________________ Hemchandracharya's Literary Accomplishment Hemchandracharya's Literary Accomplishment 0 1 Hemchandracharya's Literary Accomplishment As the rays of the sun rising above the horizon brighten all-animal life and vegetable life, dwellers and dwelling - from all directions, so the rays coming from the magnificent genius of Kalikalsarvagna Hemchandracharya brightened all aspects of contemporary life. Kalikalsarvagna Hemchandracharya pioneered the dawn of the Gujarati language. He announced the awakening of Gujarati's self-consciousness. Hemchandracharya made a matchless hallmark of Gujarat's scholarship by securing a place in the first rank of great savants from all India. In the Solanki era his comprehensive genius covered all the fields - scholarship, ruling power, public life, language, literature, culture and civilization. Should we call him a torch-bearer or a founder of new era ? Was he a great teacher with assimilating outlook or a leader awakening the dormat self-consciousness of the people of Gujarat ?Page Navigation
