नगीन शाह पद्मसुन्दर के अप्रकाशित ज्ञानचन्द्रोदयनाटक का सम्पादन पाटण की एकमात्र हस्तप्रत से करते हैं। नाम के विपरीत यह नाटक नहीं, पाँच अंकों में जैन दर्शन के ३९८ संस्कृत पद्य हैं, जो कुन्दकुन्द के निश्चयनय का अनुसरण करते हैं। पद्मसुन्दर अकबर से सम्मानित थे। Nagin Shah edits the unpublished Jnanacandrodayanataka of Padmasundara from a single Patan manuscript. Despite its name it is not a drama but 398 Sanskrit verses on Jaina philosophy in five ankas, following Kundakunda's niscaya-naya. Padmasundara was honoured by Akbar; his library passed to Hiravijayasuri.
