• Śrī Mānadéya Sūri,-the friend of Śrī Haribhadra Sūri who was an ocean of knowledge, became a most prominent Ācārya who by the power of his penance had-reacquired from the month of the Goddess Ambikā, the holy Súri-Mantra which was up till then forgotten.'
After 1000 years of Sri Vira-Paramātmā flourished Satyamitra, and after that the Pūrvajñāna was destryed.
In the interval of Sri Vajraséna and Satyamitra's time flourished six Yuga-Pradhānas named i Näga-hasti, 2 Revatimitra, 3 Bhahmadvipa, 4 Nāgārjuna, 5 Bhutadinna, and 6 Kāla. kācārya. Amongst these, was Kālakácarya who was saluted even by Indra, who had taken prominent part in composing Anuyoga' (in separating the four ' Anuyogas ') and who, in the year 993 after Śri Vira-Paramātmā, observed the Paryuşaņā-Parva (holy-day) on the 4th day of the month instead of the 5th. In the year 1055 after V. N. i. e. in V S. 595 Sri Haribhadra Sūri-the son of Yākınımahattarā, left this world and acquired heaven. In V. N. S. 1115 Yuga-Pradhāna Šri Jinabhadra Gani acquired a seat in heaven. The “ Pattāvali" notes that this Haribhadra Sūri-referred to above should be considered as quite different from one (another) who had written a commentary on " Dhyāna Śataka " and other works of Śrī Jinabhadra Sūri, referred to above. But as that Jinabhadra Sūri lived for 104 years, there is very little doubt about his existence even in the times of Śri Haribhadra Sūri.
