They have not given names from Sudharma to Shyamacharya / It is also known from the study of the Pattavalis that there have been three Acharyas named Kalkacharya. One died in 376.44 The second Kalkacharya, who destroyed the Gardhabhilla, came. His time is 453.45 The third Kalkacharya, who celebrated the Sanvatsari Mahaparva on Chaturthi instead of Panchami, his time is 993.46 In these three Kalkacharyas, the first Kalkacharya is known as 'Shyamacharya'. He was the Mahavak Acharya of his time. He was born in 280 (190 BC). He renounced the world and accepted Shraman Diksha in 300 (170 BC). He was twenty years old at the time of his initiation. On the basis of his great merit, he was adorned with the post of Yuga Pradhanacharya in 335 (135 BC). In these three Kalkacharyas, the first Kalkacharya, who is also called Shyamacharya, introduced his vast scholarship by composing a huge sutra like Prajnapan.48 From the point of view of Anuyoga, Prajnapan is under Dravyanuyoga. The entire Shraman-Sangha accepted Prajnapan as Pagam. This Acharya is a symbol of Shyam's pure policy and heartfelt faith. His name was Shyam, but due to the worship of the purest character, he was the owner of a very bright synonym / His twenty-third place is not in the Patta-Parampara in the Pattavalis. The last Kalkacharya is not the author of Prajnapan, because Nandisutr, which was composed before 993, has given Prajnapan a place in the Agam-Suchi / Therefore, now we have to think about which of the first and second Kalkacharyas is the author of Prajnapan? Dr. Umakant believes that if both Kalkacharyas are considered one, then the Shyamacharya mentioned on the eleventh Pat and the Kalkacharya who destroyed the Gardhabhilla king, both are one. In the Padavali, where they are counted separately, even there the date of one is 376 and the date of the other is 453 / If you look at it, there is a difference of 77 years between them. Therefore, whoever composed Prajnapan, whether the first or the second or both are one, it can be said for sure that the Kalkacharya (Shyamacharya) who was before Vikram was / 44.
