Shrut Kevali Acharya Bhadrabahu

"Jain tradition has seen six Shrut-kevalis after Jambu Swami, the last omniscient. Shrut-kevali is one who is not an omniscient; but he is almost equal to an omniscient in knowledge because he has complete and profound knowledge of all the scriptures. Acharya Bhadrabahu was the fifth in the line of Shrut-kevalis who had complete knowledge of fourteen Purvas (the subtle canon.)
Acharya Bhadrabahu's personality was very forceful and radiant. He occupies a place of great respect in both Shvetambar and Digambar traditions. He went into the mountain ranges in Nepal and practiced the Mahapran Dhyan, a higher spiritual practice of yoga. During his time the Nanda family ruled in Magadh. He was born in Pratishthanapur in southern India in the 94th year of Bhagavan Mahavir's nirvana (376 before the Vikram era or 433 BC). When he was 45 years old he was initiated as a Jain ascetic by Acharya Yashobhadra Suri in 331 BV (388 BC). He left his earthly body in 170 ANM (300 BV or 357 BC).
The source of this confusion appears to be the similarity of names. However, based on the popular oral tradition this incident has been mentioned in the Doghatti Tika of Upadesh Mala by Shri Ratnaprabh Suri (1238 V or 1181 AD). This book is based on that story.
