Another Jain Campū known to us is the *Jīvandharacampū*¹ of Haricandra, which is based on the *Uttarapurāṇa* of Guṇabhadra, and cannot be before A.D. 900. Whether this writer is the same as the Haricandra, the Digambara, who wrote the *Dharmaçarmābhyudaya* in twenty-one cantos, must remain uncertain, but that author copied both Māgha and Vākpati, and thus there is no chronological difficulty in the suggestion. Both works are of the type of respectable dullness.
