Provenance1913, purchased from the library of Pujya Kripa Rishi [1], a Jain yatti, Patti, Panjab by Ananda Coomaraswamy (b. 1887 - d. 1947); 1917, sold by Ananda K.

Notes:
[1] According to Hīrālāl Duggaṛ, Yati Kripa Rishi was the last yati on the yati seat (gaddī) of the Uttarādha Loṅkā Gacch (also known as Lāhaurī Uttarādha Loṅkā Gacch) in Paṭṭī. Duggar gives no dates for his life. The Lāhaurī Uttarādha Loṅkā Gacch was the dominant lineage among Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjak Jains in the Panjab from the 16th until the early 20th century. His samādhi exists in Paṭṭī in the necropolis called Jain Samādhi Pūjya Śrī Vasant Ṛṣi Jī Mahārāj.
