During his 30 years tenure as c rya, Jayasena too offered exemplary services to the four-fold Jain congregation. Despite the propagation and rampant growth of the material offering based traditions, c rya Jayasena was successful in upholding the basic principles of the four-fold congregation, which were once promulgated by Lord Mah v ra during the inception of holy path (T rtha Pravartana K la) and keeping them alive. He ensured that the pure and perennial rivulet of the fundamental holy path of omniscient Lord Mah v ra flows smoothly without any interruption.
