Kumudendu Muni (Kannada: ಕುಮುದೆಂದು ಮುನಿ) was a Digambara Acharya (philosopher monk) who authored Siribhoovalaya, a unique multi-lingual literary work. Scholars are divided about when he lived and not much is known about him. It is believed that he was the spiritual teacher of King Amoghavarsha and a disciple of Virasena and Jinasena.[1] He is said to have lived around thousand years ago. Pandit Yellappa Shashtri was the first one to decipher his creation, Siribhoovalaya.[2] Karlamangalam Srikantaiah, the editor of the first edition, claims that the work may have been composed around 800 AD.[3]
