SHĀSTRAVISHĀRADA JAINĀCHĀRYA 57 Hindu and a firm believer in the Hindu faith. Indifferent as he was to personal honours, he could not be indifferent to such a noble example of tolerance and broad-nıindedness, which gave him particular pleasure, inasmuch as he also was a strong advocate of mutual tolerance and sympathy and co-operation. In consequence of the Āchāryapada bestowed on him Dharma Vijaya's name was changed to Vijaya Dharma, by reversing the two terins, as is often done in the case of Jain Acharyas, and the appendage Sūri was added to it.
