Samantabhadra was a Digambara acharya (head of the monastic order) who lived about the later part of the second century CE.[1][2] He was a proponent of the Jaina doctrine of Anekantavada. The Ratnakaranda śrāvakācāra is the most popular work of Samantabhadra. Samantabhadra lived after Umaswami but before Pujyapada.
