The disciple 'Chandragupta' has been in the lineage. Apart from this, Jayasenacharya, in the commentary on Panchastikaya, where the composition of the original text for Shiv Kumar Maharaj is stated, has also written that Kundkund is the disciple of 'Kumoranandisiddhantadeva'; this made it even more necessary to clarify the position of Jinachandra, which Chakravarti Mahashaya did not do.
In such a situation, the time proposed by Chakravarti Mahashaya for Kundkund does not seem safe, certain and readily acceptable, and therefore, the time of Samantabhadra cannot be determined on its basis. If somehow this time (1st century Vikram) of Kundkund is proved to be correct, then the time of Samantabhadra can be considered 50-60 years behind it.

Here it seems appropriate to reveal further that at the end of 'Bodhapraabhrut' a verse is found as follows
x For example, see the part of the 40th Shi. inscription of Shravanabelagola which has been quoted in the 'Pitrikul and Gurukul' section, or the following part of the 108th Shi. inscription
Tadeeya- Shishyo'jani Chandragupta: Samgra- Sheelanata - Devavrudha. Viveshayattivratapasprabhaava- Prabhutakiritibhvvanantaraani ||
Tadeeyavanshakarata: Prasiddhadabhuudadosha Yatiratnamala |

These Kumaranandicas also do not have any support from anywhere.
