आचार्य भद्रबाहु ने सब कुछ जान लिया । निष्प्रयोजन चमत्कार दिखाना संयम का स्खलन है। अतः वे स्थूलभद्र से रुष्ट हो गये और आगे आगम वाचना बन्द कर दी । स्थूलभद्र के क्षमा माँगने व अनुनय-विनय करने पर शेष चार पूर्वों का पाठ तो उन्हें बता दिया किन्तु अर्थ नहीं बताया । चतुर्दश पूर्वधरों की परम्परा यहीं समाप्त हो गई। स्थूलभद्र प्रथम दश पूर्वधर थे । सफलतापूर्वक संघ संचालन और श्रुतज्ञान संकलन के कार्यों को समर्पित आचार्य स्थूलभद्र का देहावसान वी. नि. २१५ (२५४ वि. पू., ३११ ई. पू.) में हुआ ।
Shrut Kevali or Chaturdash Purvadhar Lineage
Elaboration-In the lineage of the heads of the order after Bhagavan Mahavir there were two omniscients-Arya Sudharma and Arya Jambu. With passage of time and increasing distance from the 卐 Tirthankar there was a constant depletion of knowledge and the possibilities of attaining omniscience ended. The post Jambu Swami pattadhars did not become omniscients but they absorbed the complete knowledge contained in the words of the Tirthankar; in other words the tweleve Angas including the fourteen Purvas. That is why they were popularly known as Shrut-kewalis or Chaturdashpurvadhars. This tradition continued upto Acharya Bhadrabehu.

Arya Yashobhadra-He was born in a Brahman family belonging to Tungik gotra in the year 36 A.N.M. (433 B.V., 390 B.C.). He was among the top scholars of his time in the ritualistic Vedic tradition. Deeply influenced by the discourses of Arya Shayyambhav, he took Diksha when he was twenty two years old. Under the direction of his guru he absorbed all the knowledge of the canons for fourteen years. He succeeded Arya Shayyambhav as Head of the Order at the age of thirty six years. After successfully managing the organization for fifty years he died in the year 148 A.N.M. (321 B.V., 378 B.C.). During his times the eighth Nand ruled over the state of Magadh. It is believed that he influenced the Nand rulers with his discourses. He brought about a revolutionary change in the Jain religious organization-for the first time Yashobhadra promoted two of his disciples to the position of Acharya.
