The editor says that before Pūjyapāda the great sage Samantabhadra had unequalled learning in every subject, mastering logic and doctrine, and composed a work called Siddhānta Rasāyana Kalpa of eighteen thousand verses; today it has become food for insects, though verses found here and there could easily be collected to two or three thousand. Being devoted to non-violence, the ācārya used Jain technical terms and gave codes to match, so it must be interpreted with Jain doctrine in mind.

Why it is kept for review: Jain medical tradition (Samantabhadra's medical work).
