Svayambhustotra byJain monk,AcaryaSamantabhadra is the adoration of twenty-four tirthankaras. Its five shlokas (aphorisms) adore the qualities ofAbhinandananātha.[6] One suchshloka is:
By constantly feeding the body to subdue inflictions like hunger, and by indulging in transient pleasures of the senses, neither the body nor the soul remains unscathed. Such deeds thus benefit neither the body nor the soul; O Lord Abhinandananātha, you had thus expounded the true nature of reality.[7]
Abhinandananatha is associated with Ape emblem, Piyala tree, Yakshesvara and NayakaYaksha, and Vajrasrinkala and KalikaYakshi.[8]
