Swami Samantabhadra.
And the words spoken by him, using the metaphor of 'vajraankush', were not found unpleasant by the people.
One special characteristic of Samantabhadra's words was that they were weighed in the balance of Syadvad Nyaya, and therefore, the ghost of bias never got to ride on them. Samantabhadra himself was a proponent of examination, he did not like clinging to any belief at all, he even examined Bhagwan Mahavir and only then accepted him as 'apt'. He also advised others to be proponents of examination - his constant teaching was that one should not accept any principle or theory without examination, just because others say so, but rather one should examine it thoroughly with strong arguments. One should find out its merits and demerits and then accept or reject it. In such a situation, he never tried to force any of his principles down the throats of others or to put them on their heads. He gave scholars the full opportunity to openly consider self-other principles with an impartial view. His constant declaration was that one should not look at any object from only one side - from only one side, but one should look at it from all sides and from all perspectives, only then can one have true knowledge of it. Every object has many dharma or limbs - this is why the object is anekantaatmak - to present the object entirely in the form of one of its dharma or limbs is ekant; and this ekantvad is mithya, kadagraha, opposed to tattvajnan, adharma and anyaya. Syadvadnyaya is the negation of this ekantvad.
