[^1): The first 14 Sargas were written by Sakalakīrti, the rest by Jinadāsa. See *Bhandarkar*, Report 1883-84, pp. 123 and 433 f.; *Leumann* in WZKM 11, 1897, 312; *Hiralal*, Catalogue, p. 715 f. In Bhandarkar's MS. only Jinadāsa is mentioned as the author. Sakalakīrti lived in about 1464 A.D., and Jinadāsa therefore in the second half of the 15th century. *Hiralal*, Catalogue, pp. 715 f., 760 ff., 768, also mentions Harivaṃśa-Purāṇas by Raviṣeṇa, Śrībhūṣaṇa, Dharmakīrti and Rāmacandra. Besides these Sanskrit epics there is a Harivaṃśa-Purāṇa in the Apabhraṃśa language, which was written by the poet Dhavala in the 10th or 11th century. See *Hiralal*, Catalogue, pp. xlviii f., 716, 762 ff. [^2): Published in Km. 93, Bombay 1911. Earlier editions appeared in the Jaina-Śāstra-Kathāsaṃgraha and the Caritra-Saṃgraha in Ahmedabad in 1884. See *Peterson*, 3 Reports, Appendix 1, 131-134. Devaprabha is a pupil of Municandra Sūri, whose teacher was Candra Sūri, who wrote a commentary on the Āvaśyaka-Sūtra in the year 1165 A.D.; s. *Peterson*, Report IV, pp. xxvii f., lii. [^3): See *Peterson*, Report IV, 156 ff.; *Leumann* in WZKM 11, 1897, p. 306. There is also a Pāṇḍava-Purāṇa in 18 Sargas by Vādicandra, s. *Leumann*, l. c. It would certainly be worth while to compare the various Jaina versions of the Mahābhārata carefully with one another and with the old epic.
