________________ The number of congregations and their members who adopted the changes kept on growing over period of time. At the same time, the number of followers of those who wanted to maintain status quo of the traditional and true doctrine kept on gradually decreasing. In this way, such changes and the impact of time, place etc kept on creating more sub divisions and those sub divisions which used material things in their rituals kept on growing in influence and reached the pinnacle of success during their time. However the effect of time cycle also took such sub divisions into its stride and they became extinct giving rise to new sub divisions. Temple dwellers, Y pan ya etc can be considered such divisions. This is how Lord Mah v ra's congregation passed through such turmoil over period of time. Still the original tradition did not as yet become extinct. The ancient tradition of Lord Mah v ra maintained its original form in small numbers and the same can be proven from many sides / viewpoints also. On this basis, we are successful in presenting below the chronology of c ryas and epochal c ryas after Devardhiga i K am rama a. Era of c ryas with partial knowledge of scriptures Chronology of c ryas and epochal c ryas after the death of Devardhiga i K am rama a (V.N. 1000) to V. 2168 for a total of 1151 years is being presented here. This is based on the descriptions found in approved as authentic by Sth nakav s (hall dwellers) vet mbara tradition. History of Jainism till the death of Devardhiga i in V.N.1009 had been given earlier in volume II of this series.
