various aspects of P.-prakasa have been studied in details. Undoubtedly it is the work of Joindu, and the proposal that it might have been compiled by a pupil of his is already rejected above.? Joindu plainly mentions his name and says that the work was composed for Bhatta Prabhakara. Then śrutasāgara, Balacandra, Brahmadeva and Jayasena have explicitly attributed the authorship of this work to Joindu." In fact, this is the biggest known work of Joindu, and on this rests his fame as a spiritualist.
2) Yogasara : Contents, Authorship, etc-The subject-matter of Yogasdra* is the 1. There is a Ms. (Dated Samvat 1863) of this work in the Bhandarkar Oriental Re
search Institute, Poona. In the opening remarks Yogadeva mentions the names of Padapujya and Vidyananda, in the concluding Prašasti he calls himself a Mahdbhatfaraka. He was a pupil of Pandita Bandhudeva, a contemporary of king Bhima and a resident of Kumbhanagara. The name of his commentary is Sukhabodha Tattvarthavętti. Madhava (c. 1350) refers to Yogadeva and his Vetti in his Sarvadarsana-sangraha, Chap. 3. See p. 9 above. For references see my paper in the Anna Is; see also the discussion of the date below, MDJG. Vol. XXI, pp. 55-74. The contents are analysed in my paper in the Annals. At Karanja there is a Sk. commentary on this work by Indranandi, the pupil of Amarakirti (Catalogue of Sk. and Pk. Mss. in c. P. and Berar, p.685); and there is a Hindi metrical rendering of it published under the name, Svanubhava-darpana by Munshi Nathuram, in 1899 A.D.; and on this Hindi rendering there is an exhau. stive Gujarati commentary by Lalan, Bombay 1905.
