Nos. 209-210.Our author was made an Upadhyaya by Candrasuri's pupil Gunas’ekhara. Sanghatilaka, a pupil of this Gunas’ekhara wrote his commentary on Samyaktvasaptati in Sam. 1422; see Peterson.Reports, I. p. 92.

earlier writer. He composed his Pratyeka-buddhacarita in Sam. 1261; Jitakalpavrtti in Sam. 1274; Samyaktvavrtti in Sam. 1277;Avas’yakaniryuktivrtti in Sam. 1296 and Das'avaikalikatika in Sam. 1304. See Peterson,Reports, I. App. p. 6; IV. p. 74; V. p. 65 and
