Saṃmatā (संमता) refers to the commentary on Saṃmatiprakaraṇa, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 116, l. 13]—Here by “sammatā” we are to understand the commentary on Saṃmatiprakaraṇa. Haribhadra has looked upon the vyākhyā and the vyākhyeya as non-distmct as has been done by Kṣamāśramaṇa Jinabhadra Gaṇī m v 1 of Visesā. For, here he has used ‘Āvassaya’ m the sense of ‘Āvassayanijjutti’. This point is discussed by Maladhārin Hemacandra Sūri in his commentary (p 3) on Visesā. [...] Another example is furnished by v. 61 of Jīyakappabhāsa.
