## Introduction to the Great Maharshis
Maharshis (Great Sages) of the 30th (century)
**Mahattarshriji** composed the sixth Karmagranth (text on Karma). He composed commentaries (avachuri) on all of them. All these commentaries are yet to be published.
**Kshetra Samas Aavchurn:** Poo.A. Shri Somatilkasuriji Maharaj composed a new Kshetra Samas Granth (text on Kshetra Samas). He composed a small commentary on it in the form of Aavchurn. This text is also unpublished. A manuscript of this text is available, written in Vikrama Samvat 1480, which includes a eulogy.
**Vasotika Vitanda Vidamban Prakaran:** This chapter was composed to refute some of the views of the scholars of the Anchalgachchh. Looking at the evidence, arguments, references, and style of presentation in this text, one can see their immense mastery over the Panchaangi Siddhanta (five-fold theory) along with their knowledge of Agama, Bhashya Nirukti (commentary interpretation), Churn (summary), and Tika (commentary). This text is also known as Anchalmat Nirakaran (refutation of Anchal views).
**Pardarshan Samuchchay, Tark Rahasya Deepika Tika:** Poo. Suri Purandar Shri Haribhadrasuriji Maharaj composed a great text called Pardarshan Samuchchay. The author composed an extensive and detailed commentary on 87 karikas (verses) of this text in six chapters, rendering a great service.
Looking at all these observations, it is clear that he was a shining star of the Soma Yug (era). Even today, the light of his brilliance is being experienced by the Jain community. We offer our repeated salutations to his life, which was rich in knowledge and other virtues.
