It has been reported that while traveling, a Tattvārtha was composed in Pāṭaliputra. The following ideas emerge from this.
1. During the time of Umāsvāti, Jain monks must have been extensively traveling in Magadha, and there must have been a significant strength and attraction of the Jain community towards that region.
2. The Jain monks, as authors of specific scriptures, were also preserving the tradition of their father's irregular settlement, thereby turning their father's lineage into a "Jagama Vidyalaya."
3. The place of residence for traveling was Pāṭaliputra (Patna), and it should not be very far from the birthplace of Nyādhika in Magadhadesha.
4. The commentators of Tattvārtha are present in both the Śvetāmbara and Digambara sects, but the difference between the two is that, apart from the original sutras, it seems that no other prominent scholar has written a direct commentary on them except for the founder of the sutras, Umāsvāti; whereas all the Digambara authors have written commentaries on the sutras by their teachers. Many scholars from the Śvetāmbara sect have provided commentaries on the critical sections of the sutras, whereas it is known that no prominent Digambara scholar has authored a commentary on them. Among the commentators of both sects, there are certain distinguished scholars whose positions could be significant within Indian philosophy. Therefore, a brief introduction to such specific commentators is intended to be provided here.
