________________ जैन विद्या एवं प्राकृत : अन्तरशास्त्रीय अध्ययनै this work worth reading by using appropriate similies and metaphors drawn from different walks of public life. His fluent language, intimate way of addressing the Jiva and the lucid arguments make the reader to read his work repeatedly. Sometimes he, appears to be talkative, but never he bores his readers. His usage of desi words and popular proverbs are very touching and they appeal the comman man's mind. He argues with jiva logically as if the jiva is before him. He advises jiva as teacher or an elder, requests him as a friend, takes him to task as a very intiinate person and this style is very rare in literature. By giving suitable stories he has made his work a very good Kathākośa also. A detailed study of his work shows that he was indebted to Jatasimhanandi, Harişeņa, Pampa, Ranna, Säntinäha, Nāgacandra, Nayasena and others for the stories he has narrated.
