Samantbhadra, the revered one.
Whose unyielding strength, the creator of the infallible mantra of Syatkara, is the embodiment of pure and unwavering wisdom, the source of auspicious signs. May the Jain community, blessed with unwavering fortitude, be guided by the words of Samantbhadra, the source of diverse achievements.
This speech, fueled by the unwavering commitment to Ekant, a powerful antidote to the poison of ego, continuously nourished by the nectar of Anekanta, flows forth, guided by the principles of Pramana, spreading its influence across all realms. May it lead all to the pure and unblemished teachings of the Muni.
In these eight thousand verses, great masters like Shri Vidyānanda, who authored numerous significant works like Aṣṭasahasrī, Āptaparīkṣā, Pramāṇaparīkṣā, Satyaśāsanaparīkṣā, Śloka Vārttika, Śrīpurapārśvanāthastotra, and Jinaikaguṇa Saṃstuti, have praised the words of the pure-minded Shri Samantbhadra Muni in various ways. They have described it as possessing unyielding strength, the creator of the infallible mantra of Syatkara, pure and unwavering wisdom, the source of auspicious signs, a powerful antidote to the poison of ego, continuously nourished by the nectar of Anekanta, and guided by the principles of Pramana. They have also stated that this speech grants diverse achievements and benefits all beings.
The statement "I praise this speech, the source of all auspicious achievements," further supports this, as Patrakeśarī is another name for Vidyānanda. The Devāgama Stotra of Samantbhadra transformed the life of Patrakeśarī, making him a highly influential scholar.
