To the same period (end of 14th century) may be assigned four miniatures in the palm-leaf manuscript of the *Siddhahaima Vyākaraṇa* in the collection of Vakhatji Śerīnā Bhaṇḍār, Pāṭan.²⁶ The miniatures (Figs. 79–84) represent the request of Jayasimhadeva to Hemachandrāchārya to write the *Vyākaraṇa*, the procession of the book on an elephant of the temple of Pārśvanāth, and the request of the minister Karman to Anandaprabha Upādhyāya for getting a copy of the *Vyākaraṇa* made.
