(of Padmanandi), the Lokavibhāga of Simhasūri) etc., are very well preserved in Kannada script. (b) Several such Mss of the Tiloyasara contain Sanskrit commentaries by either Madhavacandra or Abhyacandra (c) One Kavicandrama has translated the Lokavibhāga into Kannada - the Ms is dated C.1700 A.D. (d) The great Kannada poet, Ratnākaravarni (1600 A.D.) has composed a beautiful Jaina Cosmographic work in Kannada entitled the Trilokasataka, which in my view, appears to be a digest of Nemicandrācārya's Prakrit Tiloyasara. (iii) The Trilokasataka has appeared in print. Story No.7, pp.97-98. pp. 178-179. (i) p.126. (ii) This verse, which is found in the Tiloyasāra, is certainly a quotation from some early work. (iii) It campares partly with the one in the Tiloya-pannatti, Ch.Il-352. (i) pp. 126-127. (ii) This description very well compares with the one found in the Tiloya-pannatti, Ch.Il-313-358. p.96. It is found in the Paramātma-prakasa-tika of Brahmadova 2-63, where also it seems to be a quotation from some ancient work. The Vaddarādhane, in Story No. 1, respectfully refers to this and also some other earlier Cosmographical works like the Logani and the Sangani, which titles appear to be currupt forms of the Logayanīya and the Aggāyaniya.
