34 „ Vimalac'andra Suri:Pradyumna Sûri travelled generally in the eastern countries. On account of his impressive preachings, seventeen Jaina temples were newly constructed Besides, his love for learning was very great. As he knew that religious rites devoid of knowledge are of no account, he encouraged to prepare eleven store houses of knowledge. He had boundless love for the holy environment that exists at the places of pilgrimages. He visited seven times in all, Samétśikhara'. Inspite of his short life, he served the Jina Sâsana well.
Månadeva Sūri occupied his place. This is the third Pattadhara of the same name. He preached the penance of Upadhana' to the Jain-males and females. Living a short life, he also left this world.
