AT ALLAHABAD
1906 Dharma Vijaya left Benares with four monks and twenty students from the Pathashala; and, making his way through Arrah and Patna, where he was joined by several other students of the College, he made the pilgrimage to the Jain Tirthas of Bihār, Pāvāpuri, Kundanpur, Rajagriha, Gunāyān, Kshatriyakund and Sammeta-shikhara or Parshvanatha Hill, which is considered one of the most sacred of all the Tīrthas, the place where twenty out of the twentyfour Tirthankaras are believed to have attained Nirvana.
