Şabhā; 'Bhavnagar: Dr. J. S. Jctly had prepared for his Doctorate a critical edition of Naracandrasūri's gloss on the Nyāyakandali of Sridhara, which is a commentary on the Bhāşya of Prasastapāda: on the Vaiścșika Sūtras. Naracandra was a member of the literary circle of Vastupāla, and while studying his work Dr. Jetly has taken a detailed survey of the contribution of Jaina writers to Nyāya-Vaiścşika literaturc. Dr. Jetly has also cdited the Tarkasangraha Phakkikā of Upādliyāya Kşamākalyāna (Rājasthāna Purātana Granthamālā, no. 9, Jaipur, 1956). · It is a scholarly commentary on thc Tarkasangraha and its Dipikā by Annambhalţa, and was composed in 1798 A.D. Lāvaṇyasūri has written a new commentary on Anckäntavyavasthā Prakarana of the great logician Upādhyāya Yaśovijaya who flourished in the 18th century (Boțād, V.S. 2014) and Amritasūri has written a new Sanskrit commentary on Šāstravārtāsamuccaya of Haribhadrasūri and Syādvärakalpalatā of Yaśovijaya, which itself is an exposition of the former work (Shirpur, 1958).

It would be advisable to make a fresh search for more manuscripts of this celebrated Košit in India, coinpare it with the Tibctan version and publish it in a complctc form.
