JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY Yogi the Siddha (c. 1300 A.D.), and (4) Pujyapāda Bhattāraka of Kārkala (C. 1500 A.D.).
With the available data there is no doubt that the Pūjyapāda referred to in Darśanasāra as the Guru of Vajranandi was no other than Pujyapāda I, Devanandi. The epigraphical records provide sufficient corroborative material to fix his identity and to enable us to distinguish him from the other and later Pūjyapādas. His works-Sarvārthasiddhi, Jainābhișeka, Samādhisataka, Jainendra Vyakarana, Sabdāvatāra Tika on Pāṇini and a work on medicine--Vaidya Sastra. His date--latter half of the 5th or the beginning of the 6th or about the middle of the 7th century A.D.

Jyoti Prasad Jain—“Pūjyapāda of the Chalukyan records”. (Jain Ant., vol. XIX, No. I), Arrab, 1953, Pp. 16 to 20 and Vol. XX, No. II, Arrah, 1954, Pp. 1 to 8.
Pūjyapada of the Chālukyan records (c. 7th century) is different from (Devanandi) Pūjyapāda-a grammarian and a contemporary of Ganga Diruinita (c. 5th century). Pujyapāda of the Chalukyan records was a reputed scholar and a great reformer. Epigraphical evidences given.

S. Srikantha Sastri–Vidyānanda. ( Jain Ant., Vol. XX, No. II), Arrah. 1954. Pp. 9 to 14.
Can Vidyānanda or Vidyānandin be identified with Vimalacandra ? Vidyānanda appears to have been an immediate disciple of Akalanka and he may be assigned to about 720 A.D.

Jyoti Prasad JAIN-Pujyapäda Devanandi, Jain. Ant. Vol. XXI, No. I), Arrah, 1955, Pp, 21 to 28, 31.
Epigraphic evidences sufficiently prove that there must have intervened at least a century between Pujyapāda Devanandi and Akalanka (c. 600-675 A.D.). Akalan ka mentions Devanandi and incorporates the whole of his Sarvärthasiddhi in his own Tattwārt harāja-vārtika and shows great respect and admiration of the latter's Jainendra grammar. Devanandi's well known works are: (1) The Jainendra Vyakarana, (2) The Sarvārthasiddhi, a learned commentary on the Tattvārthadhigamasūtra, (3) Samadhitantra, (4) Istopadeśha, (5) Daśabhakti ; (5) Sabdāvatāra, (7) Kalyāṇakāraka, (8) Jain bhișeka and (9) Sāntyaştaka,
