## Introduction
**Syanupapatteh**. According to the principles of scriptures and the way it is explained, 'Astasahasri (page 2). Vidyananda and Akalankadeva have also coordinated this exposition and their statement in the same Astasahasri (page 3) and in this way they have established the authenticity of their exposition by making it traditional. (d) 'Mokshamargasya Netaram' is the Mangalacharan of the Tattvarth Sutra.
Where it is proven by the above mentioned references of Vidyananda and Akalankadeva that Swami Samantabhadra's Aptmimamsa was written in the commentary of the 'Mokshamargasya Netaram' etc. stotra, it is also clear from the same references of Vidyananda that he considers the said stotra as the Mangalacharan of Tattvarth or Tattvarthshastra. And by Tattvarth or Tattvarthshastra, he means the Dashadhyayi Tattvarthsutra composed by Acharya Giddhapiccha. There has been enough speculation and detailed discussion about this elsewhere. But some scholars, misinterpreting the meaning of Vidyananda's above mentioned references, attribute it to the work of Pujyapada-Devanandi, the author of Sarvarth Siddhi.
1. (a) How can Tattvarth be a scripture, if the supreme being is worshipped at its beginning? Because it is the characteristic of the scripture. "That is the Tattvarth scripture, which is in the form of Dashadhyayi." - Tattvarth Sutra (page 2). (b) "Thus, the Muni-Indra is the subject of the stotra at the beginning of the Tattvarthshastra." - Aptmimamsa 124. (c) When the Tattvarth, which is divided into ten chapters, is read, the result of fasting is spoken by the Muni-Pungava.
2. "Mangalacharan of Tattvarthsutra" - Title of the author's two articles, Anekanta Varsh 5, Kiran 6-7, 10-11.
3. "Mokshamargasya Netaram, Who is the author, Pujyapada Devanandi?" - Title of the article, Muni Hazarimala Smriti Granth, page 563.
