From the first edition:
* *Antardhvani* The thought arose in the mind of Dharasenacharya, who lived in the caves of Girinagar (Girnar region), that if the present Shruta is not written down, its tradition will be broken, due to the fear of the passage of time. As a result, he sent a letter to the Sadhus present at the Yatisammelan in Mahimangari, saying, "My age is declining, so please send two intelligent Sadhus to me, to whom I can teach the Makaprabhutganthama that is within me; otherwise, that knowledge will be lost after me." The Munis present at the Yatisammelan in Mahimangari greatly honored Dharasenacharya's letter and sent two intelligent Sadhus towards Girinagar. These two Sadhus are known as Pushpadanta and Bhootbali.
Upon reaching Girinagar, Dharasen tested the intelligence of both Sadhus and made them study Satkarma Prabhut. After the study, they composed the scriptures. These compositions of Acharya Pushpadanta and Bhootbali became famous as Jivatthana, Khuddabandh, Bandhasamittvichya, Veyanakhand, Vagganakhand, and Mahabhand. The above six chapters together are called Shatkhandagabha. Virasenaswami wrote a commentary on them called Dhavala. Nemichandraacharya had practiced these six chapters very well. He himself wrote in Karmakanda:
"Jah chakkena ya chakki chakkhand sahiyam avigghen.
Tah mai chakkena maya chakkhandam sahiyam sammam." ||367||
Meaning: Just as a Chakravarti, with his Chakra Ratna, conquers the six regions of Bharat Kshetra without any obstacles, in the same way, I have conquered the Parmagam, including the six chapters, with my Chakra Ratna of intellect.
Nemichandraacharya was a famous Acharya of the Deshiyan gana. He has mentioned Acharya Voranandi, Abhayanandi, Indranandi, and Kanakanandi with great reverence as his Gurus. See some examples:
"Jassa ya payapasayena nanta sansarjalahamuttieno.
Virindanandivachcho namami tam abhayanandi gurum." ||K.Ka. 436||
Meaning: I bow to Abhayanandi Guru, whose grace has enabled Viranandi and Indranandi to cross the ocean of infinite Samsara.
