Muni-life and emergencies. It happens, and in relation to Samantabhadra, it seems quite reasonable. For all these reasons, we say that Brahma Nemidatta's writing of 'Shivakoti' as the king of Varanasi does not seem quite right; the possibility of his existence is mostly found in Kanchi, which was the main region of Samantabhadra's residence. So be it. What Shivakoti did after becoming a disciple of Samantabhadra and what texts he composed, all this is a separate subject that relates to the character or history of Shivakoti Acharya specifically, and therefore we do not consider it appropriate to discuss it here in detail. There is no doubt that there were many other disciples of Samantabhadra besides 'Shivakoti' and 'Shivayana', but their names have not been found yet, and therefore we have to be content with the names of these two main disciples for now. Although there is no sufficient means of knowing when or at what stage of their life the 'Bhasmaka' disease arose in Samantabhadra's body, it can be said for sure that it was during their youth, when their guru was also present. Much of their excellence, much of their means of public welfare, the expansion of the influence of Syadvadatiirtha and the unique propagation of Jain rule, all this seems to have happened afterwards.
