Jñanapitha, Banaras, 1957). The Deväprabodha Stotra or Sadharana Jina Stotra of Jayānandasűri (14th-15th century A.D.) with a commentary by Meghavijaya has been edited by Muni Ramanikavijaya. It is already printed and will be shortly published by the Jaina Atmānanda Sabha, Bhavnagar. Five new hymns by Muni Nyāyavijayaji have been published at Pātan in small booklets during the period under reviewBhaktagitam, Kalyānabhāvanā, Dinākrandanam, Atmatattvaprakāsa and Mahămânava Blahávíra. These are in the authentic tradition of ancient devotional hymns, and the author has very good command over Sanskrit poctic diction.
In Prabandha-literature Acarya Jinavijayaji has published Kumārapālacaritrasangraha, a collection of seven historical and semi-historical works bearing on the life of king Kumārapāla (Singhi Jaina Series, no. 41, Boinbay, 1956). The same veteran scholar has cdited another work of considerable historical interest, Kharatara Gaccha )shad Gurvavali of Jinapăla, giving a chronological account of the pontiffs of the Kharatara Gaccha of Svetämbaras from the 11th to the 14th century and it is accompanied by a historical study by Mr. Agarchand Nahata (Singhi Series, no. 42, Bombay, 1956). Paffāvali Samuccaya, another collection of Pattávalis or accounts of religious elders of different Gacchas and a valuable collection of contemporary historical literature about the great minister Vastupāla ( 13th century A.D.) are shortly to be published in the same scries.
Nayacakra of Mallavādin is one of the basic works on Jaina logic, and though available in a fragmentary state it was edited twice beforc. But there was ample scope even for a third editing, as lias been done by Muni Jamhuvijayaji, a profound scholar of Jaina and Buddhist logic and also of Tibetan. He has successfully reconstructed numerous quotations from earlier philnsaphers occurring in this work with the help of Tibetan translations, and one can be sure that he will bring out a more authentic text of the Nayacakra. Vajor part of the book is printed, and it will be published shortly by Jaina Atmánanda
