210 Swami Samantabhadra. We do not wish to say anything. However, we can definitely say that if any grammar text written by Swami Samantabhadra is available, it will be a matter of great pride for the Jains. Shri Pujyapada Acharya has also mentioned the opinion of Samantabhadra in his 'Jainendra Vyakaran' through the sutra 'Chatustayam Samantabhadrasya', which makes it not at all unnatural for a grammar of Samantabhadra to be available. 9 Pramanapadartha | The list of the 'Paduvastibhandar' of Moodbidri reveals that there exists a Sanskrit text named 'Pramanapadartha' written by Samantabhadracharya there and its verse count is 1000. Along with this, it is also written about its subject that it is incomplete. It is not known whether this verse count is along with its commentary or is the extent of the original itself. If the extent of the incomplete original is this much, then it should be said that this is the largest text among the available original texts of Samantabhadra, and being on the subject of Nyaya, it holds great importance. It is also not known how this text is incomplete - whether some of its leaves are lost or the author could not complete it. Without seeing it, nothing can be said about all these things*. However, we definitely want to say that if 1 This list is present in the 'Jain Siddhanta Bhavan' of Ara. * To know the necessary things about this text, two letters were given to Pandit Lokanathji Shastri of Moodbidri. In response to one letter, he had also promised to have the text looked at and provide sufficient information about it, but it is not known what happened due to which he could not give us any further information. If we had received answers to our questions from Shastriji, we could have been able to introduce this text well to the readers. For Personal & Private Use Only

________________ २१० स्वामी समन्तभद्र । कुछ भी कहना नहीं चाहते । हाँ, इतना जरूर कह सकते हैं कि स्वामी समंतभद्रका बनाया हुआ यदि कोई व्याकरण ग्रंथ उपलब्ध हो जाय तो वह जैनियोंके लिये एक बड़े ही गौरवकी चीज़ होगी । श्री पूज्यपाद आचार्यने अपने ‘जैनेंद्र व्याकरण' में 'चतुष्टयं समंतभद्रस्य ' इस सूत्र के द्वारा समन्तभद्रके मतका उल्लेख भी किया है, इससे समंतभद्र के किसी व्याकरणका उपलब्ध होना कुछ भी अस्वाभाविक नहीं है । ९ प्रमाणपदार्थ | मूडबिद्रीके 'पडुवस्तिभंडार' की सूची से मालूम होता है कि वहाँ पर प्रमाणपदार्थ ' नामका एक संस्कृत ग्रंथ समंतभद्राचार्यका बनाया हुआ मौजूद है और उसकी लोकसंख्या १००० है । साथ ही, उसके विषयमें यह भी लिखा है कि वह अधूरा है । मालूम नहीं, ग्रंथकी यह श्लोकसंख्या उसकी किसी टीकाको साथ लेकर है या मूलका ही इतना परिमाण है । यदि अपूर्ण मूलका ही इतना परिमाण है तब तो यह कहना चाहिये कि समंतभद्रके उपलब्ध मूलग्रंथोंमें यह सबसे बड़ा ग्रंथ है, और न्यायविषयक होनेसे बड़ा ही महत्त्व रखता है । यह भी मालूम नहीं कि यह ग्रंथ किस प्रकारका अधूरा है— इसके कुछ पत्र नष्ट हो गये हैं या ग्रंथकार इसे पूरा ही नहीं कर सके हैं। बिना देखे इन सब बातोंके विषय में कुछ भी नहीं कहा जा सकता * । हाँ, इतना जरूर हम कहना चाहते हैं कि यदि १ यह सूची आराके 'जैनसिद्धान्त भवन' में मौजूद है । * इस ग्रंथ के विषयमें आवश्यक बातोंको मालूम करनेके लिये मूडविद्रीके पं० लोकनाथजी शास्त्रीको दो पत्र दिये गये । एक पत्रके उत्तरमें उन्होंने ग्रंथको निकलवाकर देखने और उसके सम्बन्धमें यथेष्ट सूचनाएँ देनेका वादा भी किया था, परंतु नहीं मालूम क्या वजह हुई जिससे वे हमें फिर कोई सूचना नहीं दे सके । यदि शास्त्रीजीसे हमारे प्रश्नोंका उत्तर मिल जाता तो हम पाठकों को इस ग्रंथका अच्छा परिचय देनेके लिये समर्थ हो सकते थे । For Personal & Private Use Only Jain Education International www.jainelibrary.org
