Time-Decision. 173 The time decision has not been made. We only need to see here that the time propounded by Chakravarti Mahashray Kundakunda, how far it appears reasonable. As for the fact that 'Elacharya' was an alternative name of Kundakunda or not, we only want to say that as far as we have understood Jain literature, we do not know from any other text or inscription except the lineage of the Nandisangha or the Guru lineage that 'Elacharya' was an alternative name of Kundakunda. From many inscriptions etc., his other name 'Padmanandi' is available and that was his initiation time name or first name *; he became famous later as 'Kaundakundacharya', the melodious form of which became 'Kundakundacharya' and this was his country-suffix name because he was from Kondakundapur and therefore Kondakundacharya means 'Acharya of Kondakundapur'. At that time, there was a practice of such names, there were groups of monks established in many cities and villages, and the very great Acharyas among them were sometimes known by the name of that city etc. Shravan _ * As found from the following sentences of the inscriptions of Shravanabelagola Tasyanvaye bhuvidite babhuva yah padmanandi-prathamabhidhanah.

________________ समय-निर्णय । १७३ समय निर्णय नहीं किया गया है। हमें यहाँपर सिर्फ इतना ही देखना. है कि चक्रवर्ती महाशयने कुन्दकुन्दके जिस समयका प्रतिपादन किया है वह कहाँ तक युक्तियुक्त प्रतीत होता है । रही यह बात कि ' एलाचार्य ' कुन्दकुन्दका नामान्तर था या कि नहीं, इस विषयमें हम सिर्फ इतना ही कहना चाहते हैं कि जहाँ तक हमने जैनसाहित्यका अवगाहन किया है, हमें नन्दिसंघकी पट्टावली अथवा गुर्वावलीको छोड़कर, दूसरे किसी भी ग्रंथ अथवा शिलालेख परसे यह मालूम नहीं होता कि ' एलाचार्य ' कुन्दकुन्दका नामान्तर था । अनेक शिलालेखों आदि परसे उनका दूसरा नाम 'पद्मनन्दि' ही उपलब्ध होता है और वही उनका दीक्षासमयका नाम अथवा प्रथम नाम था * ; 'कौण्डकुन्दाचार्य ' नामसे वे बादमें प्रसिद्ध हुए हैं जिसका श्रुतिमधुररूप 'कुन्दकुन्दाचार्य' बन गया है और यह उनका देशप्रत्यय नाम था क्योंक वे कोण्डकुन्दपुरके रहनेवाले थे और इस लिये कोण्डकुन्दाचार्य का अर्थ ' कोण्डकुन्दपुरके आचार्य ' होता है । उस समय इस प्रकारके नामोंकी परिपाटी ,थी, अनेक नगर-ग्रामोंमें मुनिसंघ स्थापित थेमुनियोंकी टोलियाँ रहती थीं और उनमें जो बहुत बड़े आचार्य होते थे वे कभी कभी उस नगरादिकके नामसे ही प्रसिद्ध होते थे। श्रवण ___ * जैसा कि श्रवणबेल्गोलके शिलालेखोंके निम्न वाक्योंसे पाया जाता है तस्यान्वये भूविदिते बभूव यः पद्मनन्दि-प्रथमाभिधानः । श्रीकोण्डकुन्दादिमुनीश्वराख्यः सत्संयमादुद्गतचारणार्द्धः ॥ -शि० ले० नं० ४०। श्रीपानन्दीत्यनवद्यनामा ह्याचार्यशब्दोत्तरकोण्डकुन्दः । द्वितीयमासीदभिधानमुद्यच्चरित्रसंजातसुचारणार्द्धः ।। -नं. ४२,४३,४७,५०। Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
