However, the tājika text best known to the scholarly world because of the studies of Weber¹⁴¹ is the immensely valuable nibandha, the Hāyanaratna,¹⁴² composed by Balabhadra for Shāh Shujā‘ at Rājamahala in 1629. Like the same author’s Horāratna, it is a vast collection of excerpts from earlier writers’ works. As well as most of the authorities that we have already mentioned Balabhadra cites from Tejaḥsiṃha and Padmanābha. The former is probably the Tejaḥsiṃha¹⁴³ who composed a Daivajñālaṅkṛti in Gujarāt in 1336, the latter the Padmanābha¹⁴⁴ who is the author of an Hillājāyurdāya, of which the oldest dated manuscript was copied in 1699.
