Jain Politician Shrimad Hemchandracharya.

Shrimad Hemchandra Acharya. (1088-1173)

Born in Dhandhuka.Gujarat.

Parents:  Chachadev and Pahini.

Guru:      Acharya Devsuri.

Hema-Shabda-Anusasana is his work on emphasis on grammar and chhanda.

As per Prabhavak-charita he composed 3.5 million shloka.

"Bhavbijaskurajanana ragadayah kshaymupagata yasya; Brahma va Vishnurva haro Jino va namastasmai."

Meaning,

"I am bowing down to that god, who has destroyed the passions like attachment (Rag) and hatred (Dwesh) which are the cause of worldly life, whether he is Brahma, Vishnu, or Jina."

Hemchandra had predicted seven years earlier that Kumarpal would be the king of Gujarat.  The acharya had once saved Kumarpal's life. Therefore, Kumarpal considered Hemchandra his spiritual Guru and benefactor.

Kumarpal gave him the exceptional honor and sought his advice in the shaping of his kingdom in Gujarat. In a very short time, Gujarat became a center of non-violence, learning, and good culture at Patan.

The principal ingredients of the religion according to him are:

An ultimate distinction between "living substance" or  jiva and  a-jiva, the doctrine of anek-antavaha, or non-absolutism, the doctrine of naya, the thesis that there are many partial perspectives from which reality can be determined, none of which is, taken by itself, wholly true, but each of which is partially so,  and the doctrine of karma,  a substance, rather than a process, that links all phenomena in a chain of cause and effect.

As a consequence of their metaphysical liberalism, it developed a unique theory of seven-valued logic, according to which the three primary truth values are "true," "false," and "indefinite," and the other four values are "true and false," "true and indefinite," "false and indefinite," and "true, false, and indefinite."
