[1] He taught the famous poet and historian, Suryamall Misran and was also the guru of the rulers of Ratlam, Sailana and Sitamau States and was referred to as Annadata.
[2][3] He authored 12 major texts about philosophy, devotion, ethics; out of which his best known work is Pandava Yashendu Chandrika.
[4] It is said that once, Muslim raiders looted the village of Kharoda and inflicted a lot of suffering, due to which Mishridanji and Paramanandji decided to leave and migrated to Badli, a town in Ajmer region of Rajasthan.
[3] At that time Maharaja Man Singh ruled in Jodhpur, who was considered unparalleled in his generosity and was captivated by the qualities of devotion and scholarship of the learned Charanas.
When he came to rule the Jodhpur kingdom, to the 17 Charanas who came to his help during the siege of Jalore, he granted them lands and villages in sasan to appease them.
Together with his brother, he thought that if his nephew Shankardan became a scholar and a poet, he could become eligible to receive a jagir (land grant) from Maharaja Man Singh or any other king.
[3] With this thought in mind, Paramanand himself started teaching Shankardan from his childhood and made him proficient in the Sanskrit language.
However, since Paramanand was himself a devotee of Lord Vishnu and a profound scholar of Vedanta along with being an expert in Sanskrit, his influence had a strong impact on young Shankardan.
As a result, after completing his education, Shankardan found a Dadupanthi sage living in Devliya, became his disciple and took renunciation with the name 'Swarupdas'.
Swarupdas was very generous-minded, who understood the essence of knowledge, saw that his student Suryamal had surpassed him with his extraordinary talent and thus developed a great admiration for him in his heart.
[3] One of Swamiji's disciples was the poet Shivaram Dadhich, who wrote a treatise called "Takhat Vilas" in 1899.
