**Sarvarthasiddhi**
Devotion in Sanskrit is only in Sanskrit, the rest of the devotions are in both Sanskrit and Prakrit. Only the Prakrit Nirvanabhakti does not have a Sanskrit commentary. Further, in the next chapter, many more devotions are collected and these also have a Sanskrit commentary by Pandit Prabhachandra. It is certain that the short devotions do not have a commentary.
**84**
Regarding these devotions, Pandit Prabhachandra informs at the end of the Prakrit Siddhibhakti that all Sanskrit devotions are created by Pujyapada Swami and Prakrit devotions are created by Acharya Kundakunda. As follows:
"Sanskritah sarvah bhaktayaḥ padapujyasvamikṛtāḥ prākṛtāstu kundakundācāryakṛtāḥ." Kriyakalāpa pṛṣṭha 167
Whether all these devotions are the work of one Acharya or many, it is difficult to say for sure. Pandit Prabhachandra, who wrote the commentary on these, probably lived sometime after Panditpravara Ashadhar and before VS 1724. Therefore, on this basis, it can only be said that these were written sometime before the 14th century VS. But this statement does not determine which Sanskrit and Prakrit devotions Pandit Prabhachandra considered to be by Pujyapada Swami and Kundakunda Acharya. It is also not known who his Swami was.
So these Pujyapada...
Pandit Pannalalji Soni has written in the introduction of Kriyakalāpa that "Siddhibhakti, Śrutibhakti, Charitrabhakti, Yogibhakti, Ācāryabhakti, Nirvāṇabhakti and Nandīśvarabhakti are the seven Sanskrit devotions created by Pujyapada Swami and Prakrit Siddhibhakti, Prakrit Śrutibhakti, Prakrit Nāriṣabhakti, Prakrit Yogabhakti and Prakrit Ācāryabhakti are the five devotions created by Kundakunda Acharya." But the reason he has given for believing this cannot be said to be appropriate. Pandit Prabhachandra has only said that all Sanskrit devotions are created by Pujyapada Swami and all Prakrit devotions are created by Kundakunda Acharya, and he has also said this at the end of his commentary on Prakrit Siddhibhakti. But looking at the order in which these devotions are collected in Kriyakalāpa, the Prakrit Siddhibhakti is number two. It is possible that Soni ji, seeing the end of the chapter on Nandīśvarabhakti, made this assumption. Whatever it may be, it is clear that in the time of Pandit Prabhachandra, these devotions were considered to be by Pujyapada Swami and Kundakunda Acharya. Scholars believe that this Pujyapada Swami must be Acharya Pujyapada, because there has been no other Acharya with this name. Secondly, the uninterrupted flow and serious style of these devotions indicate this.
In all these devotions, the subject matter is discussed according to their names. Muni, Vrati, Grihastha, Devasika, etc. have been using them in a definite order during Pratikramana, which is partially in practice even today.
**5. Jainendra Grammar**
Acharya Pujyapada's most original work is his Jainendra Grammar. Why is it called Jainendra? It is difficult to decide whether Acharya Pujyapada himself liked this name. But it has been addressed by this name since ancient times, which is clear from the mention of Pandit Bopdev, the author of Mugdha Bodha:
"Indraścandrah kāśakṛtsnāpiśalīśākataayanaḥ. Pāṇigyamaranē jayantyastau ca śābdhikāḥ."
**Chatupaṭha**
It is divided into five chapters and has about 3000 sutras. Its biggest feature is the noun...
