Bhaktamar Stotra ki rachna Acharya Manatunga (Mantunga) ne ki thi. Yeh Jain dharm ki ek bahut prachin Sanskrit stotra hai jo Adinath (Rishabhanatha) ki stuti mein likhi gayi hai. Digambar kehte hain ki is stotra ke 48 shloka hain, jabki Śvetāṁbar tradition ke mutabik 44 shloka hote hain (4 verses baad ki interpolated ya extra verses mante hain). isliye sankhya thodi alag ho sakti hai, par mool rachna Manatungan ki hi mani jati hai. ( en.wikipedia.org, jainpedia.org)

Kuch aur saaransh:

• Bhaktamar shabd “Bhakta” (bhakt) aur “Amar” (amar) se milkar bana hai, yaani bhakt ki amar bhakti ki stuti.
• Is stotra ki rachna ki kahani prachin Bharuch/Harsh rajya se judi hai, jahan Acharya Mantunga par 44 ya 48 taale toot-te-teot ke kadam se likhi gayi kahani jodi jati hai. Śvetāmbara aur Digambara dono is stotra ko apnaate hain, par shabhavit sankhya me antar hota hai. ( jainpedia.org, en.wikipedia.org)
