The names Jina and Jinasuta occur in a verse present in some of the MSS and editions of the Hṛdaya, but are rather often replaced by Śiva and Śivasuta (Ci.19.98).¹⁴³ Indu’s Śaśilekhā proves that he read Jina and Jinasuta and interpreted these figures in a Buddhist vein. Candranandana was acquainted with the readings Jina and Jinasuta, but comments, nevertheless, that Śivasuta is Śrīgaṇeśa.¹⁴⁴ Aruṇadatta read Śiva and Śivasuta, which may mean that the original names were finally changed.
