Notes
- Abstract:
- Chronicle of the line of succession from Mahāvīra’s disciple Sudharman, No. 1, to Jñāna, No. 61, continued by a line of succession of the Loṅkāgaccha from No. 62, Bhāṇā, to No. 69, Jīva Ṛṣi, who was succeeded by Varasiṃha, the likely author or teacher of the author of this paṭṭāvali. It is said that at the time of Varasiṃha the “Nāgaurī Loṅkā Gaccha” was established as a separate group from the “Gujarātī Loṅkā Gaccha,” the line represented by Jīva, who was initiated in Surata, and Varasiṃha. The paṭṭāvali also records that the paṭṭadhara No. 66, Saravo, once was a minister of Akbar. The bhāsa, or poem, was composed by Jinadatta Ṛṣi, who may have been a disciple of Vrasiṃha. It records the names of a father Dhanamala and a mother Raṅgade, belonging to the Vāgareca Kula, of an unnamed monk, maybe of Jinadatta himself.

- General Note:
- "Literary Heritage of the Aniconic Jaina Tradition" collects, transliterates and publishes important, yet unstudied manuscripts pertaining to the history, doctrine and religious culture of the Lonkagaccha Jaina traditions in India. A comprehensive survey of the heritage of this historically influential tradition is an urgent, yet to be accomplished task. The Lonkagaccha is an aniconic religious tradition that emerged and flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries. It had a significant impact on the religious and social history of Jainism, but declined from the 18th century onward. Today it is on the verge of extinction, while the aniconic Sthanakavasi and Terapanth traditions, which branched off the Lonkagaccha lineages in the 17th and 18th centuries, continue to thrive.
