__VI. Paramatmaprkasa of Yogindradeva, a Digambara. This is a philosophical work in 330 Dohas. It was composed at the request of Bhatta Prabhakara. For, it says:
भट्टपयाहरि (पहायरि ?) विनविउ विमल करेविणु भाव । VI. The Neminahacariu of Haribhadru, Candrasūri's pupil, who completed his work in 1159. Prof. H. Jacobi, who makes mention of it at p.1 and 2 of his Introduction to Bhavisattakaha thus describes it. "This is a work of great extent (8032 granthas of 32 syllables) and is almost entirely in strophes of 9 lines called Raddā or Vastu. It relates the nine previous births of Ariştanemi and Rājīmati and in the smaller second half, the story of this Tirthakara, which is interwoven with that of Kșspa and the Pāņdavas.' The work when published by a scholar like Prof. Jacobi, will add further to our knowledge of Apabhramsa language in particular and literature in general.
VII. Vairasamicariu of Varadatta is in two Sandhis only, containing 12 and 9 Kadavaks respectively. There are Mss. of it both at Patana and Cambay. It begins:
अहो जण निठण्णि (णि ) जउ कनु धरिजउ (हु) वारसामिनिवरचरित । साहडं सुमणोहरु भवियह सुंदरु जि जिणरयणु समुद्धरित ॥ १॥ तुंबवननामि पुरवह पहाणुं अत्थेत्यु भरहि वरगुणनिहाणु।
जिणभवणिहि सुंदर किउ पवित्तु देउलविहारमंडिउ पवित्तु ॥ २ ॥ The end:
मुनिवर वरदत्तिं गणहरभत्तिं वइरसामिगणहरचरिउ ।
साहिजउ भावि मुंचहु पावि जिं तिहुवणु नियगुणभरिउ ॥ No dates are available.
