In the *Shita*, *Shubhachanda* *Gurvawali* and the second lineage of the *Mula* (Nandi) Sangha, it is written that Prabhachandra was the *patta-shishya* of Shubhakirti, the *pra-patta-shishya* of Ratna Kirti and the *patta-guru* of Padmanandi. It is also indicated by the following verse that Prabhachandra's fame became known in the world due to his explanation of the scriptures of Pujyapada:
*Patte Shrirnatna Kirteranupmatapasah Pujyapadayashastra-vyakhya-vikhyatakirtirgunaganinidhipas Satkriyacharuchanchu. Shrimanananandhama pratibudhanutama manasandayivado 'jiyadaachandrataram narapatividitah: Shri Prabhachandradeva:*
These Prabhachandra, who were the *patta-shishya* of 'Shubhakirti' (Ratna Kirti's *patta-guru* 1), were *Vanavasi* *Amnayake*, as it is known from the *Gurvawali*. *Shravan:* In the *Gurvawali* printed in the 6th part, issue 7-8, which is *Jainhitaishi*, all this is given.
In one place in the *Gurvawali*, Shubhakirti is also mentioned as the *patta-guru* of Dharma Chandra and the *pa-guru* of Ratna Kirti; but it does not seem quite right; because it is also written about the said Dharma Chandra that he was worshipped by 'Hamir Bhupal', and the reign of Hamir (Hammir) is found to have started from 1338 or 1342 AD and lasted till 1358 AD. (See, Ancient Dynasties of India, Part 1). In such a situation, the time of Prabhachandra becomes the 15th century AD, which contradicts the time of the *pattavali* and does not seem to be in accordance with the said inscription. Because the inscription mentions Acharya 'Amarakirti' as the disciple of Shubhakirti, Prabhachandra should be almost contemporary scholars of him and the inscription also mentions two or three generations of Amarakirti. One Acharya 'Amarakirti' composed a Prakrit text called 'Shatkarmaupadesh' in 1247 AD. If these are the same Amarakirti who were the disciples of Shubhakirti, then it makes the time of these Prabhachandra even clearer.
In the *pattavalis* and *gurvawalis*, while collecting the names of the Acharyas, there must have been some confusion due to the similarity of names, and it can only be corrected by good research. But for this, there is a great need for deep study as well as the availability of resources. The society is not paying any attention to this.
