that his preceptor Karnarishi did not allow him to study some religious books. The sūri told Jagamala that Karnarishi must not have found him fit for study. Jagamala was, however, not satisfied with the suri's answer; so he picked up a quarrel with him. Thereupon the sūri drove him out of his gatchha. Jagamala felt humiliated; so he lodged a complaint against Hiravijayasūri to the police officer, Petlad. A warrant for the arrest of Hiravijayasūri was issued. The latter, who was at Borsad, succeeded twice in avoiding policemen; but when they came for the third time, the Jains bribed them and they no longer helped Jagamala who was forced to leave the place about A. D. 1573-4.162
The third difficulty was created by Udayaprabhasūri and other monks who complained to Kalakhana, Governor of Anahilavada, against Hiravijayas ūri, who was, then, at Kunagera, about five miles from Anahilavada Patana. Orders were passed for the arrest of Hiravijaya sūri; but the latter successfully avoided the policemen by running away to Vadavali where he had to remain in concealment for three months.16
