Introduction of works of Shri Gautam Swami
Ganini Gyanmati Mataji

Chaityabhakti etc. works are compositions of Shri Gautam Swami, see its proof- Shri Prabhachandracharya says in the beginning of Chaityabhakti-

“Shri Vardhmanswaminam” pratyakshikrit gautamswami stutimaah - Gautam Swami seeing Vardhman in person, having first sight of him, says while eulogizing him-

“Jayti Bhagan-etc.” Commenting on Daivsik Pratikraman (i.e. Expiatory recital for the faults of the day) Shri Prabhachandrachaaraya says-

'''“Shri Gautamswami mueenaam dussamkaale dusparinaamaadibhih pratidin mupaarjitasya karamno vishuddhayartham pratikramanlakshanmupaayam viddhaanastadaadau manglaarthmistdevtaavishesham namaskaroti- Shrimate Vardhmaanaaya namo”,''' etc.

It is clear from these quotations that these compositions have come out from the mouth of Shri Gautamswami. The original compositions of Shri Gautamswami are four:-

1 Shri Chaityabhakti, 2 Daivsik Pratikraman,

3 Pakshik Pratikraman,

4 Shravak Pratikraman.

Out of these, the Chaityabhakti is independent.

Again, 9 compositions have been quoted from three compositions-

1 Kratikarama vidhi (Siddhbhakti), 2 Nishidhika Dandak,

3 Padikkamaami Bhante!,

4 Veer Bhakti

These four compositions have been quoted from Daivsik Pratikraman.

5 Gandharvalaya Mantra,

6 Sudam me Aaussanto (Shravak Dharma),

7 Sudam me Aaussanto

8 Ichchaami Bhante!

(Muni Dharma)

These four compositions are quoted from Pakshik Pratikraman

9 Ekaadas Pratima.

This composition is quoted from Shravak Pratikraman.
