into setting up a big tirth. His holiness Acharyadev Yogadivakar Vijayadasurisvarji, the
prime disciple of Shrimad Vijaybhvansurisvarji Maharaj Saheb, the prime disciple of his
holiness Gachchhadhipati Shrimad Vijayramchadrasurisvarji, established OM
Shree Parshvapadmavati Jain tirth and installed the idol in it. Besides the idol of Mulnayak
