The sixth century AD was famous as Haribhadra's Yug in Jaina tradition. His compositions of 1444 granthas are precious gems among Jaina philosophy. He added new vision to Patanjali's Ashtanga yoga and called it Yogadrasti. He showed the difference between Ohgdrasti and Yogadrsti elucidating eight visions of Jaina yoga. In his time, discourses in debates and succeeding them was considered very prestigious. Haribhadra was born in a Brahmana family at Chitor (Raj.) and was a Rajpurohita of the king. He had pledged that if he was unable to understand any sloke spoken by any scholar then he would became his or her disciple.
One day when he was walking through Chittor, he came across a very furious elephant. The keeper tried his best to control him but the animal instead threw him down. Haribhadra saw the angry elephant running directly towards him and immediately took shelter in a nearby Jaina temple. When the elephant left the area, he stepped out of the temple premises and passed through Sadhviji's Upashraya. There one of the aged lady ascetic named Yakini Mahattara was reciting a verse about Chakravartis, which he could not comprehend. According to his pledge, he approached the sadhviji, very politely asked for its explanation and requested to accept him as her disciple. Sadhviji repeated the sloke with the meaning and simultaneously replied that a Jaina sadhvi couldn't accept a male pupil and so took him to their Acharya Jinadattasuriji.
Now Haribhadra became Jinadatta's disciple and not only learnt that sloke but compared the Jaina, Vedic, Sankhya, etc. darshanas i.e. all Indian Philosophy. He studied the Agamas and learned the depth of Jaina philosophy. His guru bestowed upon him the Acharya title and later on he gained more popularity. Many people became his disciples. Once two of his pupils Hansa and Paramhansa asked for his permission to study Buddhism in a monastery in disguise. Haribhadra didn't approve of it but agreed when they persisted much as both were his sister's sons. Unfortunately, their secret was revealed and they had to run away from the monastery. Before they could reach home, they were caught and killed by Buddhists. This cruelty was difficult to tolerate by Suriji as he was most powerful in all aspects. He challenged them to a debate in the royal court with the condition that whoever loses would be put to death. His violent attitude was transformed by Guru Jinadatta and Yakini Mahattara. Harbhadrasuri realised his attachment with the two children and forgave the Buddhists. To atone, Guru advised him to enlighten people to right faith. He wrote 1444 books on Jainism like commentaries on Anga Agamas, Yoga, Dharma, Anekanta, etc.
