Notes/Description: Another commentary on the Kalpasutra, composed in Sam. 1696 by Vinayavijaya, pu. of Kirtivijaya, pu. of Hiravijayasuri of the Tapi Gaccha. It was composed at the instance of S’rivijaya, pu of Ramavijayagani and was corrected by Bhavavijaya (see No. 1414 above). Published in the D. L. P. Series, No. 63, Bombay,A.D. 1923 and also by the Jain Atmananda Sabha, Bhavnagar.For the author’s Lokaprakas’a composed in Sam. 1708, see below No. 1771. He made a Pratistha on the S’atrunjaya mountain in Sam. 1710; cf. E.I., II. p. 73. The date of the composition of the work is given in the words ‘रसशशिरसनिधिवर्षे’. In the Printed edition, the words are followed by the figure 1696. Obviously this is what is meant.रस=6, शशि=1, thus 16 and रस=6, निधि=9, thus 96. the whole being 1696 of the Vikrama Era.Such( partial or complete) violation of the usual rule अङ्कानां वामनो गति: is sometimes found among the Jain writers. I give a few cases, which I was able to pick up while going through the author’s Pras’astis copied down from unpublished works in the various Jain Bhandars (and kindly lent to me) by Dr. Tribhuvandas Shah of Bombay for his Encyclopaedia of Jainism and also by the famous Shri Indravijayasuri of Shivpuri, Gwalior.
