In a short time, they became

scholars of scriptures of Jain Religion.

History 2

Shri Acharya Yashobhadra Suriji offered

AcharyaPad to Bhadrabhau and

appointed him as his successor.

He thought Bhadrabahu was

more qualified than

his older brother Varahmihir.

History 3

Varahmihir who ultimately renounced

his Diksha (monk-hood) from Jain

Sangh and became fortune teller.

His ego was hurt for

not receiving AcharyaPad.

People of the Jain community (Sangh).

He became evil,

started torturing and terrorizing the Jains,

especially followers of Bhadrabahu,

by spreading plague amongst the Jain Sangh.

many people began to die suddenly and

losing faith in the Jain religion.

Uvasaggaharam Stotra 16

Jain Sangh requested

Bhadrabahu Swami to

stop plague and the terror,

so he composed Uvasaggahar Stotra.

immensely diminished.
