________________ The question arises as to who is the author of Niseeth. The tradition does not give the credit of authorship either to Hémacandrācārya Maladhari or to Koyācārya. So, it is probable that the commentary must have been written by Jinabhadra Gani and the sentence "Apfe a" found in the commentary of Kotyācārya, might have orginally belonged to the commentary written by Sri Jinabhadra Gani Kşamaśramaņa himself. (ii) Brihat Samgrahāņi--This work runs in almost 500 verses. Ācārya Malayagiri Sūri has written a commentary on this work in Sanskrit. The work along with the Commentary has already been published. (iii) Brihat Ksétra-Samāsa–This is also a similar work. Ācārya Sri Malayagiri Siri and others, have written commentaries and the work along with the cominentaries is published, (iv) Jita Kalap Sitra--This work lays down various religious practices to be followed by the Jaina Monks. The work is also dealing with the ten types of remonstration. The subject of remonstration has already been treated in the Chéda-sätra and other works, Jinabhadra Gani seems to have composed this work with a view to treat the subject in a precise and comprehensive manner. The oldest conimentary available on this work at present is the cîrşi of Siddhaséna in Prakrit. In his Cârņi, Siddhaséna remarks at one place, that there existed some other cûrni* also, before he composed his one, but that is not available at present On this Cûrņi of Siddhasena, Śrî Candra Sari has written expianatory notes in Sanskrit. Besides the cûr i of Siddhaséna, there is one more cûrni availaole in Prakrit verses. It is difficult to say whether it is the same cârni that he refers to or it is different from his own. Nothing is known about the author and the date of composition * 3171 Filargiu-faranga ata pa gitu a ofen Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
