260 R.K. Jain (1981): 87. V.P.P. Śāstrī (1984: 391) mentions two commentaries, called Bālabodha and Stavaka. The Collection Puṇyavijayaji (Nrs. 100 and 101) contains three MSS of a commentary called Bālabodha and three MSS of a Stabaka. Compare STMI 79–80: the author of the Stabaka is Narasimha; some MSS contain a Gujarātī translation of the Yogacintāmaṇi, called Bālabodha and written by a Narasimha. See also JAI 119 on these commentaries: the Bālabodha, in Gujarātī, was written by the Jain monk Ratnajaya who was probably called Narasimha when he was still a gṛhastha; it dates from the second half of the seventeenth century; the Ṭabbā, i.e., Stabaka, is identical with the Bālabodha.
