Jinabhadra (520-623 AD)
Works
He restored Mahanishitha, a canonical text, in Mathura. He wrote several Prakrit texts; Brihatsangrahani, Briharkshetrasamasa, Visheshanavati, Visheshavashyaka Bhashya, Dhyanashataka, Jitkalpa Sutra and its Bhashya. Sanskrit commentary on Visheshavashyaka remained unfinished.[3]
Jinabhadra elaborated the Debate with the Gautama summoned the gods to a great sacrifice but instead they flew off to hear Mahāvīra preaching at his second samavasarana near by.[2] In fury, Gautama confronted Mahavira in debate, as did ten other brahmins in succession, with the fordmaker converting them all by a demonstration, underpinned by his claim to omniscience.[2]
