Acharya Manatunga (c. seventh century CE) was the author of the Jain prayer Bhaktamara Stotra. His name only appears in the last stanza of the said prayer. He is also credited with composing another Śvetāmbara hymn titled Namiun Stotra or Bhayahara Stotra, an adoration of Parshvanatha.
According to a Digambar legend, Manatunga composed the Bhaktamara Stotra when he was locked up in prison for failing to appear before the royal court of King Bhoja. A Śvetāmbara legend as stated in the 14th century text Prabandha-Chintamani says that he was locked up to test the mantric powers of Śvetāmbara Jain monks. As he composed each stanza of the Bhaktamara Stotra, the 44 (Śvetāmbara tradition) or 48 (Digambara tradition) locks of his chain were broken one by one.
