Future Tirthankarahood. This same verse has also been quoted by the foremost Svetambara leader, Shri Malayagiri Suri, in his commentary on 'Aavashyak Sutra', with the introductory phrase 'Aandhastutikaaro'pyaah', and in this way, Samantabhadra is indicated as the 'Aadhstutikaara' - the first or the best praiser. From these mentions, it is also found that Samantabhadra was very famous as a 'Stutikaara' and therefore, perhaps, there was no need to mention his name along with 'Stutikaara'. Why was Samantabhadra so fond of this composition of praise and why did he prefer this path? Although the simple reason may be his devotional fervor or special devotion, here, we consider it appropriate to clarify this matter further in his own words and also to reveal what Samantabhadra's feelings were about these hymns of praise and how he viewed them. You write in your 'Svayambhustotra': Stuti: Stotu: Sadho: Kushala Parinaamaaya Sa Tada, Bhavenma Va Stutyah Phalampita Tatastasya Cha Satah. Kimevam Swaadheenyaaj Jagati Sulabhe Shrayasapathe. Stuyaanattva Vidvaan Satatam Abhipujyam Namijinam. ||116|| 1. On this, Muni Jinavijayaji writes in the first issue of his 'Saahityasamshodhaak' - "It is clear from this mention that these (Samantabhadra) were considered famous praisers, not only that, but they were also considered to be the first praisers."

________________ भावी तीर्थकरत्व । इसी पद्यको श्वेताम्बराग्रणी श्रीमलयगिरिसूरिने भी, अपनी 'आवश्यकसूत्र'की टीकामें, 'आंधस्तुतिकारोऽप्याह' इस परिचयवाक्यके साथ उद्धृत किया है, और इस तरह पर समंतभद्रको 'आधस्तुतिकार'-सबसे प्रथम अथवा सबसे श्रेष्ठ स्तुतिकारसूचित किया है । इन उल्लेखवाक्योंसे यह भी पाया जाता है कि समंतभद्रकी ' स्तुतिकार' रूपसे भी बहुत अधिक प्रसिद्धि थी और इसी लिये ' स्तुतिकार के साथमें उनका नाम देनेकी शायद कोई जरूरत नहीं समझी गई। समंतभद्र इस स्तुतिरचनाके इतने प्रेमी क्यों थे और उन्होंने क्यों इस मार्गको अधिक पसंद किया, इसका साधारण कारण यद्यपि, उनका भक्ति-उद्रेक अथवा भक्तिविशेष हो सकता है, परंतु, यहाँपर हम उन्हींके शब्दोंमें इस विषयको कुछ और भी स्पष्ट कर देना उचित समझते हैं और साथ ही यह प्रकट कर देना चाहते हैं कि समंतभद्रका इन स्तुति-स्तोत्रोंके विषयमें क्या भाव था और. वे उन्हें किस महत्त्वकी दृष्टि से देखते थे । आप अपने 'स्वयंभूस्तोत्र' में लिखते हैं: स्तुतिः स्तोतुः साधोः कुशलपरिणामाय स तदा, भवेन्मा वा स्तुत्यः फलमपि ततस्तस्य च सतः । किमेवं स्वाधीन्याज्जगति सुलभे श्रायसपथे . स्तुयानत्वा विद्वान्सततमभिपूज्यं नमिजिनम् ॥११६॥ १ इसपर मुनि जिनविजयजी अपने ' साहित्यसंशोधक ' के प्रथम अंकमें लिखते हैं-" इस उल्लेखसे स्पष्ट जाना जाता है कि ये ( समंतभद्र ) प्रसिद्ध स्तुतिकार माने जाते थे, इतना ही नहीं परन्तु आद्य-सबसे पहले होनेवालेस्तुतिकारका मानप्राप्त थे।" Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
