Swami Samantabhadra.
Not much is known about him; hence, no introduction could be provided here.
## 2 Yuktyanusasan...
This work of Samantabhadra is also very important and unique, and each verse is full of profound meaning. In it, through a system of hymns, the merits and demerits of one's own and other doctrines are described in a concise manner, using 64 verses. Each topic is presented with great skill, using strong arguments. This text is a means of seeking truth for the inquisitive and was written with this main objective in mind, as was already made clear in the introduction to Samantabhadra, based on one of his verses. Shri Jinaseanacharya has described it as equivalent to the words of Mahavira Bhagwan. So far, only one beautiful Sanskrit commentary by Shri Vidyānandaācārya is available on this text, and it has also been published in the "Manikchand-Granthamala". The following introductory sentence of this commentary suggests that this text was written after "Aapta Mimamsa":
"Shrimat Samantabhadra Swami, after the Aapta Mimamsa, by the other yoga separation, not established by the Bhagavan Shrimat Arhata Antya Tirthankara Paramdeva, examined me and asked, "What do you want to do?"
* In the first fascicle of the "Sanatan Jain Granthamala" published in 1905, the number of verses in this text is given as 65, but this is a mistake. The verse titled "Stotre Yuktyanusasane" at number 40 is a verse of the commentator, not of the original text. And due to the wrong numbering of the verses in this text published in the Ma. Granthamala, the number 65 appears.
