Swami Samantabhadra.
Four, 4 Abhikṣṇajñānopyoga, 5 Samvega, 6 Śaktitstyāga, 7 Śaktitstap, 8 Sādhusamādhi, 9 Vaiyāvṛtyakaraṇa, 10 Arhadbhakti, 11 Ācāryabhakti, 12 Bahuśruta bhakti, 13 Pravacanabhakti, 14 Āvśyakāparihāṇi, 15 Mārgaprabhāvanā and 16 Pravacanavatsalatva, these sixteen qualities were mostly present - your soul was inspired by their high and deep feelings - because, for the sake of Darshanavishuddhi, these very qualities are mentioned in the Agam as the cause of the 'Nāmakarma' of the 'Tīrthankara Prakriti' named 'Mahāpuṇyaprakriti' * . The nature of these qualities is explained in detail in many commentaries of the Tattvārthasūtra and many other texts, so there is no need to explain them here. However, it must be mentioned that along with Darshanavishuddhi, Samantabhadra's 'Arhadbhakti' was very high, it had reached a very high level of development. It did not have any place for blind faith or superstition, quality knowledge, quality pleasure and simplicity of heart were its foundation, and therefore it was completely pure and flawless. By the power of this pure devotion, Samantabhadra seems to have become so powerful, brilliant and virtuous. He himself had experienced this, and that is why he writes at the end of his 'Jinastuti-Śataka'
* See, the 24th sūtra of the sixth chapter of the Tattvārthādhigama Sūtra, and the following verse of its 'Śloka Vārtika' commentary -
Viśuddhadayo nāmnastiṛthakṛtvasya hetavaḥ |
Samstā vyastarūpā vā dṛgviśuddhyā samanvitāḥ ||
