## Madipuraana
A scholar named Yogirat Panditacharya wrote a Sanskrit commentary on this work, which dates back to after the 15th century Vikram. In his introduction, he wrote that once the poet Kalidasa came to the court of Amoghvarsha in Vankaapur and proudly recited his Meghaduta. In the same court, Jinsen Swami was also present with his fellow monk Vinayasen. Vinayasen urged Jinsen to destroy Kalidasa's pride. Inspired by Vinayasen, Jinsen said that this work was ancient, not an original creation but stolen. Hearing Jinsen's words, Kalidasa was enraged. He said that if the work was ancient, it should be recited. Jinsen Swami could remember any verse he heard once, so he remembered Kalidasa's Meghaduta in the same court. He said that this ancient text was in a distant village and could be brought in eight days. King Amoghvarsha ordered that the text be brought to the court on the eighth day. Jinsen returned to his place and composed Parvaabhyudaya in seven days and presented it to the royal court on the eighth day. Everyone was pleased to hear this beautiful poetic work, and Kalidasa's pride was completely destroyed. Later, Jinsen Swami clarified the whole matter.
However, upon reflection, this story seems completely fabricated. Because there is a huge difference in time between Kalidasa, the author of Meghaduta, and Jinsen Swami. Also, the mention of Vankaapur as the capital of Amoghvarsha is incorrect, as his capital was Manyakhet, and Vankaapur was the capital of Lokaditya, a vassal of Amoghvarsha's successor, Akalavarsha. It is written later that Lokaditya's father, Vankeyaras, named the capital Vankaapur after himself. It is likely that Vankaapur did not exist during Amoghvarsha's time. This story is like the one that scholars in small schools used to tell their students about Amarsingh and Dhananjaya:
"King Bhoja declared in his court that the scholar who presented the best lexicon would receive a great reward. Dhananjaya, the poet, composed the Amarakosha. One day before the presentation, Amarsingh came to Dhananjaya's house. He was his brother-in-law. Dhananjaya read his Amarakosha to him. Amarsingh was so impressed that he had his wife abduct it. When Dhananjaya found out that his lexicon had been stolen, he composed the Mammala in one night and presented it to the court the next day. King Bhoja was very impressed with the composition of Mammala and awarded him the great prize for composing the lexicon."
The scholars who fabricated this story do not consider when Amarsingh, who was one of the nine gems of Vikram, lived, when Dhananjaya lived, and when Bhoja lived. They indulge in false imaginations out of sentimentality. Moreover, the story fabricated by Yogirat Panditacharya about Parvaabhyudaya proves Jinsen's envy and tolerance of adultery, which is a disgrace for a Digambaraacharya.
Regarding the praise of Parvaabhyudaya, Yogirat Panditacharya wrote that no saint is greater than Shri Parshvanath, no villain is greater than Kamath, and no poetry is greater than Parvaabhyudaya. He wrote correctly. Professor K.B. Pathak, in his essay on Kumaril Bhatt and Bhartrhari read at the Royal Asiatic Society, said something very good about Jinsen and his poetry Parvaabhyudaya:
