A.F.R. HOERNLE-The Paṭṭavali or Lists of Pontiffs of the Upakesa-Gachchha. (Indian Antiquary, vol. XIX, Pp. 233-242).-Bombay, 1890.
This pattavalt is borrowed from the "Ajanatimirabhaskara", a Hindi work on the Jainism, by Atmārāmaji Anandavijayaji, pontiff of the Vijaya lakha, founded from Tapa gaccha by Vijayasimhasūri.
The laic adherents of the Upakeśa gaccha call themselves Oswals. They constitute one of the principal commercial casts of Rajputana. It is said that they drew their name from the town of Osanagari, in Marwar, where is found an ancient temple of Mahāvīra.
The list of the pontiffs established by the paṭṭāvali goes back to Parivanätha and comprises the following names :
