स्वामी समन्तभद्र।
कोई दूसरा प्रसिद्ध विद्वान् हुआ भी नहीं। इस लिये उक्त शंका निर्मूल जान पड़ती है। हाँ, यह कहा जा सकता है कि समंतभद्रने अपने मुनिजीवनसे पहले इस ग्रंथकी रचना की होगी । परंतु ग्रंथके साहित्य परसे इसका कुछ भी समर्थन नहीं होता । आचार्य महोदयने, इस ग्रन्थमें, अपनी जिस परिणति और जिस भावमयी मूर्तिको प्रदर्शित किया है उससे आपकी यह कृति मुनिअवस्थाकी ही मालूम होती है । गृहस्थाश्रममें रहते हुए और राज-काज करते हुए इस प्रकारकी महापांडित्यपूर्ण और महदुच्चभावसपन्न मौलिक रचनाएँ नहीं बन सकती । इस विषयका निर्णय करनेके लिये, संपूर्ण ग्रंथको गौरके साथ पढ़ते हुए, पद्य नं० १९,७९ और ११४ * को खास तौरसे ध्यानमें लाना चाहिये । १९ वें पद्यसे ही यह मालूम हो जाता है कि स्वामी संसारसे भय-भीत होने पर शरीरको लेकर ( अन्य समस्त परिग्रह छोड़कर ) वीतराग भगवान्की शरणमें प्राप्त हो चुके थे, और आपका आचार उस समय ( ग्रंथरचनाके समय ) पवित्र, श्रेष्ठ, तथा गणधरादि अनुष्ठित आचार जैसा उत्कृष्ट अथवा निर्दोष था । वह पद्य इस प्रकार है
पूतस्वनवमाचारं तन्वायातं भयाद्रुचा ।
स्वया वामेश पाया मा नतमेकाच्यशंभव ॥ इस पद्यमें समन्तभद्रने जिस प्रकार 'पूतस्वनवमाचार'+और 'भयात् ४ तन्वायातं' ये अपने (मा'मां' पदके ) दो खास विशेषण पद दिये
* यह पद्य आगे 'भावी तीर्थकरत्व ' शीर्षकके नीचे उद्धृत किया गया है। ____ + 'पूतः पवित्रः सु सुष्टु अनवमः गणधराद्यनुष्ठितः आचारः पापक्रियानिवृत्तिर्यस्यासौ पूतस्वनवमाचार: अतस्तं पूतस्वनवमाचारम् '-इति टीका ।
x भवात् संसारभीतेः । तन्वा शरीरेण ( सह ) आयातं आगतं ।

Swami Samantabhadra.
There has been no other famous scholar. Therefore, the said doubt seems to be unfounded. Yes, it can be said that Samantabhadra must have composed this book before his monastic life. But there is no support for this from the literature of the book. The Acharya, in this book, has displayed his culmination and the emotional form, from which your work seems to be of the monastic state. Such profound and highly emotional original compositions cannot be made while living in the household and doing royal work. To decide on this matter, while reading the entire book with attention, verses no. 19, 79 and 114 * should be brought to mind especially. From the 19th verse itself, it becomes known that Swami had become a refuge of the Vitrag Bhagwan, taking the body (leaving all other possessions) when he was afraid of the world, and your conduct at that time (at the time of writing the book) was pure, excellent, and as excellent or flawless as the conduct of the Ganadharas etc. That verse is as follows:
Puta-svanavamacharam tanvayatam bhayadrucha.
Swaya Vamesha paya ma natamekaachyasambhav || In this verse, Samantabhadra has given two special adjectives of his own (the words 'ma' and 'mam') in the form of 'Puta-svanavamachar' + and 'bhayat 4 tanvayatam'
* This verse is quoted further under the heading 'Future Tirthankar'. + 'Putah pavitrah su sustu anavamah ganadharadyanusthitah aacharah papakriyanivrittir yasya sau putah svanavamacharah -iti tika.
x Bhavat sansarbhiteh. Tanva shareeren (sah) ayatam agatam.
