Jambū-jyoti
Having considered the sins committed either in this birth or in the past existences, by the term , Haribhadra sūri also has stated to undergo the expiatory purification in the form of 172166on. After having stated this, he has inserted a prose section of the first sūtra of the Pañcasūtra and thereafter Upādhyāya Yaśovijaya has offered its explanation in his own style.
In the aforementioned Sanskrit sentences, Yaśovijaya clearly has stated 44faeigu HTET TEE SER44ffput, but not frecuentaqat or
E l. This is a noteworthy point. This indicates that Yasovijaya may have possessed some credible tradition wherefrom a clear conviction of attributing the authorship of the Pañcasūtra with assuredness to Haribhadra sūri could be had.

He had a firm conviction that the author of the Pañcasūtra is Haribhadra sūri and for that reason he has employed such a phrase. From this testimony, too, it can be deduced that Haribhadra sūri is the author of the Pañcasūtra.
4. Farla, ustech, 3780, 591204, fafgeht, 1910—such titles available in the domain of Jaina literature are thanks to the special predilection of naming the works; it is, moreover, characteristic of Haribhadra sūri alone. Any other author might have entitled the work as पञ्चसूत्र or पञ्चसूत्री. The name पञ्चसूत्रक may flash in the understanding of only Haribhadra sūri. While offering guidance regarding the etymological interpretation of the term FC, Munirāja Jambūvijaya has observed as under : "The title of the work written by Ācārya Haribhadra sūri is 499
