The present day city of Patna was Kusumpur in ancient times. It was settled by Udayan, a follower of the Jain religion, in memory of his father. The large city was the capital of the Magadhas. King Udayan built in it Jain temples, Gajashalas, Ashvashalas, Pansadhashalas, dispensaries etc. This is the birth place of Yashobhadrasurishvarji, the disciple of Jambuswami, of Bhadrabahuswami and of other great sadhus. The royal courtesan named Kosa lived in this city. Munishri Sthulibhadraji asked permission for his monsoon sojourn in her house got it and changed the courtesan kosa into a Shravika observing the twelve vows. This is a long-remembered incident in the history of the Jain religion. The two sects of Svetambars and Digambars can into existence since the times of Sthulibhadra. Sthulibhadraji died here in the year 311 A.D. This place was a very prosperous city of Jains till the seventh century. Later on, it was divided in small towns. Sheth Sudarshan also died here. It is said that he was taken to the gallows but by virtue of navkar mantra, the gallows were changed into a throne. The memorial is present here even today.
