The meaning of the Vyakhyā'
"
On the seat of Udyotana sūri ascended Śree Sarvadevasūri as the 36th Pattadhara Some do not take Śree Prady âmnasūri and Manasuri the third, the author of Upadhana, as patṭadharas, and therefore Śree Sarvadevasûri is considered as the 34th pattadhara. He was in possession of meritorious pupils like Gautama Swami In 1010 V S. he had arranged for the installation of Candra Prabha Swami in Rămasainyapûr. Besides, he had given Diksā (the ceremony of initiating a person into a course of austerities) to the minister Kūņkaṇa who had got a large jain temple built at Candrāvati by giving him religious preaching.
On account of this it is said that -He, who used to preach everywhere to all the great souls systematically according to Jain - Holy Books after purifying their lives, and who, therefore appeared like a new Gautama Swami on account of many pupils, brought about the progress of Jain religion.
In V. S 1010 Sarvadeva sûri worthy to be worshipped by noble souls, performed the installation ceremony of Candraprabhu Swami (the eighth) in the temple of Rusabhadéva Swami in the city named Ramasainyapûr.
