The Jains, in their turn, had grammars of their own. The *Jainendra Vyākaraṇa*,¹ ascribed to the Jinendra, really written by Pūjyapāda Devanandin, perhaps was composed *c.* 678. The *Çākaṭāyana Vyākaraṇa*² belongs to the reign of Amoghavarṣa (814–77), when Çākaṭāyana compiled it, using the terminology of Pāṇini, of Candra, and also of the *Jainendra*. The grammar has besides a full commentary, abridged by Yakṣavarman in his *Cintāmaṇi*, works on *Dhātu*, *Gaṇa*, *Uṇādi*, *Paribhāṣā*, and a *Liṅgānuçāsana*. Based on it is the *Siddhahemacandra* or *Haima Vyākaraṇa*,³ written for Jayasiṁha Siddharāja who had eight older works brought from Kashmir for his use; the work is practical in arrangement and terminology, which is mainly that of the *Kātantra*, and omits, of course, Vedic grammar and accent. Hemacandra wrote two commentaries, an *Uṇādigaṇasūtra* and a *Dhātupāṭha*.⁴
