"Those who are foolish, arrogant, and devoid of Jain Dharma, who engage in baseless arguments, should be abandoned by those who are devoted to silence. The author of this text has praised gods, gurus, scriptures, and temples in many places. This reveals their extraordinary devotion to Jain Dharma. They had immense respect for Jainism in their hearts. As it is said:
"One should console the sick, the suffering, and those who have taken refuge in Jain Dharma with kind words and gestures."
While the author of this text shows aversion to other religions and affection for Jain Dharma, it is unclear why they are being falsely accused. This only proves that this text obstructs the selfish desires of certain individuals. Therefore, to clear their path, they first resort to these deceptions. Our examination of the text reveals that the author had immense devotion to Jain Dharma and avoided irrelevant topics. People, for their own selfish gains, accuse them of being against the caste system.
**The Authenticity of the Text**
We have no doubt about the authenticity of this text. If the topics discussed were not in accordance with Jain principles and contradicted their teachings, then there might be reason to doubt its authenticity. The foundation of this text is based on ancient Puranas. The topics discussed in this text are also found in the works of those whose writings the author has referenced. In fact, the topics of this text are found in the Agamas compiled by the Rishis, sometimes in brief and sometimes in detail. Therefore, we find no lack of authenticity or contradiction with the Agamas in this text. However, those who are unfamiliar with the caste system, unable to follow it, and have no connection to its tradition, will be shocked upon seeing the topics discussed in this text. Those who consider the caste system a mere sham will undoubtedly call this text deceitful and written by a charlatan. Those whose minds are offended by the very names of Bhattaraka and the three-fold caste system will surely accuse it of being inauthentic and contradictory to the Agamas. There is no doubt about this.
Those who consider the Puranas like Padma Purana, Harivansh Purana, Maha Purana, and Yasastilakachanmpu, the mantra scriptures like Vidyaanuvaad, Vidhaanushasan, Bhairavapadmavatikalp, and Jwalamalini Kalp, the worship scriptures like Indranandi Pratiṣṭhāpāṭha, Vasunandi Pratiṣṭhāpāṭha, Ashadhar Pratiṣṭhāpāṭha, Nemichandra Pratiṣṭhāpāṭha, and Akalank Pratiṣṭhāpāṭha, the ethical texts like Ratnakaranḍaka, Moolaachaar, Aachaarsar Dharmaamrit, the scriptures on the organization of the universe like Trilokprajnapti and Triloksar, and every single topic of Jain Dharma as inauthentic and false, will naturally consider this text inauthentic and deceitful.
When even those who claim to be Jains, not to mention non-Jains, consider Jain Dharma, a religion that promotes well-being, as false, it is not surprising that those who disregard this ordinary text can be found in this world!"
