775 Siddhasena is also mentioned at 15.290. This Siddhasena is, according to Jyoti Prasad Jain (1950: 133), either the Digambara guru who lived in the early centuries of the Christian era (Siddhasena I), or the Siddhasena Divākara (Siddhasena II) who belonged to about the sixth century. See on three Jain authors called Siddhasena, and a fourth one, called Siddhasena-gaṇi: Jyoti Prasad Jain (1964): 150–151, 164–166, 183–184, 184. Siddhasena-gaṇi is by some regarded as identical with Siddhasena I (see A.K. Chatterjee, 1978: 327). See on Siddhasena Divākara, the author of the Nyāyāvatāra (about A.D. 480–550), and Siddhasena-gaṇi, the author of a commentary on Umāsvāti's Tattvārthādhigamasūtra (A.D. 600): J.N. Farquhar (1967); S.Ch. Vidyabhusana (1971): 173–181 and 182. See also on Siddhasena Divākara: A.K. Chatterjee (1978): 327; H. von Glasenapp (1964): 106–107; Ph. Granoff (1988): 63–64, (1989), (1990); *Ch. Krause (1948); O. Lacombe in L. Renou and J. Filliozat (1953): 663–664; Winternitz II, 340–341. H. von Glasenapp (1964: 106–107) remarks that the Nyāyāvatāra presupposes knowledge of Dharmakīrti's Nyāyabindu, which implies that it cannot be earlier than the seventh century.
