After the number of 220 years of 163 Ghadaris, it has been propounded within 118 years and also written as the knower of the first Anga named 'Acharang'. After these four Munis, five Acharyas named Arhadvali, Maghanandi, Gharasen, Pushpadant and Bhootbali have been written as 'Ekangdhari' and their time is given as 118 years*. In this way, 683 years have been calculated from Veer Nirvana to Bhootbali.
