During his life in this human world, he lived in the severest asceticism, and in the most absolute poverty. Still he was wont to bestow immense riches—more valuable than any terrestrial and perishable treasures--on all those, who had good fortune to be known by him. He was a model for us all.

Shastravisharad Jainacharya Shri Vijaya Dharma Suri fulfilled in our day an old Indian ideal of a great man. Having secured the mastery of human passions, he was actuated by a selfless benevolence. Entirely loyal to the doctrines of his faith, he realized them with a philosophic insight—His teaching and preaching were invested with reasonableness and sweetness, while his advances to members of other sects, countries and cultures were characterised by an unfeigned friendliness-His exertions in the cause of education, and his constant pre-occupation with plans for the foundation of institutions, and the publications of periodicals, texts and studies revived and invigorated his community.
