## Introduction to the Text
**207**
This text is said to be equivalent to the words of Mahavira Bhagwan. From this, readers can understand the great importance of this text. Unfortunately, this text is not yet available. It is unknown in which repository it is hidden, or if it still exists. There is a great need for its immediate research.
## Tattvanushasan
In the list titled "Digambar Jain Authors and their Texts," one of the texts attributed to Samantabhadra is "Tattvanushasan." The "Jain Granthavali" published by the Shwetambar Conference also lists "Tattvanushasan" as a work of Samantabhadra, and further states that it is mentioned in a private report of Seth Bhagwandas Kalyan Dasji of Surat, who was employed by Mr. Peterson. Several other scholars, while introducing Samantabhadra, have also included "Tattvanushasan" in his list of works. Thus, there is some evidence of the existence of this text. However, this text is not yet available. Even after examining the lists of many famous repositories, we have not been able to find out where this text is located. Nor have we been able to definitively ascertain from any scriptural texts, etc., whether Samantabhadra actually wrote a text with this name. Nevertheless, it is believed that such a text by Samantabhadra must exist. Research has revealed that this "Tattvanushasan" is different from the one by Ramasen, which is printed in the Manikchand Granthamala under the name "Nagesen."
**1** The name "Nagesen" is a mistake. In reality, the text was written by Ramasen, a disciple of Nagesen. We had proven this point in an article published in the Jain Hitesh in July 1920.
