Paternal and Guru lineage. The king was, and therefore, you should consider Uragapur as your birthplace or childhood playground. In the 'Rajavali Kathe', your birth is written in the village of 'Utvatika', which is probably within Uragapur itself. This Uragapur seems to be the Sanskrit or euphonious name of 'Uraiyoor', which was the most ancient historical capital of the Chola kings. Old Trichinopoly is also called the same. This city was situated on the banks of the Kaveri, was a port, and at one time was a very prosperous region. Samantabhadra created a work rich in ornamentation called 'Stutividya' or 'Jinastuti Shatam', also known as 'Jinshatak' or 'Jinshatakalankaar'. The last verse of this work, called 'Gatvakastutameva', is a pictorial poem that carries the name of the poet and the poem. From the pictorial composition of this poem, which has six arrows and nine rings, these two verses emerge: 'Santivarmakritam', 'Jinastuti Shatam'. These clearly indicate that this work was created by 'Santivarma', and therefore, 'Santivarma' is another name for Samantabhadra. However, this name cannot be from his monastic life; because monks do not have 'Varmanta' names. It seems that this is the name given by the learned Acharya's parents, etc. 1. The great poet Kalidasa also mentions this city by the name 'Uragapur' in his 'Raghuvansha'. 2. This name is found in the initial invocation of the work, in the pledge statement 'Stutividyam Prasadhaye'. 3. See the 'Jinshatak-Tika' by the great poet Narasimha.
