Aachaarya Siddhaasena Divakara is one of the finest examples of a kaviprabhaavaka. His compositions were so brilliant that many kings became devotees of Jainism after reading his works. Aachaarya Siddhaasena served the cause of Jainism most effectively through his nuanced writings that appealed the masses as well as the classes.
“Kaavyarasa sudhaarasa madhur arthabharyaa dharma hetu kare jeh. Siddhaasena pare raajaa rijhave atthamavarakavi the.”
Samkitno sang muktino rang (Page 204, Author: Aachaarya Vijay Kirtiyashsurisvarji Maharaj Publisher: Sanmarg Prakashan, Ahmedabad (Gujarat), year V.S.2063 2nd edition)
Siddhaasena was such a fine kaviprabhaavaka that kings would donate their kingdoms on listening to each verse composed by him.
King Vikramaditya ascended his throne thanks to the guidance of Aachaarya Siddhaasena Divakara and ruled in a just and wise manner that raised the profile of Jainism across the land.
Thus, those who bring glory to the Jain faith through their unique skills and gifts are known as prabhaavakas.
Such prabhaavana purifies one's samykatva. It helps those who do not have samyaktva to attain samyaktva and purifies the samyaktva of those who have already attained samyaktva.
These are the limbs of samyaktva.
