After realising about the Jainism Akbar has presented many precious granthas to acharya, which are present even today in the temples. Meanwhile, Akbar banned Jeev-Hinsha and honored acharyashri allotting him the post of Jagatguru in his cabinet. The minister's in the cabinet of Akbar, such as Mansingh, Sanghavi Chandrapal, Shri Heeranand, Thansingh, Durjanshalya etc. has brought up many temples, the foundation of them was laid by acharyashri. The ministers in the cabinet of Jahangir, Kunwarpal & Sonpal, constructed a huge temple, in which the honorable hands of Anchalgatchhiya Acharyashri founded the idol of Bhagwan Shreyanshnath. He also performed much prestigious religious work, the record of which is available on stones of V.S. 1671.
