The emphasis on nakedness in the Digambara sect, which expresses extreme insistence on this principle, is a result of 200-300 years. It is unlikely that all the literature considered to be ancient Digambara, which today is based on this sentiment, could ever be clarified. The ancient texts related to the country and local traditions have gained so much prestige in the Shvetambara tradition that they have naturally been accepted in the Digambara tradition. It is possible that texts such as "Mulachar" and others were entirely embraced by the Shvetambara tradition, while such texts would hardly maintain their position in the Digambara tradition.
The eulogy does not mention the lineage of Umaswati; however, the name "Vasi," which indicates a maternal connection, is included, and "Kabhiṣaṇa" is also a term suggesting a particular lineage. This lineage indicates that Umaswati belonged to the Brahmin family of the "Ganasthana." To say this would hardly seem incorrect from the perspective of a scholar focused on the genealogical tradition related to the Brahmin lineage. The reader is directed to the place "Nyadhika" as Umaswati's birthplace in the eulogy; the location of Nyadhika, its history, and its current status are all shrouded in mystery, making uncovering it a fascinating subject. The eulogy mentions "Kusumapura" as the location for the composition of Tattvarthasutra. Kusumapura is indeed the current Patna located in Bihar.
