[1][3] His work Astasati, a commentary on Aptamimamsa of Acharya Samantabhadra deals mainly with jaina logic.

He is the author of Tattvārtharājavārtika, a commentary on major Jain text Tattvartha Sutra.

He greatly contributed to the development of the philosophy of Anekantavada and is therefore called the "Master of Jain logic".

[6] He was aware of the contents of the Angas, although it cannot be said whether they represent an idea rather than a reality for him, and he also seems to have been the first Digambara to have introduced as a valid form of scriptural classification the division into kalika and utkalika texts which was also employed by the Śvetāmbaras.

[6] The samadhi of Acharya Akalanka is located between Thurupammor and Karanthai villages, at a distance of 19 km from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.
