In Jainagranthāvalī (p. 10) there are noted two Nisīhabhāsas. Out of them, one having about 6439 verses is anonymous. But it may be that either this work or the bigger one is composed by Jinabhadra Gaṇi⁶ Kṣamāśramaṇa.⁷ Muni Kalyāṇavijaya in his Gujarātī intro. (p 48) to Prabhāvakacaritra says that either this Bhāsa itself or a metrical composition expounding Nisīha may be the work of Siddhasena Divākara. He further says on p. 49 that this Siddhasena seems to have written Ṭīkās and Bhāsas on several Āgamas; but, now all of them are lost.
