There are two types of Ugratap-Riddhi-dharak: Ugrogratap-Riddhi-dharak and Avasthit Ugratap-Riddhi-dharak. The one who, after observing one fast and performing Parana, observes two fasts, then three fasts in succession, and so on, increasing the number of fasts by one each time, and continues to observe fasts throughout his life, is considered to be an Ugrogratap-Riddhi-dharak Sadhu. The one who observes one fast and performs Parana at the time of initiation, and then, after an interval of one day, becomes a Shashtopavasin due to some reason, then, while observing the Shashtopavas, becomes an Ashtamopavasin, and in this way, without falling below the level of Dasham and Dwadashm, continues to observe fasts throughout his life, is called an Avasthit Ugratap-Riddhi-dharak. The ultimate fruit of both these tapas is Moksha, while other fruits like heaven are inferior. These Ugratap-Riddhi-dharak Jinas have been saluted here.
