c11.s2.2

¹ The text of the Ādi Purāṇa has been published with a Hindī translation by Lala Ram Jaina. Syādvāda Granthamālā Series, No. 4. For Jinasena, see the Ādi Purāṇa, Prasāvanā, 55-58, Uttarā Purāṇa, Praśasti, particularly, 11-12. The account of his life in the Hindī poem Jñānaprabodha, 9-17, is unreliable. See also Bakhat Rama's Buddhivilāsa. Jinasena lived from about 758 A.D. to about 848 A.D. Both he and Guṇabhadra spent most of their time in Mahārāṣṭra and Karṇāṭaka. The Harivaṃśa Purāṇa was composed at the same time by another Jinasena who is often confused with his more famous contemporary. The Vardhamāna Purāṇa and Jiṇendraguṇastuti which the author of the Ādi Purāṇa is believed to have written have not yet been recovered.
