## Introduction
Samantbhadra, like the Sad-Asadvada, also expressed his views on the one-sided doctrines of Advaita-Dvaita, Shashvata-Ashashvata, Vaktavya-Avaktavya, Anyata-Ananyata, Apeksha-Anapeksha, Hetu-Ahetu, Vigyan-Bahrirth, Daiv-Purushartha, Pap-Punya, and Bandha-Moksha-Karanavada. He established Syadvada by applying the Saptabhangi (seven categories) to these doctrines. In this way, he provided thinkers with the Syadvada perspective (method of philosophical inquiry) and played a significant role in resolving the intellectual conflicts of his time. He also created the necessary elements for philosophy, elevating Arhat philosophy not only to the level of other philosophies but also making it glorious.
The elements he created and provided to Jain philosophy are as follows:
1. The self-illuminating characteristic of proof.
2. The concept of the non-sequential and sequential aspects of proof.
3. The description of the direct and traditional fruits of proof.
4. The subject of proof.
5. The nature of Nay.
6. The nature of Hetu.
7. The nature of Syadvada.
8. The nature of the spoken.
9. The nature of the speaker.
