¹³²⁰ Vide H of Dh. vol I p 354 n. 838 which shows that Hemādri had completed his section on tīrtha when he commenced the Pariśeṣa-khaṇḍa. It may be noted that the त्रिस्थलीसेतु and the तीर्थप्रकाश had the work of Hemādri on tīrtha before them. For examples, the त्रिस्थलीसेतु p 53 ‘तथा च हेमाद्रौचादिष्वोदिपुराणवाक्यानि ब्राह्मणस्यापि मरणविधायकानि, p. 55 ‘विशेषस्तु हेमाद्रीकशरीरोत्सर्गविधेरवगन्तव्य.’; the तीर्थप्रकाश pp. 122, 123, 136, 377 refer to हेमाद्रि's quotations from the स्कन्दपुराण, भविष्यपुराणं, जाबालोपनिषद् and कूर्मपुराण respectively, which unmistakably refer to *tīrthas* and p 478 speaks of तीर्थहेमाद्रि.
