## Introduction
The **Darsanmohakhavnapatto** is a **Kammabhumijado** (a text dealing with the karmic field) and is **du** (two) in number.
**Shiyama** (the author) **sagdie** (says) **bigo** (this) **chavi** (is) **savvatha** (everywhere).

(Shatkhandaga 0, Purva 6, Samyak Churna)
The reader will themselves experience from this comparison that the **Kasayapahudu**'s **gatha** (verses) are explained in the **Shatkhandaga** **sutra** (text) in the form of a commentary.
It is clear from the above comparison that the **Shatkhandaga** **sutra** composed by **Pushpadanta** and **Bhutbali** is later than the **Kasayapahudu** and has a clear influence of the **Kasayapahudu**. From this, it is proven that both of them and their teacher **Dharasenacharya** are later than **A. Gunadhar**.
## Gunadhar and Shivsharm
**A. Shivsharm** has two texts available today, **Kammapaydi** and **Satak**. Both these texts originate from the **Mahakammapaydipahudu**, from which they are proven to be knowledgeable about a part of the **Dvitiya Purva** (second part of the Jain scriptures). When we compare the **Kammapaydi** with the **Kasayapahudu**, we see a fundamental difference between the two. The **Kammapaydi** does not discuss the 24 **anuyogadwar** (gates of knowledge) of the **Mahakammapaydipahudu**, but instead discusses topics related to **bandhan** (bondage), **udaya** (arising), **sankraman** (transition), etc. On the other hand, the **Kasayapahudu** summarizes the entire **Pejjadossapahudu** (a text on the karmic field). Thus, the author of the **Kammapaydi** is proven to have lived at a time when much of the **Mahakammapaydipahudu** had been lost. This is the reason why, at the end of both these texts, **Kamma** and **Satak** express their lack of knowledge and request the **Dristivad** (a school of Jain philosophy) scholars to purify it. However, no such statement is found at the end of the **Kasayapahudu** that clearly indicates that its author was a complete knower of the subject.
Another thing that strikes the heart from the comparison is that the **Kammapaydi** is a collection text. This is because many ancient **gatha** (verses) are found in it as they are, which confirms that it is a collection text. The author of the **Kammapaydi** himself has called it **Kammapaydi-Sangrahani** in its **Churni** (commentary), and many mentions of this name are also found in the **Satak Churni**, which are indicative of its collection nature. However, the composition of the **Kasayapahudu** is original, which cannot be hidden from any of its students. And its composition before the **Kammapaydi** is undoubtedly proven. This is the reason why, in the **sankraman** (transition) section of the **Kammapaydi**, 13 **gatha** (verses) of the **Kasayapahudu**'s **sankramanarthaadhikarya** (section on the transition of karma) are found in sequence with minor variations in the text. Their verse number in the **Kasayapahudu** is from 27 to 36, and in the **sankramanadhikarya** of the **Kammapaydi**, their number is from 10 to 22. In addition, four **gatha** (verses) of the **Kasayapahudu**'s **darsanmohopasamanaarthaadhikarya** (section on the pacification of delusion) are found in the **upshamanakaran** (pacification section) of the **Kammapaydi** with some variations in the text. Their verse number in the **Kasayapahudu** is 100, 103, 104, and 105, and in the **upshamanakaran** of the **Kammapaydi**, their number is from 23 to 26. This also proves the antiquity of the **Kasayapahudu** and the collection nature of the **Kammapaydi**.
