"Tapaguna ope re rope dharmane gope navi jina aana aashraya lope re navi kope kadaa pancham tapasii te jaana." ~Samkitno sang muktino rang (Page 204, Author: Aachaarya Vijay Kirtiyashsurisvarji Maharaj Publisher: Sanmarg Prakashan, Ahmedabad (Gujarat), year V.S.2063 2nd edition)
Muni Vishnukumara is rightly famed for his terrific deeds of penance. Through his penance, he saved the Jain community from the maleffects of Namuchi's misdeeds.
6. Vidyaaprabhaavaka
Those who protect the Jain community through their knowledge of esoteric sciences are known as Vidyaaprabhaavaka. Baput Aachaarya is known as a vidyaaprabhaavaka. He used his mastery of mantras to defeat a Buddhist ascetic in Kutch and paved the way for the resounding success of Jainism in Kutch and Gujarat.
"Chhattho vidyaa re mantrano balii jima shri vayara muniinda”

7. Siddhaprabhaavaka (Rasaadisiddha)
Siddhaprabhaavakas use their supernatural powers to help promote the Jain faith. Their powers include but are not restricted to invisibility, aerial travel, astral travel, etc.
Aachaarya Padalipta is the best known amongst siddhaprabhaavakas. He answered some extremely
freakish and weird questions raised by King Muranda of the kingdom of Pataliputra and raised the profile of the Jain community.
"Siddha saatamo re, anjana yoga thii jim Kaalika Muni chanda" - Samkitno sang muktino rang (Page 204, Author: Aachaarya Vijay Kirtiyashsurisvarji Maharaj Publisher: Sanmarg Prakashan, Ahmedabad (Gujarat), year V.S.2063 2nd edition)
Similary, Aachaarya Kalika also became a siddhaprabhaavaka.
8. Kavi
Kaviprabhaavakas are the writers of the community. They crystalised the profound and magnificent teachings of the Jinaas to beautiful poetry. These gifted pen wielders internalised the doctrine of the Jinaas and reproduced it in the most aesthetic manner using words and phrases skilfully to convey the teachings of the Jinaas in a manner that people from all epochs could easily comprehend.
