The 15 chapters of the Uttara Adhyayana Sutra (study of the Uttara Adhyayana Sutra) state the essence of who is the best monk.

The one who remains detached from the animate and inanimate is the best saint. The one who can tolerate harsh words is the best saint. The one who considers every living being as his own self is the best saint. All these three qualities were present in Acharya Pravar Umesh Muni Ji, hence he was the best saint. Acharya Shri performed excellent worship of knowledge, philosophy and character. These words were said by Pujya Mahasati Pragya Ji Maharaj Saheb in the religious assembly on the third day of Anu Smriti Diwas. Mahasati Pragya Ji further told about Acharya Shri that Acharya Pravar always aimed for flawless treatment. He had a diligent vision and remained fully alert even during his illness, did not allow even the slightest fault to be found. His character was very pure. In the last moments, Acharya Pravar felt that no fault should be found in his pure character. Mahasati Ji told that even in the eyes of great men, your sadhana was of the highest order. Shramana Sangha Acharya Pravar Devendra Muni Ji decorated Acharya Pravar Umesh Muni Ji with the title of Jin Shasan Gaurav and said that I am proud that there is no such gem of a saint. Having received it, those who from time to time express their views fearlessly as per the scriptures. In the religious gathering, Sadhvi Soumyaprabha ji said that in this world, infinite souls are born and die. Birth and death is the order of the world; death is certain with birth, but among them, there are some rare souls whose virtues and whose favors we can never forget. One such rare personality is Acharya Pravar Umesh Muni ji. Sadhvi ji told that Acharya Pravar was a recluse since his childhood. He increased his renunciation even while living in the world. His family members sent him to Mumbai to woo him, but his renunciation was strong, his morale was strong and the family members had to agree to his words and gave him permission for initiation. By taking initiation, Acharya Pravar did good to both himself and others. Sadhvi Hitgya ji also addressed the religious gathering. Sadhvi ji said that Acharya Pravar Umesh Muni ji was a storehouse of simplicity, gentleness, tolerance and many other virtues. There was not even a trace of ego in Pujya Gurudev.
