Samucita (समुचित) refers to a “appropriate deity” (used in benedictory verses), according to the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 1, l. 10.]—It was customary for the writers in Saṃskṛta and Pāiya (Prākṛta) to commence their work with a salutation or benediction. This is called ‘maṅgala’. The salutation is three-fold according as the deity m question is favourite (iṣṭa), appropriate (samucita) or both. Though our author says in his commentary (p. 22) that Lord Mahāvīra is his favourite deity, he is the appropriate deity, too, as this author is not only a Jaina but a Jaina saint as well and a spiritual descendent of Lord Mahāvīra himself.
