The sixth 'Grihastha Samantabhadra' lived around the 17th century Vikram era. He was the nephew of Grihasthacharya Nemichandra, who authored the treatise 'Pratiṣṭhātilak', also known as 'Nemichandra Samhita' or 'Nemichandra Pratiṣṭhāpāṭha', which was introduced in the Jain Hitaishi of April 1916. This treatise mentions Samantabhadra as a lover of literature and states that he was among those who requested Nemichandra to write the aforementioned treatise. It is possible that the treatise 'Pūjāvidhi', listed in the 'Digambar Jain Granthakarta aur Unke Granth', was written by him.
(2) The name of Acharya Samantabhadra, the author of Ratnakaraṇḍaka, is not accompanied by the words 'Laghu', 'Chikk', 'Gerusoppé', 'Abhinava', or 'Bhaṭṭāraka', nor is another name of his, 'Māghanandī', mentioned anywhere in the treatise. Rather, throughout the treatise, including the commentary, his name is accompanied by the word 'Swami', a title that was particularly bestowed upon the author of 'Devāgama' and signifies his great prestige and extraordinary importance. Great Acharyas and scholars have often remembered him with this (Swami) epithet, and it seems so ingrained with Bhagavan Samantabhadra that it has become almost a part of his name. This is why many great scholars and Acharyas, in numerous places, have mentioned him only by using the term 'Swami' instead of his name. This clearly indicates the immense fame of Acharya Mahādeva as 'Swami'.
