Kevala-Bodhi-Buddhist and Jaina History of the Deccan
edited this Kannada commentary and the Kannada University at Hampi in Karnataka published it in 2000 AD. This new copy of the Nitiväkyämritam agrees substantially with the earlier editions published in Mysore, Banaras, Jaipur, Hyderabad and Mumbai. And wherever our edition differs from these earlier published editions we have pointed out the difference in our notes. Finally for the benefit of students of Nitiväkyämṛitam, it may be mentioned that in Moodabidire there are other copies of this work with Sanskrit commentaries. In the Karkala matha also, there is another copy containing Neminatha's Kannada commentary of this work. The Jaina matha libraries in Moodabidire and Karkala can provide new materials for students of Nitivákyāmṛitam for many years to come.
