The Life of Haribhadra About Haribhadra's life, we possess very few facts from the g as or subscriptions of his own works. The most detailed subscription is that of his commentary on आवश्यकसूत्र which is as follows:
समाप्तेयं शिष्यहिता नामावश्यकटीका । कृतिः सिताम्बराचार्यजिनभटनिगदानुसारिणो विद्याधरकुलतिलकाचार्यजिनदत्तशिष्यस्य धर्मतो याकिनीमहत्तरासूनोरल्पमतराचार्यहरिभद्रस्य ॥
The subscriptions of tha's other works do not add to our knowledge any more details of his life than these.
Other things that we know directly are (1) the mark fare in the ending stanzas of his numerous works; (2) his extensive knowledge of other non-Jain systems of philosophy and especially Buddhism as evinced by his commentry on दिङ्नाग's न्यायप्रवेश ( Ed. by A. B. Dhruva G. 0. S. )
(1) प्रभाचंद्र' प्रभावकचरित्र । शृंग. ९. | V. S. 1334 ( Nirnaya Sagar Press, Bombay ).
(2) राजशेखर's प्रबंधकोष or चतुर्विंशतिप्रबंध V. S. 1505. ( Forbes Sabha, Bombay. )
