## Introduction
The only literary tradition composed by them is a ray of light that breaks through this darkness and illuminates the path of righteousness. On the one hand, to call everything except the soul and the absolute soul-related emotions, even the relative emotions residing in the soul, as "other," and on the other hand, to point out the acceptance of clothes and utensils as the path of individual freedom, what else can be said except that it is a mere irony of knowledge? We firmly believe that a religion that proclaims the independent existence of every individual and rejects the dominance of external authority by negating theism can never advocate the acceptance of clothes and utensils as a necessary part of the path to liberation. If Acharya Kundakunda has clarified any fact, it can only be this. Some scholars believe that he had a singular insistence on nudity and that this was emphasized in the Jain tradition only after him. But it seems that they want to change the direction of Jain philosophy through this accusation. In Jain philosophy, the consideration of an object is based solely on individual freedom, therefore, what else can be the path to its attainment except self-reliance? The acceptance of other substances by an individual is due to his fickleness and passions. It cannot be that an individual accepts clothes and utensils and is also considered free from attachment both externally and internally. It is clear that Acharya Kundakunda, by declaring nudity, has advocated the same path that the infinite Tirthankaras have been showing since time immemorial. Such great Acharya's works like Samayaprabhuta, Pravachansara, Panchaastikaya, Niyamasara, Dvadasha Anupreksha and Ashtabhuta etc. are available at present. Acharya Pujyapada has made full use of this literature, which is well known from the web of Sarvarthasiddhi. Acharya Pujyapada has quoted ten such verses, out of which one verse is available in Panchaastikaya, one verse in Niyamasara, three verses in Pravachansara and five verses in Dvadasha Anupreksha. We have shown in the commentary at those places which chapter of those texts these verses belong to.
## Mulaachar
Mulaachar is the first text that advocates the conduct of monks, accepted in the Digambara tradition. Its author is Acharya Vattkeera. Our fellow scholar, Pandit Heeralaalji Shastri, has interpreted "Vattkeera Acharya" as "Vartka Elaacharya" and has inferred Acharya Kundakunda as its author. His 2-3 articles on this subject have been published in this year's Anekanta, which present a new direction of thought. But it does not seem possible to reach the conclusion from those articles that Acharya Kundakunda has given it a concrete form. In Mulaachar, there is a chapter named Dvadasha Anupreksha. Acharya Kundakunda has independently composed the "Barah Anupekkha" text. At least this suggests that the author of the Mulaachar text should be Acharya Vattkeera, not Acharya Kundakunda. Viraseen Swami has mentioned it as Aachaarang in Dharala Tika and has quoted a verse from it. Here, Acharya Pujyapada has also given two verses of it in Sarvarthasiddhi.
## Panchasangrah
Panchasangrah holds a very important place in the Digambara tradition. In this regard, we had shed light in the preface of the Shwetambara Granthasaptatika, expressing the possibility that its compilation had already taken place before the Shwetambara Panchasangrahkartaa Chandrashimhattar. Two verses of it have also been quoted by Acharya Pujyapada in Sarvarthasiddhi. This indicates that it is very likely that the compilation of the Digambara tradition-accepted Prakrit Panchasangrah took place before Acharya Pujyapada. Now this text has become available and has come to light. Acharya Amitagati has compiled the Sanskrit Panchasangrah based on this.

Acharya Pujyapada himself has written "Jainendra Vyakaran" and on it, the Nyasa of...
