*Uṭṭhāṇasuya* and *Samuṭṭhāṇasuya*—As stated in *Nandicuṇṇi* (p. 49), when an enraged Sādhu recites *Uṭṭhāṇasuya* once, twice or thrice, the family, the village or the capital or the like which has offended him becomes desolate. Later on, when he being pacified, recites *Samuṭṭhāṇasuya* once, twice or thrice, whatever has been desolated, becomes re-inhabited. Such an event is narrated in the case of Damasāra Muni in *Ātmaprabodha*⁵ composed by Jinalābha Sūri in Saṃvat 1833. There he is represented as a contemporary of Lord Mahāvīra.
