Swami Samantabhadra.
-The author's statement about the time of Dharmabhushan does not seem to be accurate. He has given the time of Dharmabhushan as around 1600 AD, but his Nyayadipika was written in Saka Samvat 1307, as Professor K.B. Pathak has stated in his essay based on 'South Indian Inscriptions Volume 1, page 156'. In this situation, you should have given the time of Dharmabhushan as 1385 AD or 'around 1400'; but instead of doing so, you have declared Dharmabhushan a scholar from 200 years before his actual time and written that he wrote Nyayadipika around 300 years ago (instead of 532)! This clearly shows that Vidyabhusanji did not make any special effort to find out the correct time of the Jain scholar, and therefore his statement on this subject, which is not accompanied by any special arguments, does not seem to be very credible. In many places, it appears to be very misleading. Readers will have a better understanding of how misleading your statement about the existence of Samantabhadra is in the future. Siddhasena and Nyayavtar.
