स्वामी समंतभद्र। तभद्रकी वचनप्रवृत्ति, परिणति और स्याद्वादविद्याको पुनरुज्जीवित करने आदिके विषयमें ऊपर जो कुछ कहा गया है अथवा अनुमान किया गया है वह सब प्रायः ठीक ही है।
नित्यायेकान्तगर्तप्रपतनविवशान्प्राणिनोऽनर्थसार्थादु- नेतुमुच्चैः पदममलमलं मंगलानामलंध्यं । स्याद्वादन्यायवर्ती प्रथयदवितथार्थ वचःस्वामिनोदः, प्रेक्षावत्वात्प्रवृत्तं जयतु विघटिताशेषमिथ्याप्रवादं ॥
-अष्टसहस्री। इस पद्यमें, विक्रमकी प्रायः ९ वीं शताब्दीके दिग्गज तार्किक विद्वान्, श्रीविद्यानंद आचार्य, स्वामी समंतभद्रके वचनसमूहका जयघोष करते हुए, लिखते हैं कि स्वामीजीके वचन नित्यादि एकान्त गोंमें पड़े हुए प्राणियोंको अनर्थसमूहसे निकालकर उस उच्च पदको प्राप्त करानेके लिये समर्थ हैं जो उत्कृष्ट मंगलात्मक तथा निर्दोष है, स्याद्वादन्यायके मार्गको प्रथित करनेवाले हैं, सत्यार्थ हैं, परीक्षापूर्वक प्रवृत्त हुए हैं अथवा प्रेक्षावान्-समीक्ष्यकारी-आचार्य महोदयके द्वारा
१ वस्तु सर्वथा नित्य ही है, कूटस्थवत् एक रूपतासे रहती है-इस प्रकारकी मान्यताको 'नित्यैकान्त' कहते हैं और उसे सर्वथा क्षणिक मानना-क्षणक्षणमें उसका निरन्वयविनाश स्वीकार करना-'क्षणिकैकान्त' वाद कहलाता है। 'देवागम' में इन दोनों एकान्तवादोंकी स्थिति और उससे होनेवाले अनर्थोंको बहुत कुछ स्पष्ट करके बतलाया गया है ।
२ यह स्वामी समन्तभद्रका विशेषण है । युक्त्यनुशासनकी टीकाके निम्न पद्यमें भी श्रीविद्यानंदाचार्यने आपको 'परीक्षेक्षण' (परीक्षादृष्टि ) विशेषणके साथ स्मरण किया है और इस तरह पर आपकी परीक्षाप्रधानताको सूचित किया है
श्रीमद्वीरजिनेश्वरामलगुणस्तोत्रं परीक्षेक्षणैः साक्षात्स्वामिसमन्तभद्रगुरुभिस्तत्त्वं समीक्ष्याखिलं । प्रोक्तं युक्त्यनुशासनं विजयिभिः स्याद्वादमार्गानुगैविद्यानन्दबुधैरलंकृतमिदं श्रीसत्यवाक्याधिपैः ॥

Swami Samantabhadra. What has been said or inferred above regarding the nature of T(h)abhadra's pronouncements, their culmination, and the revival of Syadvada knowledge is mostly correct.
"Bound by the fatalistic view of eternalism or annihilationism, beings are destined for a heap of misery. The pronouncements of the Lord, who is the proponent of Syadvada logic, are capable of leading them to that supreme, immaculate, and auspicious abode, free from all blemishes. His pronouncements, based on examination and insight, are true and vanquish all false doctrines." - Ashta Sahasri. In this verse, Sri Vidyānanda Ācārya, a towering logician of the 9th century CE, celebrates the pronouncements of Swami Samantabhadra, writing that his words are capable of rescuing beings trapped in the extremes of eternalism and annihilationism from a heap of misery and leading them to that supreme, immaculate, and auspicious abode, free from all blemishes. They are the proponents of Syadvada logic, true in meaning, and based on examination and insight. They vanquish all false doctrines.
1. The belief that everything is eternally unchanging and remains in one form like a fixed object is called "eternalism," while the belief that everything is momentary and perishes every moment is called "annihilationism." The Devagamas clearly explain the nature of these two extreme views and the misery they lead to.
2. This is a description of Swami Samantabhadra. In the following verse from the commentary on Yuktyanusasan, Sri Vidyānanda Ācārya also remembers you with the epithet "parikshekshana" (one who examines), thus indicating your emphasis on examination.
"The glorious virtues of the Lord Jina have been examined in their entirety by the Guru Swami Samantabhadra, who is a master of examination. This Yuktyanusasan, adorned by the wise Vidyānanda, who follow the path of Syadvada, has been declared by the lords of truth."
