Influenced by his reformist and revolutionary ideology, people from every nook and corner started pouring into Reformed path discarding the Temple dweller tradition.
In Vikram 1080 Jine vara S ri, the disciple of the great reformer c rya Varddham na S ri, gave a death blow to the well-organised, powerful Temple dweller tradition which enjoyed a vast following. Jinavallabha S ri successfully completed the mission by weakening its power and influence even before Vikram 1165. As a result, Suvihita tradition started gaining popularity.
Critically analysing these facts, we can conclude that Jinavallabha Sri was an exceptionally bold, august scholar and a treasure of revolutionary ideology. In spite of severe confrontation from within and outside, he proceeded with undaunted courage and achieved success in extirpating the glory of Temple dweller tradition.

As already mentioned he departed to heaven in Sam dhi after observing a 3-day fasting, on 11" day of dark half of lunar month K rtika, in Vikram 1167, i.e V.N.1637.
The revolutionary ideologies of Jinavallabha Sri left an everlasting impression on Jinadatta S ri, his successor. He too following
