Topic: Bhattaraka

	Bisapanthis
		The bhattaraka is peculiar to the Digambaras and stands between the ascetic and the layman.
		Bhattarakas probably started as the heads of groups of naked monks when maths, monasteries, were built beside temples from about the fifth century CE.
		It was thus on the bhattaraka issue that the Digambaras split into two equal sections, the Bisapanthis who are followers of the bhattarakas and the Terapanthis who do not believe in the bhattarakas.

	The Emergence of Kundalpur Tirtha
		While Bhattaraka Mahendrakirti may not have been the person to discover or rebuild the Kundalpur temple, it does seem that he was responsible for transforming Kundalpur into a major tirtha.
		It is possible that Bhattaraka Mahendrakirti was a pupil of this Surendrakirti, who had arrived with his guru but had stayed in Garhakota-Kundalpur area to fill the vacuum created by the decline of the Chanderi bhattarakas.
		Further research is needed to identify the predecessor and the successors of Bhattaraka Mahendrakirti with certainty.

	Shri Humbaj Tirth
		The present Bhattaraka of Humcha who bears the title Devendrakirthi Swamigal was traditionally chosen by his predecessor and installed in 1971 at the age of twenty- two.
		He is both an able conservator of Jaina traditions and values as well as an enterprising innovator in fields such as education and social welfare, and he is one of the as yet small number of Jainas who take an active interest in making Jainism better known in the world.
		When death approaches, the custom prevails that a Bhattaraka will discard his three pieces of clothing, so that he may die the death of an ordained monk, that is naked.

	Panchastavi - A Brief Study
		Some say that it is the composition of a devotee named Laghu Bhattaraka, hence the sub-title Laghustava will mean a panegyric composed by Laghu, a diminutive from Laghu Bhattaraka.
		Bhattaraka or Bhattara is an appellation of respect or esteem joined with the names of either very learned Brahmins or Kings, its diminitive Bhattah still survives as a generic name for Kashmiri Pandits.
		In south no such practice is in vogue perhaps with the exception of Kumarilla Bhatta; so Laghu Bhattaraka seems also to be a Kashmiri Brahmin; 'Laghu' taken as an adjective would mean 'quick witted' or one who was so proficient as to give the minutest details Laghava (noun) about the Supreme Energy.
