________________ Kural and has dealt with Moksha somewhere else and that is what is narrated in five main scriptures of Kundakunda Acharya given earlier. However, all the Jain Scholars are not of the same opinion. Some are of the opinion that Acharya Kundakunda had only one more name - Padmanandi. In their opinion, Ela Acharya, Griddhapichcha and Vakragreeva are not the names of Shri Kundakunda Acharya. Since Kural has been written by somebody else named Ela Acharya who is different from Kundakunda Acharya, Kural's author is not Kundakunda Acharya. But majority of the scholars are of the opinion that Kural is a Jain composition and its author is Kundakunda Acharya whose other name was Ela Acharya.
