Elaboration-The lineage of Dash Purvadhar starting with Acharya Sthulibhadra continued for about two hundred fifty years. It comprised of a galaxy of exemplary and great scholars each of whom
became famous as Yuga-pradhan (leader of the era) because of his 4 41 towering personality and telling influence.
