The fruit of the statement regarding the author of the so-called Jain philosophical texts is evident in the works of Acharyas like Umaswami. According to this fruitful meaning, we can say that, in Vidyananda's perspective, Umaswami is indeed the author of some text concerning Jain principles. Although this text may be considered Tattvarthadhigama Sutra from Vidyananda's standpoint, the implication does not directly arise from the aforementioned statement without additional grounds. Thus, we can gather from Vidyananda's previously mentioned assertion that Umaswami must have certainly composed a work on Jain philosophy.
The previously mentioned second statement regarding the Tattvarthadhigama Sutra points towards the first mukti (liberation) related aphorism, which has been established in the inference discourse. In this inference-discourse, the subject of the aphorism is the description of the path to liberation, the conclusion being the product of Sarvajnaviitaraga, and the aphorism is the means thereof. In this regard, while dismissing the defect of misapplication, Vidyananda states "by this." The defect of misapplication can potentially exist in a different context. The subject is indeed the Tattvartha text concerning the path to liberation; therefore, it's necessary that the Sutras concerning individual monks up to the Gṛdhrapiccha are considered distinct from the perspective of Vidyananda's first aphorism concerning the path to liberation of Umaswati. This matter is such that a practitioner of the study of logic would likely find it hardly comprehensible. From Vidyananda's perspective, he conceives the Sutra as a facet, but it is conceptualized differently in terms of misapplication, prompting him to state after addressing this defect that "in the original Sutra" refers to the liberation-related Sutra posited by Umaswami. The term "original," that is, as referenced here, indicates Umaswami's aphorism related to the path to liberation. While addressing the defect of non-establishment, he attributes to the Sutra a "natural" qualification, while he does not assign this qualification in addressing the defect of misapplication, and he does not state that misapplication does not occur in the facet of the Sutra; instead, he clearly states that misapplications do not appear in the Sutras of monks up to Gṛdhrapiccha. All this undoubtedly indicates that Vidyananda perceives Umaswami and Gṛdhrapiccha as distinct rather than one. One argument that reinforces this implication is that if Vidyananda indeed considers Gṛdhrapiccha and Umaswami to be inseparable...
