Who written shrenik charitra
“Shrenik Charitra” (the life‑story of Raja Shrenik) is not just one single book; this title has been used by more than one Jain author.
Most commonly, when Jains say “Shrenik Charitra”, they are referring to:
- Acharya / Bhattarak Shubhachandra (or Shubhchandrav / Shubhchandra Acharya)
There are also other works with a similar name, for example:
- Hemchandracharya (a great Shwetambar acharya) – a shorter “Shrenik Charitra” type text/biography is also attributed to him in some collections.
So:
- The main, widely‑known “Shrenik Charitra” today is by Acharya Shubhachandra (Digambar tradition).
- In the Shwetambar tradition, related biographical material on Shrenik is also found, including a “Shrenik Charitra” attributed to Hemchandracharya and references in other purāṇas and charitra‑granths.
