INTRODUCTION 19 kirti) together in one stanza. In the colophons' of these Sandhis Svayambhú alone is mentioned; Tribhuvana Svayambhū is not in- cluded. Lastly Sandhis 107-112 contain', somewhere in the body of the last Kadavaka, in the Ghatta of the last Kada- vaka or in the colophon in one or several of these pla- ces-the namamudrās or names of all the three: Svayam- bhū, Tribhuvana Svayambhú and Yaśaḥkirti. These facts suggest that Tribhuvana Svayambhů and Yaśaḥkirti also had their hands in the composition of Sandhis 100-112. This is made clear by the colophons of Sandhis 100-104, 107-112 and by the colophon of the whole work". Tribhuvana Svayambhū and Yaśahkirti" both praise the effort of rescuing the incomplete or partly lost liter- ary works of others as a magnanimous effort. In the colophon after the 112. Sandhi the following information is givenº: This well-known Bhârata-purāņa containing Harivamśa and the life history of Nemi was composed in the Paddhadiā metre by Sva. yambhū. Whatever gap (sunnan) was left in his work was Alled up after the poet's death by his son Tribhuvana Svayambhū. What- ever was left out even after Tribhuvana's supplementation was 'rescued' (uddhariu) i.e. made good by Yaśaḥkirti in accordance with the tradition of the Harivamsa and at the instance of his Guru Sri-Gunakīrti. At the invitation (?) of Sarahasena (?) Śreşthi, Yasaḥkirti came to Kumara-ņayari (Kumāra-nagari) and recited (this Purāņa) before the Śrāvakas in the Paniyāra Jain temple near Gopagiri (Gwalior). The requisite information regarding this Yaśaḥkirti can be gathered from the beginning portions and colophons of his two works. Yaśaḥkirti Bhattāraka belonged to the Kâşthā Sargha, Mathura Anvaya and Puşkara Gana. He to the Kāşthā Samgha, Māthura Anvaya and Puşkara Gana. He was a pontiff at Gwalior. He flourished in the first half of the 15th century during the reign of the Tomara king Kirtisimha. His successors were Malayakīrti and Gunabhadra. Pandita Rai- dhu", who composed numerous Apabhraíśa works like Padma- purāna (or Balabhadrapurāņa), Nemipurāņa, Pārsvacarita, Var- dhamanacarita, Dhanakumăracarita, etc. was a contemporary and a co-disciple of Yaśaḥkirti. Mss. of two Apabhrañśa works of Yaśaḥkirti are known to exist. The Pandavapurāņa", a fairly ex- tensive work in 34 sargas was composed by him in 1440 A.D." for a layman called Hemarāja, while the Candappahacariu in 11 San- dhis was written at the request of a pious Jain called Siddhapāla. Now two questions arise. First, what were the contributions (1) Appendix I, st. 70, 72. Premi, 1942, 379 is not correct when he says that all the Sandhis from 100-112 mention Tribhuvana in their colophons'. (2) Appendix I. st. 73-88. Premi and Jain again do not include here the 107. Sandhi because they missed the namamudrá that occurs in the 2. line before the Ghattā of the last Kadavaka. (3) Appendix I, passage No. 87, lines 6-20. (4) Appendix 1, st. 68, 84.
