गुणादिपरिचय।
छाया पड़ी हुई थी-आपका यश चूडामणिके तुल्य सर्वोपरि था और वह बादको भी बड़े बड़े विद्वानों तथा महान् आचार्योंके द्वारा शिरोधार्य किया गया है । जैसा कि, आजसे ग्यारह सौ वर्ष पहलेके विद्वान् , .. भगवजिनसेनाचार्यके निम्न वाक्यसे प्रकट है
कवीनां गमकानां च वादीनां वाग्मिनामपि । यशःसामन्तभद्रीयं मूर्ध्नि चूडामणीयते ॥ ४४ ॥
-आदिपुराण । भगवान् समंतभद्रके इन वादित्व और कवित्वादि गुणोंकी लोकमें कितनी धाक थी, विद्वानोंके हृदय पर इनका कितना सिक्का जमा हुआ था और वे वास्तवमें कितने अधिक महत्त्वको लिये हुए थे, इन सब बातोंका कुछ अनुभव करानेके लिये नीचे कुछ प्रमाणवाक्योंका उल्लेख किया जाता है
(१) यशोधरचरितके कर्ता और विक्रमकी ११ वीं शताब्दीके विद्वान् महाकवि वादिराजसूरि, समंतभद्रको ' उत्कृष्टकाव्य माणिक्योंका रोहण (पर्वत.) सूचित करते हैं और साथ ही यह भावना करते हैं कि वे हमें सूक्तिरूपी रत्नोंके समूहको प्रदान करनेवाले हों
श्रीमत्समंतभद्राद्याः काव्यमाणिक्यरोहणाः ।
सन्तु नः संततोत्कृष्टाः सूक्तिरत्नोत्करप्रदाः॥ (२) — ज्ञानार्णव ' ग्रंथके रचयिता योगी श्रीशुभचंद्राचार्य, समंतभद्रको 'कवीन्द्रभास्वान् ' विशेषणके साथ स्मरण करते हुए, लिखते हैं कि जहाँ आप जैसे कवीन्द्र सूर्योंकी निर्मल सूक्तिरूपी
समझानेमें प्रवीण हो उसे 'गमक' कहते हैं । निश्चयात्मक प्रत्ययजनक और संशयछेदी भी उसीके नामान्तर हैं।

## Introduction to Qualities

Your fame, like a jewel on the crown, was supreme and has been revered by great scholars and great Acharyas even after your time. As evidenced by the following verse from the learned Bhagavajinaseenacharya, who lived eleven hundred years ago:

> "Among poets, storytellers, debaters, and eloquent speakers, the fame of Samantabhadra is like a jewel on the crown." (44) - Adipurana

To give you some idea of the impact of Samantabhadra's debating skills, poetry, and other qualities on the world, here are some examples:

(1) Vadirajsuri, the author of Yashodharacharita and a scholar of the 11th century, refers to Samantabhadra as the "mountain of excellent poetic jewels" and expresses the sentiment that he is the one who provides us with a collection of jewels in the form of verses.

> "May the excellent Samantabhadra and others, the mountains of poetic jewels, always be with us, providing us with a collection of jewel-like verses." (2) - Jnanarnava

(2) Yogi Shubahchandracharya, the author of the Jnanarnava, remembers Samantabhadra with the epithet "Kavindra-Bhaswan" (Sun among poets) and writes that those who are proficient in explaining things clearly are called "Gamakas." "Nischyatamak" (conclusive), "Pratyayajanak" (generating conviction), and "Sanshayachedi" (dispeller of doubts) are other names for the same.
