Explaining the prevailing beliefs in the Shvetambara tradition is currently a road taken. Among the six points raised above, the first and foremost point refutes the connection between Kundakund and the Digambara acknowledged Umaswati. There is not a single name that appears in the many names of Kundakund, which is cited by Umaswati as his teacher and initiation guru. Therefore, the notion that there was a guru-disciple relationship between Kundakund and Umaswati regarding knowledge and initiation has no place. Furthermore, in the mentioned commendation, it is clearly stated that Umaswati was to be in the reader's perspective and was in the Uchchhānagar branch, while Kundakund is associated with the Digambara belief of being in the confluence of rivers; and it is yet to be known if any branch of Uchchhānagar has emerged in the Digambara tradition. Therefore, if Umaswati is indeed considered a disciple of Kundakund in the Digambara tradition, the belief that he composed the Tattvārthādhigama Shastra seems to be based on limited and insecure grounds. The third point in the said matters refutes the possibility of Umaswati’s relationship with Shyamaacharya in the Shvetambara tradition.
