Samantbhadra Swami.
245
He was knowledgeable in the six-part Agamas, starting with Karma, and the principles starting with Kshaya, and therefore, scholars like Dharasen, Pushpadant, Bhutbali, and Gunadhara, who were instrumental in the creation of these principles, should be considered scholars who came before him.
(2) Vibudha Shridhar did not consider Tumbuluracharya as the commentator of the six-part Agamas and other principle texts. In his Shrutavatar, he has stated that after Kundakirti, it was Shyamakund, after Shyamakund, it was Samantbhadra, and after Samantbhadra, it was Vappdev who were the commentators. As follows:
"Shyamakund, the Bhattaraka, will write a book called 'Paddhati' in all languages, containing twelve thousand verses, without the sixth part. He will also write a commentary on the sixth part, containing seven thousand verses. Samantbhadra, the Muni Indra, will be the one to extract the two types of principles. He will also write a commentary on the six-part and five-part Agamas in Sanskrit, containing sixty-eight thousand verses. Muni Sudharma will write a commentary on the second principle, as there is no purity in the substance, etc. Having heard and known about these two types of principles from Shubhanandi Bhattaraka Parsva, Muni Indra, named Vappdev, will write a commentary in Prakrit, containing eight thousand verses."
On page 192 of the history, according to other scholars, considering Tumbuluracharya and Shrivardhadeva as one person, it is stated that:
1. The word 'Adi' refers to the four Acharyas, starting with Nagahasti, mentioned here. Out of these, the name of 'Aryamanksu' is not mentioned in this 'Shrutavatar'. The third, 'Yativrishabha', is mentioned as 'Yatinayak', and the fourth, Uccaranacharya, is mentioned as 'Samudharan' Muni.
