of Vardhamana-svami the kevalis having acquired riddhi (supernatural power),

Dramila-sangha, was Patrakesari-svami. After him, Vakragriva. After him,
the head of the gam, Vajranandi. After him, Sumati-bhattaraka. After him,
a lamp to the Jina samaya (etc.), was Akalanka After him, Chandrakirttibhattaraka.

guru of the Pallava king. After him, Paravadimalla-deva. After him,
Kanakasena Vadiraja-deva. After him, Srivijaya-bhattaraka, guru to Butuga-
Permraadi, the sun to the lotus of the Ganga-kula. After him, the emperor
Jayasimha-Deva's guru, Vadirajendra, through whom Sugata lost his reputation

Arhan-maiaf After him, the guru of the head-jewel of the Yadava race, Ereyanga-Deva,

an emperor of logicians, called Vadibhasimha (a lion to the elephant disputants),
was the distinguished munindra Sripala-yogtsvara, who since the
half of the avasarppmi (had passed), filled full the rivers of all learning with
floods from the Jina clouds all over the earth and cleaied away the ignorance

opponents, who can describe?
