Gautam Swami ka pramukh samvad Bhagwan Mahavira ke saath hua tha. Unke prashn‑uttar se hi Shvetambar parampara ke kai Agam granthon—vishesh kar Bhagavati Sutra (Vyakhyā‑Prajnāpti)—ka nirmān mana jata hai. Digambar parampara bhi unhen Bhagwan Mahavira ke pratham Gaṇadhara ke roop mē svīkar karti hai, aur unki shiksha Bhagwan Mahavira se prapt mani jati hai.
