Now only one name remained - the name Jinamat. From the analytical study of the information given in 'Gacch c ra Vidhi' acquired from Badaud University and the Pa val available from Simghav Pola Bhand ra of Khambhat , it becomes clear that Lok ha brought into light the age old Suvihita tradition in front of the people, in the attire of scriptures and named it as 'Jinamata' or 'Jinamat'. This is substantiated by the appeal letters written by the laity to the monks of this tradition as they used the word Jinamat before or after the name of that particular monk. Lok ha giving the name "Jinamat' to the four-fold order established by rama a Mah v ra to achieve universal welfare and beneficence appears quite appropriate.
Two ancient letters which throw light on certain controversial matters about the life of Lok ha that were written 55-56 years ago were found by Monk K aj, the disciple of Mamgalaj Sw m of L mbad Mot monastery tradition. K aj got these letters from r Goraj Sundaraj , the Yati of N n Pak a of the gaccha. Those two letters were attached at the end of an ancient copy of Kalpas tra, which belonged to the period of first phase of Vikram 17th century. Those two letters were written by K ntivijaya, the disciple of Tap gacch ya Yati N yaka Vijaya in P a a on Basanta Pamcam in 1636. This was mentioned by the scribe himself at the end of the two letters. Obtaining the permission from Yati Sundara j, r K aj Swm made copies of those two letters and kept them with him.
After sometime r K aj sent the duplicate copies of letters to Monk Ma il laj , the author of 'Jain Dharma no Pr c na Samk ipta Itih sa' (A Brief ancient history of Jainism). The author printed these letters as they were in his abovementioned treatise. Monk Ma il laj was the disciple of revered Mohanal laj Sw m of L mbad Congregation Monastic tradition.
These two letters which bring out unique and significant facts in the life of Lok ha are given below:
