## Skandaka Muni (11)
Skandaka Muni was a Sannyasi from Shravasti, a disciple of the Gadbhal Parivajak and a former friend of Gautam Swami. He was unable to answer the questions of Pingalak Nirgranth, a disciple of Lord Mahavira. Upon hearing from the people of Shravasti that Lord Mahavira was staying in the Chatra-Palash garden outside Kritangala Nagar, Skandaka went to see him. After finding his answers, he became a disciple of the Lord.
Skandaka Muni studied the 11 Angas while living with the Sthaviras. He practiced and worshipped the 12 Pratimas of a Bhikku in order. He performed the Gunaratna Samvatsar Tapa, which weakened, emaciated, and disabled his body. Finally, he went to Vipulgiri near Rajgriha and performed a one-month Sanlekhana. After his time, he went to the 12th Devaloka. From there, he will become a Siddha through the Chayaka Mahavidehavas.
Skandaka Muni's initiation period was 12 years.
## Sudharma Swami (12)
Sudharma Swami was a Brahmin from Kollag Sannivesh, belonging to the Agnivaishyayana gotra. His father was Dhammil and his mother was Bhaddhila. Five hundred students studied under him. At the age of fifty, he took Pravjaya along with his disciples. He remained in the Chhadmavastha for forty-two years. After twelve years of Mahavira's Nirvana, he became a Kevali and remained in the Kevali state for eight years.
Sudharma was the longest-living among all the Ganadharas of the Shraman Bhagwan. At the time of their Nirvana, other Ganadharas dedicated their respective ganas to Sudharma.
Twelve years after Mahavira's Nirvana, Sudharma attained Kevalgyan. Twenty years later, at the age of one hundred, he attained Nirvana in the Gunshil Chaitya of Rajgriha after a month of Anashan.
