A Little... Jain religion is famous for its principles of non violence, non accumulation and subjectiveness. Soul has no beginning. The relationship between soul and Karma has also no beginning. Soul can get liberation from Karma. All these matters are very nicely narrated in the Jainism. In Jain religion because of ignorance there is one misbelief amongst Jain multitude that Shri Mahaveer Swami is the founder of Jain religion. of There are twenty three tirthankars who became 'Arihant' and achieved Salvation before God Mahaveer. of Jainism displays unique calculation of time. One circular time cycle consists of twenty kotakoti (one crore x one crore) sagaropam i.e ten kotakoti sagaropam of Avasarpini and ten Kotakoti sagaropam of Utsarpini. Avasarpini=Descending Time Cycle Utsarpini=Ascending Time Cycle In this avasarpini Respected God Adinath was the first and foremost Tirthankar. And afterwards other twenty three tirthankars came into existence. Out of these twenty four tirthankars 16" God; God Shantinath, 17th God; God Kunthunath and 18" God; God Arnath were the soverigns in the same birth.. The Gujarati edition of The Characters of 24 Tirthankar was written on the basis of wellknown book "Trishashthi Shalaka Mahapurush Charita'. In the recent culture of convent, it was necessary to translate the characters of twenty four tirthankar in Jain Education Internatio For Private Eersonal Use Only

Comprehension of Trishashthi Shalaka Purush Charitra created by Kalikal Sarwagna Pujya Acharyabhagwant Shrimad Vijay Hemchandrasurishwarji Maharaja... BIRTH -1 On the earth in Jambudweep there was a famous beautiful city named 'Kshitipratishthit'. All citizens were happy and satisfied in the kingdom of honourable King Prasannachandra. Within the same city, there was a famous Sarthvah called 'Dhan'. He possessed infinite assets. Because of his generosity, he obtained esteem position all over the world. For business purpose Dhan sarthvah frequently used to arrange domestic as well as foreign caravan. Dhan was taking up responsibly of the whole caravan and hence, many people used to join him. Once, Dhan intended to go towards "Vasantpur' for business. Vasantpur was far away from Kshitipratishthitpur... many jungles; mountains and rivers were to be crossed on the way. dello international WWW elibrary.org

It was impossible to speculate time schedule. The frosty winter, sizzling summer, torrential rain... many milestone were to be achieved... Dhan sarthvah declared in the city that who ever is interested to go towards Vasantpur can join the caravan. Everyone will be provided with full protection. Along with clothing, food, water etc. all will be protected against the wild animals, dacoits and other dangers. From years together many people were willing to go towards Vasantpur... Listening to Dhan sarthvah's announcement large group of people enthusiastically joined him. Outside the city, there was a park where composed (Shantmurti) Acharya Bhagwant Dharmghoshsurishwarji Maharaja was present along with his large group of Munis. On leaving the city lucky Dhan got glimpse of the Acharyabhagwant. Mahatma: "lucky! We also want to join caravan." Dhan: "Bhagwant! I am grateful. Kindly join us. We will be obliged to have your company." Dhan: "Oh... Attendants! Come here! Take special care of these mahatmas. Arrange daily appropriate food, water etc. for them" Mahatma: "Oh... Fortunate! According to our conduct we don't consume the food specially made for us and we would consume whatever food is prepared for you. Sachit water (Raw Water) of For Private 2ersonal Use Only

In the meanwhile one vendor came up and gifted basket full of fresh mangos to Dhan sarthvah. Dhan: "God! Kindly accept these mangoes; these fruits are for us only" Mahatma: "Merchant! Touching these sachit fruits (Raw Fruits) is prohibited for us. Dhan: "God! Your conducts are too challenging...

the Caravan Thousands of people have joined it. Give me opportunity of serving you with innocent food, water and other appropriate things." Caravan left from Kshitipratishthitpur. The area where that caravan was taking rest along with hundreds of elephants, horses, camels, ox, mules etc. and large group of people it was looking like a village... As and on..... Days and months passed. The monsoon commenced. All roads were blocked due to torrential rainfall. Caravan was stuck in a big forest. To get protection against the rain everyone constructed small huts of bamboo and started living in it. Dhan's friend Manibhadra has also constructed a beautiful hut and requested Acharyabhagwant to stay in it. Mahatma accepted innocent place for living. Monsoon season was too long.... In the forest it was also difficult to obtain grain. The hungry people started eating fruits, roots etc. Due to such terrible situation of caravan Dhan sarthvah was nervous. "Oh... What a terrible situation of my companions!" Suddenly he evoked Dharmghoshsurishwarji Maharaja and other mahatmas. Jain Education Infernational

"Oh! I made a big blunder... I have not looked after these mahatmas from the day they joined the caravan! In this poor time others are eating fruits and roots. Whereas these mahatmas don't even touch these things. Instantaneously I am going to see them..." He immediately went to mahatma's place and was astonished by looking at the atmosphere over there! Some mahatmas were meditating, some were busy in studying (Swadhyay)! Some were imparting knowledge to others (Vachna). All were very cheerful... Dhan sarthvah bowed to Acharyabhagwant. Acharya Maharaj very politely said 'Dharmlabh'... Dhan: "God! Kindly excuse me! No one will be as lethargic and ungrateful as me! From the very first day of caravan I had neither bowed nor visited you to ask for your wellbeing. I forgot about your very presence in the caravan... in this difficult time I didn't look after for arranging innocent food and water for you. Kindly pardon me for my faults." Mahatma: "Fortunate man! We don't have any difficulty in your caravan. You had protected us against all problems arising on the way. Your companions also provide us proper food and water. You don't worry about it" "God! You are great and full of good qualities! Whereas I am mean. I am ashamed of my behavior. Kindly send mahatmas to my place and give me opportunity of providing food." 5 alucation International www.ainelibrary.one

Because of forceful prayer of Dhan, Acharyabhagwant sent two mahatmas with him for Gochari. Dhan sarthvah came to own place with mahatmas. Merchant saw a pot full of ghee in his room. Glad Dhan sarthvah had offered ghee to Mahatma. From bottom of his heart very respectfully Dhan sarthvah had donated the best what is regarded as 'Supatradan'. Because of the power of this supatradan, he obtained 'Samyak Darshan' which is as precious and exclusive as 'Chintamaniratna' (Precious Stone).

Fortunately, she suddenly got glimpse of Kevalgyani Yugandhar Muni! She bowed seeing Mahatma. Mahatma said Dharmlabh to her. Nirnamika: "God! I am most unlucky woman on this earth; I had neither got love from my parents nor received respect from relatives. Wherever I go problems follow me. I am fade up of this life. I want to do suicide." Mahatma: "Oh... lady! What pain do you have? In this world there are many men who don't have place to live, clothes to wear, food to eat and water to drink..."

Shreshthi. All were of same age group. The bond between them was excellent. Son of Ishvarduttsheth named 'Keshav' also joined these five. Keshav was the soul of Swayamprabha. The group of these six was famous in the town. All six used to join any virtuous action dynamically. One day all were sitting in house of Jivanand. At that time, renunciatory lean body Mahatma came there. The talented Jivanand identified his disease of worms. All six decided to do treatment of the Mahatma. For the purpose of treatment 'Goshirsh Chandan', 'Lakshyapak oil', 'Ratna Kambal' etc. valuable medicines were purchased. For the purpose of treatment one religious merchant had sponsored one Ratna Kambal valued onelakh twenty five thousand (1,25,000) gold coins. Six friends came with medicine to Gunakar muni. They covered body of muni with Ratna Kambal. With the effect of Goshirsh Chandan and Lakshyapak oil all the worms came out from muni's body. And collected the same on ratna kambal. They had already kept cow's dead body ready over there; all worms were put on that. Muni bhagwant was free from the disease. They sold balance medicines and the proceeds were used to build one beautiful and grand Jain temple decorated with golden flag. In later life all the six became renunciatory and accepted an initiation, after doing good worship all six died. They became Samanik deities of 'Achyutendra Maharaja' in twelfth heaven. In Achyut heaven, this was God's tenth birth with age of twentytwosagropam (measure for time).

Yes! These fourteen dreams were not indicating Tirthankar's birth but were indicating six continent's leader Sovereign's birth. His name was 'Vajranabh'. Previous birth's five friends became prince Bahu, Subahu, Pith, Mahapith and Suyash. All six princes had very deep bond of love for each other. King of Pundarikgini 'Vajrasen' became 'Tirthankar' in same birth in Eastern videhkshetra and was the founder of sacrament. Vajrasen Maharaja handed over kingdom to Vajranabh and accepted an initiation, attained Kevalgyan and established sacrament. Vajranabh got victory over six continents and became Sovereign. He had enjoyed kingdom of six continents for long time. Once his father Vajrasen Swami came to town. He went to listen to God. Vajranabh and five princes were very much influenced by the speech. All six accepted an initiation. Muni Vajranabh done best of worship and acquired many powers. He constituted 'Tirthankar Namkarma' by doing 'Vishasthanak' penance. After fourteen lacs purva of untainted saint age he had peaceful death. From there the soul got birth in Anuttar plane (heaven) named 'Sarvarthsiddha' as deity having life of thirty-three sagropam age. In Twelfth birth God's soul reached Annutar plane named 'Sarvarthsiddha'. Now there was certainly only one birth! The Soul of Dhan Sarthvah was at the peack of development cycle.

The Indra Maharaja introduced himself and said, "Oh... fluky lady! Respectable to globe, inclined to do welfare of whole planet's lives... such a great soul had come to your embryo. Oh... Mother of the whole world! You had seen Ox in the first dream. As mighty ox is able to pull out chariot from the mud your son will pull out religion like chariot from fascination, which is like mud. The view of Elephant in second dream indicates he will be the greatest in all greats and will be most powerful. In the third dream you had seen Lion (Kesari Sinh), which suggests that he will be patient, heroic, courageous and mighty. Due to vision of Goddess in fourth dream he will get empire of three Lok (Urdhvalok, Adholok, and Tirchhalok) The fifth dream was of Garland. This shows that the whole world will obey your son.

Time is unstoppable. Sumangala gave birth to twin named Bharat and Brahmi whereas Sunanda gave birth to brilliant twin Bahubali and Sundari. Successively Sumangala gave birth to 49 twin baby boys. God became father of 100 boys and two girls... Futuristic First Tirthankar married unenthusiastically. Moreover, he also has to establish his kingdom. Constitution and kingdom are necessary to punish corrupt and to protect innocent. Yugliks were very straight forward, gentle and patient and hence, they get rebirth in heaven. However, gradually anger, proud, illusion, parsimony etc. were increasing in Yugliks also. To avoid all these, kingdom was essential. Earlier kings used to follow penance of affirmation, negation and aversion. People began transgressing these penances and Yugliks were complaining. in Education International 23

Rushabh: "Gentlemen! I do agree to punish corrupt. There should be the kingdom." Public: "What do you mean by 'King'?" Rushabh: "The person who is equipped with four types of army (horse, elephant, chariot, infantry) and coroneted is called 'King"" Public: "Yaah!!! We also want such king!" God suggested them to request Nabhi Kulkar for king. Nabhi Kulkar replied, "Oh...Rushabh will be your King" The excited Yugliks went to arrange water for coronation. Saudharmendra Maharaja hunched this with his knowledge. All deities came with sophisticated water, gaudy costumes, and wonderful ornaments to perform their duty of coronation. They beautifully crowned God and bestowed with studded throne. They began prayer. Meanwhile Yugliks came with bowl (made up from leaf) filled with water for coronation. They were astonished looking at the handsome Rushabh. They felt it would be unfair to give ceremonial bath to well dressed God. Hence, they decanted water on God's feet only. The courtesy of Yugliks cheered Saudharmendra Maharaja and he gifted developed town having area of twelve by nine yojan (1 Yojan=3200 Miles), and palace like 'Alkapuri' (house of For Private & 24sonal Use Only

He divided public in four ancestral groups named Ugra, Bhog, Rajanya and Kshatriya. He picked out Minister, Commander, and Constable for security. He taught Bharat seventy two arts of male and Bahubali was imparted with various characteristics. He taught Brahmi eighteen languages. He also taught Sundari Mathematics etc. Due to deteriorating generation Kalpavriksh got vanished and King Rushabh taught cooking to people. Successively he divided public in five classes of Potter, Painter, Carpenter, Weaver and Barber. Each class was again subdivided into twenty subclasses. Hence, there were total hundred subclasses.

Day before initiation God vowed for Chhattha penance (two days fasts) God was mum from the day of initiation. Everyday God was wandering for innocent bhiksha. The area surrounded to him was getting holistic. The people were unaware about the rules of innocent bhiksha. Hence, when God comes they used to offer him ornaments, pearls, jewels, beautiful ladies, sachit fruits (raw fruits) etc. But, God was progressing silently. The masters who had pursued initiation along with God were also unaware about rules of innocent bhiksha. They thought, "God neither eats anything nor tells us anything. How will we bear this hunger?" They started living in huts near Ganges shore. They used to satisfy their hunger with fruits and roots. They became matted hair saint and were meditating God. Nami and Vinami, sons of Kutchh and Mahakutchh were out of town when God divided states before initiation. They came back to Vinita and demanded their rights in states. Bharat Maharaja assigned some states to them but, they told "We will take state from God only." They came to God and demanded state. God didn't give any answer as he has already disconnected all the relations with world. Both prayed God round the clock.

them. He felicitated Nami with fifty established towns in southern Vaitadhya Mountain and Vinami with sixty established towns in northern Vaitadhya Mountain. They set up capitals at Rathanupur Chakraval town and Gaganvallabh town respectively. More than 13 months were passed. God came to Hastinapur city. God had done 400 waterless fasts. King Somprabh, son of Bahubali was the emperor of that town. The day before God reached Hastinapur King Somprabh dreamed that he got victory over the enemy with the help of Shreyanskumar. The sheriff of that town dreamed that thousands of sun-rays fell down and Shreyanskumar again joined them. Whereas Shreyanskumar dreamed that he shines out dull Golden Mountain with enthronement of milk. In the morning all three met and discussed about the dreams. No one was able to make out result of the dream but, they were definite that Shreyanskumar was going to have some great benefit. In the noon Shreyanskumar came back to his palace. God reached to Hastinapur for bhiksha. The people were running behind God telling, "God neither speaks nor accepts anything" Someone was offering ornaments whereas someone was offering lift on chariot. Shreyanskumar heard this noise. He came out of the palace and saw God. He cheerfully prayed God after three rotation (pradakshina) He was staring at God. He thought, "I have seen this For Private 29 sonal Use Only

Meanwhile someone has gifted Shreyanskumar with golden pots full of sugarcane juice. Instantaneously, Shreyanskumar requested God... "Oh... God! Kindly accept this suitable sugarcane juice" God accepted the same in his palmate like pan. Excited Shreyanskumar happily poured juice in that. In this way God broke his fasts. Shreyanskumar started convention of 'Supatradan' in this avasarpini. The deities rejoiced in the sky on this occasion with five 'Divya' (which includes shower of clothes, perfumes, flowers, 12.5 crores gold coins and announcement of 'Aho Danam... Aho Danam') On third day of bright half of Vaishakh month God accepted bhiksha for the first time and it became inexhaustible donation. Hence, we celebrate this day as 'Akshay Trutiya' God didn't get any bhiksha for thirteen months. This was directly linked with the incidence, which occurred in one of the births, before attaining 'Samkit'. Bullocks were eating grains and hence, farmer was beating them. God saw this and became very disgruntled. Merciful God advised farmer to tie net on bullock's mouth instead of beating. In this way they won't eat grains. God thought bullocks would be saved from hitting. However, God forgot to tell him to remove net after completion of work.

Now we come back to the Shreyanskumar... The people heard divine drums and gathered over there. They asked Shreyanskumar, "How did you come to know about the process of innocent bhiksha?" Shreyanskumar: "Looking at the God I recalled my previous Jain Education Internatione For Frivate 3 ersonal Use Only orary

His father Vajrasen was Tirthankar and I was charioteer (Sarthi) of the Sovereign. I also pursued initiation along with God and hence, I know about the process of innocent bhiksha." Desire less God went somewhere else. Shreyanskumar made sculpture of precious gems where God accepted first bhiksha so that no one can transgress that place. God came towards Takshasheela city. He was meditating in garden outside the town. In the evening gardener informed God's arrival to King Bahubali. On hearing this good news King Bahubali lavishly gifted gardener. Bullocks remained thirsty and hungry for thirteen ghadi 33

He thought, "On tomorrow morning I will go with procession to bow God and will hear his lecture." The whole night he was thinking about God. Next day when he came with procession God already went somewhere else. Grief Bahubali cursed his laziness. He established 'Dharmchakra' (wheel) of precious stones where God was seating so that no one can transgress that place. After thousand years of initiation God came to Purimatal town. He was in the garden named 'Shakatanan' The eighth day of dark half of Phalgun (Magh) month-this was the golden day on which God had Kevalyagyan (fifth type of knowledge) Saudharmendra Maharaja and other deities celebrated God's Kevalgnan. The deities constructed place of sermons (Samavasaran). Indra Maharaja prayed God. Gardener named Yamak immediately went to King Bharat and gave this good news. As soon as he congratulated King Bharat Shamak, who was army ambassador came over there. He congratulated King and reported that, "Oh... King! You will be the champ... Definitely you will be the Sovereign. Chakraratna has been developed in your armoury. Kindly come to worship it..." Two-two good news at a time cheered King. He was confused, "Oh...

After God's initiation he cried a lot and hence, thick layer was formed on her eyes. She has lost her vision. King told her, "Oh Mother... Come... watch your son's pomp... People of whole universe (three lok) are busy in worshipping your son... You daily cry for missing him. But, now come and see your son's splendor with your insight." Riding on elephant both went towards the place of sermons. She was thrilled on hearing the sweet voice of divine drums. Cheerful Marudevamata got emotional. Due to tears the layer, which was formed, got washed out. She saw God and place of sermons. She was very attentive and was completely engrossed. Instantly she attained Kevalgnan by destroying 'Ghatikarma'. She got expired on the spot. King Bharat was surprised to see that amazing scene. He entered into the place of sermon. He prayed God and settled down. God started his lecture. His subject was attainment of'Samyak Darshanpad' He lessoned that to float out from the rotational cycle of world (sansar) there is one and only one way that is 'Sarva Virti' (initiation).

Rushabhsen (Pundarikswami) etc. 500 guys and Brahmi etc. girls also pursued initiation. God established 'Chaturvidh Sangh' (Four Fold Society which includes Saint, Nun, Male and Female). This was the beginning of God's administration. He entitled rank of'Ganadhar' to Rushabhsen and other 84 masters. He entitled Bharat etc. with the rank of 'Shravak' and Sundari etc. with the rank of 'Shravika' 'Gomukh Yaksha' was Adhishthayak Dev and 'Chakreshwari Devi' was the Adhisthayika Devi in God's administration. God Rushabhdev was wandering and blessing every live of the universe. King Bharat returned to his armoury at Vinita and worshipped his chakraratna. He started conquering six continents. Sundari was the beloved of King Bharat. However, she strongly desired to take initiation like sister Brahmi. She was living forcefully in the world as King Bharat was not allowing her to pursue initiation. Everyday she was doing Ayambil. Since 60,000 years she was doing this. Because of which healthy Sundari became slender. Most beautiful young lady of the world became dull. Victor King Bharat returned to Vinita after 60,000 years. He became disgruntled by looking at the Sundari. He yelled, "Hey! Servants...! Colleagues...! You did not take care of Sundari. Has she caught any dangerous disease? Why she became so weak?"

"King! After you left from the very next day she started Ayambils. She has decided to do this until you permit her for initiation." Listening to this King Bharat cursed his fascination (Moha). He apologized and permitted Sundari for initiation. Sundari pursued initiation and joined group of nuns along with her elder sister Brahmi. King Bharat conquered six continents but his ninety nine brothers including Bahubali had not given up their lordship. Hence, he ordered his ninety eight brothers except Bahubali to take up their responsibilities under his lordship. All ninety eight brothers met after receiving this notice. "We all are satisfied with our states which are given to us by God. We respect elder brother like father. Should we accept this unfair demand or we should fight?" Finally, they decided to go to father, who has assigned us rights in state. All ninety eight brothers came and said, "God! We are satisfied with the states assigned to us. But, elder brother Bharat wants his lordship. Should we accept this unfair demand or should we give fight? God, tell us what should we do?" God: "Oh... Meritorious... We should fight with our internal enemies i.e. Rag, Dwesh, Moha and Kashay. Under lordship of these four our soul rambles in world from countless years. Rag (attachment) is like manacles which bind us and impede our way to For Private eersonal Use Only

salvation. Dwesh (envy) is like highway to hell. Moha (fascination) drowns us in Sansar Sagar (Worldly Ocean). Kashay swallows own protectors. For courteous people it is advisable to abandon all these four enemies and pick up the wealthy way of initiation. Kingdom increases thirst of wealth." God's lecture awaked their souls. Actually they came to have solution of this birth but God gave solution for births together. All ninety eight brothers pursued initiation. When King Bharat got this news he praised their courage and cursed himself. The empire of ninety nine brothers automatically came to King Bharat. But, still mighty Bahubali was obstacle in the way to title of Sovereign. How can King Bharat become Sovereign till Bahubali is ruling over Bahildesh? He was acquainted with the strength of Bahubali. Hence, he sent proficient envoy named Suweg to convey message to Bahubali. The message was read in parliament of Takshasheela city. Bahubali was thinking over that. However, civilians and worriers were very angry on receiving this message. They were of the opinion that, "Only God Rushabh can rule us. We will not accept any other's lordship." The civilians of Bahildesh were very satisfied and happy with the Bahubali. They were ready to sacrifice even their lives for him. This incidence astonished envoy Suweg also.

Bahubali felicitated Suweg. However, ministers of Bahildesh sent rejection letter to King Bharat. The result was definite. Both crews started preparation for war. King Bharat went towards Takshasheela along with his military. Bahubali was also geared up to welcome him. The first battle of this avasarpini began. Both were equally strong and it was impossible to speculate who will be the winner. The battle was continued for twelve-twelve years. Masses of people died during the war. Not only public but Saudharmendra etc. deities were also staggered. To stop this destruction Saudharmendra Maharaja himself came at battlefield and tried to convince both. One has desire for title of Sovereign whereas other was struggling to protest against injustice. Both were tenacious. Finally, Indra Maharaja suggested, "Oh...Greats...As you have mutual enmity you go for duel. So that innocent people will not lose their lives." Both accepted suggestion of Indra Maharaja. Indra Maharaja shown five types of combats-battle of sight (Drashti Yuddha), debate, wrestling, boxing and battle of stick (Dand Yuddha) Both military calm downed. Mighty commanders put downed their weapons and were eager to see heroism of their lords. In the sky deities were also watching their combat. 40

Page #57
First battle of sight was initiated. For long time both remained steady and their eyes were firm. At last, eyes of King Bharat moved. All applauded Bahubali's victory. After that in all the four combats Bahubali was successful in trouncing King Bharat's vanity. Military of Bahubali was thrilled with the victory of his lord. This was unbelievable for Sovereign's military. King Bharat struggled for sixty thousand years and triumphed lordship of six continents. He was annoyed as he was going to lose his lordship. This defeat was intolerable for him. He disregarded presence of Indra Maharaja and released his chakraratna on Bahubali. Both military and Indra etc. deities were dazed. That chakra (wheel) was very dangerous and was rapidly coming closer to the Bahubali. Bahubali was also furious as King Bharat broken the conditions laid by Saudharmendra Maharaja. But... what's this? Startling...chakraratna rotated thrice around Bahubali and returned to King Bharat. The chakraratna does not work on the person of same family line. He was younger brother of King Bharat and hence, chakraratna could not harm him. Passionate King Bharat forgot even this small thing. King Bharat was abashed by his unjust did. Now, it was impossible to control Bahubali. He put up his fist to punch King Bharat. All were ain Education International For Private41Personal Use Only

horrified by thinking what will happen? Thousands of people were steadily observing this scene. However, when he came closer to King Bharat his mind got agitated. "Oh... who am I? The son of God Rushabhdev; the father, who abandoned all luxuries. My younger ninety eight brothers had also abandoned this world in few seconds and damned stupid I am here to kill my father like elder brother. I am so infatuated in luxuries and wishes. I despise myself! I hate this world! It is better to go on my father's path. Instantaneously, Bahubali did Locha by the fist. And vowed for 'Sarva Virti' Indra etc. deities and other people were amazed. All were looking at the Bahubali's unique valour. The deities showered flowers on Bahubali. King Bharat saluted his younger brother for his unique pith. Very softly he said, "Brother! You are the real son of God Rushabhdev. You replicated father's way. How wicked I am! Knowingly I am infatuated in all the luxuries." King Bharat apologized for his did. King Bharat coroneted Bahubali's son, Chandrayasha, at Takshasheela. King Bharat returned to Vinita and was coroneted by title of Sovereign. Bahubali pursued initiation in the battlefield only and was meditating. He was desperate to meet his father God Rushabhdev 42

but, powerful Bahubali was surrounded by proud even after initiation. He thought, "Oh... If right now I will go to meet God I have to bow my younger ninety eight brothers who had pursued initiation before me. I will meet God only after having Kevalgyan." Time passes very fast. Twelve months passed. Bahubali did nonstop fasts. He was uninterruptedly meditating. He endured each and every type of vexations and exertions. But, still he has not attained Kevalgyan. Benevolent God was aware of Bahubali's thoughts. He immediately sent Brahmi and Sundari to lesson Bahubali. Obeying God, both came to their brother. Bahubali was surrounded by creeper and trees. It was difficult to recognize him. Both rotated him thrice and bowed him. Emotionally they requested, "Veera...! Mora gaj thaki utaro...! Gaj chade Keval na hoy (Brother! Come down from the proud like elephant. Proud person can not attain Kevalgnan) Bahubali was staggered! "Am I riding on elephant?" "Oh...Obviously it is true! I am riding on proud like elephant. How will I attain Kevalgyan? Now, straight away I am going to bow my younger brothers!" Bahubali stepped up and instantly attained Kevalgyan. Education International 43

King asked God about previous birth of horse. God said, "Long ago, one businessman Sagardutt was residing in Padmini city. His religion was Shaiv. He used to listen to Jain religion's lecture with his friend. One day he heard in lecture that, "The soul, who constructs the statue of Jain Tirthankar, surely achieves salvation." Listening to this, Shaiv Sagardutt constructed one gold statue of Jain Tirthankar and enthusiastically installed the same." Before this Shaiv Sagardutt had also constructed one Shivalay (temple of Shiv). And Sagardutt used to go over there for worship. On the eve of Uttarayan (the day sun transits from south to north) devotees were pulling pots for worshipping Shiv. Due to this many white ants, which were under the pots, were getting crushed. Looking at this Sagardutt became emotional. Kind Sagardutt was removing the white ants to save them. At that time devotees teased him and they purposely killed the white aints. Their priest also turned deaf ear to this matter. Watching this scene Sagardutt unenthusiastically worshipped Shiv. In the past he had already constituted animal's life and hence, became horse in this birth. However, construction of statue of Jain Tirthankar and hospitality (Jeevdaya) helped him in understanding religion here also. In future he will achieve salvation." For Privat 164rsonal Use Only

She was named as Ratnavati. When Ratnavati became matured her parents were worried about her marriage. Whether Ratnavati will get appropriate spouse or not? King Anang was much tensed on this matter... King had called for photographs and bio data of many princes. But he was not contented from those... He was not getting the complete conjunction of mind, beauty and age. Finally King called an astrologer to ask him about Ratnavati's future. "Oh... King! Just don't worry. She will get four times better spouse than herself. The person who will snatch away your precious divine sword and on whom deities will shower flower, will be the husband of your daughter."

King Sugriv had tried a lot to annihilate the poison but he failed. Whole city was grief. At the same time Vidyadhar Chitragati (soul of Dhankumar) was passing by. He known the situation of Prince Sumitra and immediately he came over there to wipe out the poison of Sumitra. With own power compassionate Chitragati made Sumitra fine. They both became profound friends. Sumitra's sister was married with King of Kaling. Once lovesick Kamal, who was son of King Anangsingh and was brother of Ratnavati, kidnapped her.

He left her wife Kanakmala also in her father's palace only. Both friends again came to own town. Aparajitkumar heard the weeping of piteous lady. Generous Aparajitkumar went in that direction. He saw that Vidyadhar Shrishen's lovesick son Surkant had come over there after kidnapping Ratnamala; the daughter of Rathanupur Chakrawal city's King Amrutsen.

The parents handed over the responsibilities of family to both the brothers and passed away. Marubhuti was very compassionate and was also helping the King Arvind in handling affairs of state. Due to this he frequently has to go out of the town. Whereas Kamath was enjoying and relaxing at home only. Marubhuti's wife Vasundhara was very good-looking. Though Kamath's own wife Varuna was present he was completely engrossed in Vasundhara. Vasundhara also got infatuated towards Kamath. They started licentiousness. Once, Kamath's wife Varuna saw their immoral behaviour. She spoke to Marubhuti on this matter. It was unbelievable for Marubhuti. But, when he him self saw their iniquitous behaviour he became down in dumps. Simple Marubhuti thought, "If I tell this matter to King then even for sake of modesty Kamath will realize." He narrated the story to King Arvind. But...how can a just King Arvind tolerate this? King arrested Kamath and he punished Kamath by making him to sit on donkey and roam all over the city. All citizens scorned Kamath. Kamath became very angry. "Marubhuti is responsible for such condition. He complained the matter to King and hence, I had to bear all this." Thinking in this way he ran away in forest and became For Private & Pusonal Use Only 196

ascetic. He was meditating with huge aversion in the heart for Marubhuti. Here, Marubhuti was feeling glum. "I am responsible for my elder brother's insult. I should... I should apologize..." Marubhuti came to forest for saying sorry to Kamath. He was about to bow Kamath but repugnant Kamath threw big stone on Marubhuti! Marubhuti's head got mashed. Marubhuti immediately died. King Arvind got the news and realized futility of worldly relations. He pursued initiation... Kamath ran away and died with the feelings of'Artadhyan' in the heart. He became snake of Kukkut specie in the next birth. Marubhuti also died with feeling of 'Artadhyan' in the heart at last moment. And hence, became elephant in the next birth. He became the spouse of 500 female elephants. On this side Arvind Muni reached Sametshikhar Tirth along with huge crowd. The soul of Marubhuti; who was the elephant in this birth, came around the bottom of Vindhyachal Mountain. It saw the huge crowd and became angry, as in forest it likes to remain lonely. The elephant became out of control. He started throwing people from its trunk. He also smashed many people under his feet. All started up roaring. The elephant ran and directly came to Arvind Muni. All became scared, "Oh! This mad elephant will trample the saint!" Education International For Priv 197 Personal use only

Looking at Arvind Muni elephant became abated. He was gazing towards Muni. Avadhigyani Arvind Muni said, Oh! Marubhuti! Leave this idiocy. Who were you? Just think. In previous birth you accepted Shravak Dharm. You went to make apology to your brother who was the accused. And here you are killing innocent people. Due to feeling of 'Artadhyan' at the end moment you got the birth as animal. Still you are living with the feeling of 'Artadhyan', do you want more regression?" Listening to this elephant recalled his previous birth. He was crying. Muni explained it Shravak Dharm and it had accepted the same. He became abstinent and was living with equal feeling in joy and sorrow. Looking at this incidence many people understood the true religion. Muni went somewhere else. Elephant was living peacefully. Once he went into lake for drinking water. It went ahead and its legs were trapped into mud. It struggled a lot but was sticking more and more. It realized that "Now I won't be able to survive and my death is definite." He started meditating God (Panch Parmeshthi). At the same time Kukkut snake i.e. soul of Kamath came over there. Looking at elephant it started releasing flames out of its mouth. It remembered previous birth's hostility. With all its power it started stinging elephant repeatedly. Poison killed the elephant. The elephant was in acute pain but died peacefully. It was successful in remaining For Private & Sonal Use Only 198

abstinent at the end moment also. And due to this patience only, it got next birth in eighth heaven called Sahastrar. Miserable snake! It lived in feeling of 'Artadhyan' and hence, got next birth in hell. The soul of Marubhuti had life of seventeen sagaropam in the eighth heaven. His name was deity Shashiprabh. He worshipped God in various ways, did many good deeds and made his Samyak Darshan more clean and pure. Whereas soul of Kamath did many sinful deeds in the birth of snake and became hellish (Naraki-the person who gets birth at hell) in the fifth hell. He also had life of seventeen sagaropam.

One day Vajrnabh Muni was meditating at forest of Sukutchh continent and suddenly one arrow was pierced in his chest. After painful life at hell the soul of Kamath got birth in inferior tribe of vagabonds. He was very dark in colour. His name was also 'Kurangad' he was bad mannered and had identified previous birth enemy. Kurangad was wandering in forest for hunting. He saw Vajrnabh Muni and immediately released his arrow. The arrow was pierce in a delicate organ of his body. Peacefully Muni endured acute pain. He didn't have even a slight feeling of revulsion. He forgave every one and had peaceful death.

But... here, who will come to save him? In the eighth birth the soul of Marubhuti came to the womb of queen Sudarshana, wife of King Kushilbahu at Puranpur city of eastern videh. The mother was extremely cheerful as she dreamed great dreams which were indicating that the fetus will become sovereign. The son was named Suvarnabahu. The matured Suvarnbahu married to gorgeous Padmavati, the daughter of Ratnapur city's King Khechar. The Chakraratna was developed in the armoury. Because of power of Chakraratna he became conqueror of six continents. One day, Tirthankar Jagnnath came to Puranpur city. Sovereign Suvarnabahu was influenced by his drizzling lecture. He forsook all worldly assets and pursued initiation. He done Vishasthanak penance in the best manner and constituted Tirthankar Namkarma. Once, he was meditating in Kshirvarna forest.

In the ninth birth, the soul of Marubhuti became Mahardhik deity at Mahaprabh plane of tenth heaven named Pranat. He had life oftwenty sagaropam. He sensationally celebrated all the Kalyanaks of various Tirthankars. On the other hand, the soul of Kamath was bearing acute pain at the fourth hell for twenty sagaropam. The soul of Kamath detested his younger brother in earlier birth which consequently reached the saturation of rivalry. After the birth of Kamath, four times he got birth in hell. Once he got birth as lion and twice as snake. He killed many innocents. Only once he got birth of human being and that too as vagabond... How can he worship God over there? On the other hand the soul of Marubhuti, who was responsible for insult of Kamath, also wandered so much... Marubhuti, elephant, Kiranveg, Vajranabh and Suvarnabahu... in all the five births he tolerate vexation done by the soul of Kamath. In births of any tirthankar, this was happened for the first time that one soul exerted till death for five times.

Once, princess was playing in the garden with her friends. The wives of deities came for worshipping God in the nearby temple. They were praising Parshwakumar.

Here, on the other side, the Yavan, King of Kaling arrived at Kushasthal city along with his army as he is induced by the beauty of Prabhavati. King Prasenjeet has called for your help to accomplish her daughter's wish. King... Kindly come along with your army and show brutal Yavan your miracle. King Ashwasen started preparation to go to help his friend Prasenjeet. Meanwhile, Parshwakumar came and stopped his father. Parshwakumar solely went to Kushasthal city and was successful in defeating Kaling's prince Yavan. King Prasenjeet became emotional by the valour of Parshwakumar. "Prince! You did great favour to me and saved me. Now, kindly wed with my daughter and bless me." Princess Prabhavati was very happy. How to control the joy after looking at the triumph ofbeloved one? Parshwakumar was there to favour and fight. How can he accept the proposal for marriage without his father's permission? 205 For Private Personal use only

Parshwakumar was renunciatory and how worldly lavishness can please renunciatory soul? Parshwakumar returned back to Banaras from Kushasthal city. King Prasenjeet came to Banaras along with princess Prabhavati. King Ashwasen warmly welcomed King and princess. "King! Kindly accept the marriage proposal of my daughter for Parshwakumar." King Ashwasen and queen Vamadevi both were very happy on this proposal. The parents forced Parshwakumar and eventually Parshwakumar also accepted the same thinking that, "My Bhogavali Karma are still remaining" Once, Parshwakumar was watching his township sitting in the corridor. At the same time he was surprised as all were going in same direction and all had various necessary materials for worship in their hands. He enquired and known that Kamath, who was a poor child from Brahmin ancestry, was doing various penances. All were going for worshipping that ascetic. Here, ascetic Kamath was doing one great penance called Panchagni. Parshwakumar also came with his family to have glimpse of Kamath. Avadhigyani God saw snake burning in the fire place. Instantly he said to Kamath, "Oh... Great Ascetic! Compassion is the mother of all the religions. In this fire one snake is burning. Can't you see this?"

"Prince! You ride on elephants and horses... You play... You fight... and enjoy... What do you know about religion? We saints only know what religion is." Parshwakumar immediately ordered servants and took out burning piece of wood from fire. Carefully he cut the wood and shattered big snake came out. Parshwakumar told 'Navkar' to that snake and consoled it. It got peaceful death and reborn as Nagraj Dharanendra deity. All acclaimed Parshwakumar and disregarded Kamath. Kamath reviled Parshwakumar and went somewhere else. He started various types of penances and died. In the next birth he became deity named Meghmali at Meghkumar heaven (a type of Bhavanpati deities' heaven). Parshwakumar returned to palace along with family. One day, Parshwakumar went to art gallery. He saw the pictures of Nemikumar's marriage. He also saw the pictures showing how renunciatory Nemikumar forsook Rajimati. Renunciatory Parshwakumar became more renunciatory and now he was determined. Meanwhile, Lokantik deities known that God's initiation time is coming soon and hence, they requested God to establish sacrament and God started 'Varsidan'.

On the next day he broke his fast with Kheer at the place of civilian Dhanya, at Koptak city. The deities rejoiced in sky with five divyas on this occasion. Chhadmastha God was meditating in the ascetic's hermitage. Deity Meghmali; the rival of last ten births came over there. He tried to disturb God. He released dangerous lions having paw of sharp nails and teeth like thunderbolt. After that, he released dangerous elephants, bears, leopards, poisonous snakes. But, God was completely engrossed. At last, that depraved deity started torrential rainfall along with hazardous lightening. Dams and rivers were overflowing. The level of water was increasing very fast from God's knee to chest and so on... In few seconds water level reached God's neck. At the same time seat of Nagraj Dharanendra trembled. He known that God is in trouble and he produced golden lotus under God's feet. He protected God by making umbrella of his seven mouths. He covered whole body of the God and space arround him. God standing on lotus was looking like settled in divine plane. Meghmali was completely astonished. Dharmendra deity immediately said, "Oh... Wicked!

and because of this only you had born acute pain in hell. Just think! God won't sink due to torrential rainfall done by you. But, you only will sink in ocean of births..." Finally, Meghmali awaked. He apologized and returned to his place. Dharnendra worshipped God and he also went to his place. God had same feeling towards both tyrannical Meghmali and saviour Dharnendra. He didn't have any attachment with Dharnenda or hate for Meghmali. Hence, it is called, "Kamathe Dharnendre Cha... Swochitam Karma Kurvati... Prabhustulya Manovruttim" After wandering for eighty four days as Chhadmastha, God again came to Banaras. In Ashrampad garden, he was meditating below Ghatki tree. He had done penance of Aththam.

Below twenty seven bows long Chaitya tree sitting on studded seat God started his lecture. Listening to his lecture on fifteen Karmadan many souls pursued initiation and many souls became Shravak in real sense. Aryadutt etc. 10 became ganadhars of God Parshwanath. King Ashwasen, mother Vamadevi and queen Prabhavati etc. also pursued initiation.

God Mahaveer Swami BIRTH-1-2-3-4 In Pruthvi Pratishthanpur city, at Mahavapra continent of Jambudweep's western Mahavideh, Mayer named Naysar was living One important principle of Naysar helped him in attaining appropriate tutor (Guru) 216

Page #233
He was following the rule "Not to eat without feeding guest" He went into forest in search of guest and he had vision of Munibhagwant. He got golden opportunity of Supatradan (innocent bhiksha) Naysar also showed right route to saints. Looking at the gentle and eligible Naysar saints also prompted to show Bhavmarg (way of religion) to Naysar. The saints provided exact understanding of Dev, Guru, Dharm (God, spiritual guide and Religion). Naysar also learnt Namaskar Mahamatra in accurate manner. Oh! How wonderful Jainism is! Naysar attained Samyak Darshan with the knowledge regarding evaluation of Dev, Guru and Dharm. He had been remembering favour done by the saints. He completed his life and reborn as deity in the first heaven with the life of one sagaropam. He arranged various programs for worshipping God and made his Samyak Darshan cleaner, which he had attained in the birth of Naysar. After completing life in the heaven, in the next birth he got birth as son of first sovereign King Bharat; the son of first Tirthankar God Rushabhdev. He was named as Marichi. The matured Marichi forsook world and pursued initiation after listening to the lectures of God Rushabhdev. However, Marichi was having very delicate body and because of strong Charitravarniya Karma, he was unable to bear pains of saint's life. He designed a new dress of Tridandi by his own sense. Though he brought leniency in the rules of saint's life he had extraordinary faith on God's words. Looking at new dress, many souls came to Marichi to understand religion. The good orator Marichi showed everyone the correct way of God. And listening to For Private 217sonal Use Only

him many souls became renunciatory. They were having desire for initiation. Marichi inspired them to join the way shown by God Rushabhdev. Once, God Rushabhdev came to Vinita. The deities constructed place of sermons. King Bharat was present for listening to God's lecture. At the end of lecture King Bharat asked God, "God! Is there any soul in this class (Parshada) who will become tirthankar in this team of twenty four tirthankar (Chovisi)?" God introduced Marichi, not only as last tirthankar of this Chovisi but also as first Triprushtha Vasudev of this avasarpini and sovereign named Priymitra at videh. King Bharat was very glad on listening to this. He came to Marichi and bowed him after three rotations and told, "I am not bowing to your dress but you will be the Tirthankar in future. And hence, I am bowing you." He narrated the whole things told by God. Marichi's joy was totally uncontrollable. Proud Marichi started dancing, "Oh... How great my lineage is! My grandfather is the first Tirthankar, my father is the first sovereign and now I will be the first Vasudev!!! Really, no one will have such a great lineage in the world... Again I will be the sovereign, I will be the Tirthankar! Oh...! What a great lineage!" proud Marichi constituted Neech Gotra Karma... After the demise of God Rushabhdev he done great big mistake in the birth of Marichi. Once, Marichi caught disease... How can saints of God serve Asanyat (here, Marichi is called as Asanyat as he was not following principles of self conduct properly)? Hence, Marichi thought, "I For Private Personal Use Only 218

Page #235
should also make one person my disciple." Meanwhile, he lessoned Prince Kapil and Kapil developed attachment with Marichi. He decided to pursue initiation from Marichi. Marichi told him to pursue initiation from saints of God. Kapil said, "Is there no religion in your living?" Finished... who will look after me in future? This thought compelled Marichi to tell lie. He replied, "Kapil there is religion in both living in my as well as in their." Because of this sentence only, rotation in world increased for God's soul. Samyaktwa attained in birth of Naysar was lost in the birth of Marichi. After completing life, Marichi reborn as Mahardhik deity in heaven named Brahma. He had life often sagaropam.

The cousin brother Vishakhanandi was jealous of handsome and mighty Vishwabhuti. Once, Vishakhanandi cheated Vishwabhuti and his family because of which they had to leave the palace. Annoyed Vishwabhuti hit the Kotha tree and all fruits fell down from the tree. He told his cousin Vishakhanandi that, "I have a power to separate heads and bodies of all you people in this manner only. But, I am not doing such a disgusting work because I respect my elders. I am abandoning this world." And Vishwabhuti pursued initiation. He did many penances. He did Masakshaman (one month continuous fasts) in sequence and his healthy body got converted into lean. Once, Vishwabhuti Muni came to Mathura city for innocent bhiksha. A cow hit him and he got collapsed. At the same time, cousin Vishakhanandi was passing near by from chariot. That wicked Jain Education Internati 220

person saw this scene. He mocked, "Oh! Where is your power of destroying Kotha tree?" Muni forgot that he is saint and became furious. He lifted cow by its hat horns and threw it in the sky.

After completing life of one crore years he became deity at Mahashukra heaven in the seventeenth birth. In the eighteenth birth he came to the womb of queen Mrugavati. She was the wife of King Ripupratishatru (Prajapati) ruling over Pottanpur city of this Bharatkshetra. The queen dreamed seven great dreams indicating that fetus will become Vasudev. He was baptized as Triprushtha. The matured Triprushtha killed death defying lion at Tung Mountain without any weapon. That lion was the soul of Vishakhanandi. Triprushtha's power became world famous. He scuffled with Prativasudev Ashwagriv and conquered lordship of three continents. Proud Vasudev Triprushtha poured boiling lead into the ears of servant. He constituted ruthless and brutal dense Karma. He did many sinful deeds and after completing life of eighty four lacs years, in nineteenth birth he became hellish in the seventh hell.

He did Masakshaman in sequence. Such a great penance was done by him non stop for one lakh years. During self conduct span of one lakh years, he did 11,80,645 Masakshaman... He did Vishasthanak penance with Masakshaman... With a great feeling in the heart that "If I have such a power so that I can divert all lives towards religion" (Jo Hove Muj Shakti Aaisi Savi Jeev Karu Shashanrasi) he constituted Tirthankar Namkarma. After having peaceful death in the twenty sixth birth he became Mahardhik deity at Pranat heaven. BIRTH-27 The last birth of the honourable skipper God Mahaveer... At Jambudweep's Bharatkshetra, near Kshatriyakund city, in Brahmankund village, one learned Brahmin Rushabhdutt was living. The soul of God came to the womb of his wife Devananda. Generally, God never belongs to Brahmin lineage (Bhikshachari). In the birth of Marichi God did pride of his lineage and constituted Neech Gotra Karma. Due to this his soul passed eighty two days in the womb of Devananda who was belonging to the Brahmin lineage. By order of Saudharmendra Maharaja Haringamaishi deity done the womb transplant from embryo of Devananda to embryo of queen Trishala. The queen Trishala was the wife of King Sidhhartha ruling over Kshatriyakund city. God came to the womb of Devananda on the sixth day of bright half of Ashadh month and came to the womb of Trishaladevi on thirteenth day of dark half of Ashwin month. When God was in embryo of Devananda, the For Priva223 Personal Use Only

Devananda had dreamed fourteen great dreams and when he came to the womb of Trishaladevi, Devananda dreamed that all the fourteen dreams were going towards queen Trishala. And at the same time Trishaladevi also dreamed fourteen great dreams. The dream characteristic reader narrated the result of all the fourteen dreams. Listening to the same Trishaladevi became cheerful. Fetus God remained steady so that mother didn't get any trouble. But, Trishaladevi started howling and all in the palace were dazed. The queen was very upset. Avadhigyani God realized mother's lamentation and God again started movements in the embryo. The queen Trishala again became joyful. After completion of pregnancy in Uttarashadha constellation, on thirteenth day of bright half of Chaitra month, queen delivered golden coloured baby boy having blot of lion. Immediately, after the God's birth 56 Dikkumaris and 64 Indras celebrated the stupendous birth ceremony as per their convention. King Sidhharth also celebrated the birth ceremony for ten days. There was continuous progress in the stock of money and food grains etc. when God was in embryo and hence, God was baptized as 'Vardhman'. The eight years old Vardhman defeated deity of Saudharmendra heaven with excellent patience and heroism. Hence, he became famous as 'Mahaveer'. When infatuated parents sent eight years old Vardhmankumar to school Saudharmendra Maharaja thought that this is the insult of Jain Education Internatio 224 FOFPR 224"rsonal use only

the person who had knowledge of three types. To stop this insult Saudharmendra Maharaja him self disguised as Brahmin and came to school. He asked very tough questions to Vardhmankumar but, Vardhmankumar answered very well. Listening to his answers teacher also wondered! Saudharmendra introduced Prince Vardhmankumar. Having height of seven hands Vardhmankumar became matured. The parents pressurized him for marriage. Due to this he thought that, "My Bhogavali Karma are still remaining." And he married with Yashoda; the daughter of King Samaveer. Unenthusiastically he passed time in the world. God had a daughter named Priydarshana. When God was twenty eight years old parents passed away. The period of swear which he had vowed in embryo was now over. He went to elder brother Nandivardhan for taking permission for initiation. Because of pressure of elder brother God stayed in world for two more years. When one year was left for God's initiation, nine Lokantik deities requested God to establish sacrament and God started 'Varsidan'. He did donation for one year and after that along with thousands of deities and people Vardhmankumar left Kshatriyakund city for pursuing initiation. The deities constructed palanquin having length of 50 bows, width of 25 bows and height of 36 bows. Sitting in such a divine palanquin named Chandraprabha God reached Gyatkhandvan garden. God removed all his ornaments by himself and wore the divine cloth given by Indra Maharaja. Having two days fast God For Private Personal Use Only TOPVA 226

solely vowed for 'Sarva Virti' in Uttarashadha constellation, on tenth day of dark half of Margashirsh (Kartik) month. (In case of all other tirthankar many people have pursued initiation along with God but Vardhmankumar alone pursued initiation) Immediately God attained Manparyavgyan. God broke his fast with kheer at the place of Bahul Brahmin in Kollag Sannivesh. He gave great fight to Karma in the Chhadmastha period of twelve and a half years. The very first vexation was started on first night by cowherd and after twelve and a half years also the last vexation was done by cowherd only. In the temple at Asthik village, dangerous vexations were done by Shoolpani in one night and at the end understanding was provided by God to Shoolpani! When God went towards Shwetambi city Chandakaushik - a sight poisonous snake did great vexation to God and still compassionate God provided understanding to that hazardous snake also. The vexation done by Sudanshtram Nagkumar deity and protection and worship done by Kambal and Shambal Nagkumar deities. Because of senseless and childish behaviour of cowherd; who was roaming along with God, God has to face imprisonment. But still God was composed and patient. ww.ainelibrary.org 228

At Non-Aryan countries vexation of various types are done by Barber people Once God was meditating at Polas temple of Dradhbhumi area. Saudharmendra Maharaja praised God's patience at his assembly. The unfortunate and wicked Sangam deity couldn't bear the praise of God. He was jealous. He did twenty vexations in one night on God to break his concentration from meditation. Still he was not satisfied. He did misdeeds because of which God didn't get innocent food for six months. God did six months fast that too without water. In spite of all these God was impartial he didn't has any dislike towards Sangam deity. When God reached Kaushambi city he did great resolution. That resolution was accomplished by Chandanbala after five months and twenty five days. In Vasudev Triprushtha's birth God poured boiled lead into the ears of servant. As a result of which the soul of servant, who became cowherd in this birth, has hit pegs into the God's ears. He put the pegs in such a way that the ends of both the pegs were touching each other inside. In tremendous pain also God was composed. The physician Kharak and the merchant Siddhardha tried to remove the pegs from God's ears. At that time God screamed because of unbearable pain. 230

The great penance done by God within twelve and a half years period is as under: Six months fast Five months and twenty five days fast Four months fast Two months fast One month fast 15 days fast Three months fast 45 days fast 75 days fast N-a oarada God also did great penance called Bhadra Pratima (Two days fast along with enormous worship), Mahabhadra Pratima (Four days fast along with enormous worship) and Sarvato Bhadra Pratima (Ten days fast along with enormous worship). In twelve and a half years, God took food only for 349 days, remaining days he did fast that too without water. He did great penance to break his Karma. He did enormous worship. Once, outside Jrumbhak village, at the bank of Hrujubalika River, in the farm of Syamak, below Shal tree he was meditating. He had two days fast. God attained pure Kevalgyan in Uttaraphalguni constellation, on tenth day of bright half of Vaishakh month. Immediately, the deities constructed place of sermons. Due to misfortune of this Bharatkshetra God's first lecture was unsuccessful. No one had the quality of pursuing initiation. Next dayi.e. on eleventh day of bright half of Vaishakh month, he went to Pawapuri. The deities constructed sermons. Plaintiff Indrabhuti Jain Education Interna 232

Gautam etc. 11 Brahmins came to attend his lecture and to clear their doubts. They pursued initiation and God's administration was established. Indrabhuti etc. eleven became God's ganadhars and Chandanbala etc. became the nuns of God. Many people also became Shravak in real sense. Honourable God Mahaveer attained Kevalgyan at the age of 42 years. Afterwards, he roamed for 30 years in various villages and cities and did great favour to many souls during this period. From Apapapuri he came to Brahmankund city. He inspired past parents Devananda and Rushabhdutt; and they both pursued initiation. Then God came to Kshatriyakund city. He inspired daughter Priyadarshana and son-in-law Jamali. They pursued initiation. Along with Jamali and Priyadarshana other 500 princes and 1000 princesses pursued initiation. Jamali learned eleven parts of our Agam. He was conducting lecture for more then 1000 saints. Once, Jamali Muni came to Shravasti city. Jamali Muni was suffering from severe acidity. He ordered other saints to arrange his bed. Jamali was unable to tolerate the pain. And hence, he became angry. He saw that saints were arranging the bed. Saints told that bed is ready. At that time Jamali's conceit arose. He yelled, "When work is in progress it can not be said that work is done... I do not agree with God's principle." Many saints went to God after looking TOP 234

at the proud Jamali. Nun Priyadarshana preferred the side of Jamali because of the infatuation towards husband. Now Jamali was arrogant by thinking that "I am superior than others." Once, Jamali came to Shravasti city along with other saints. Nun Priyadarshana also came along with 1000 nuns. Jamali was in the garden. And nuns were in the school of potter Dhank. Potter Dhank was the great follower of God Mahaveer. To realize the truth to Nun Priyadarshana he threw spark of fire on her cloths. She said, "Oh! Fortunate! What are you doing? My cloth has been burn by you." "Respected Nun! Has the cloth burn according to our opinion? When cloth gets burn fully then only that cloth is called as burn. Why are you speaking lie?" Priyadarshana realized her mistake. She came with her family of all nuns and apologized in front of God Mahaveer. And she followed the correct way of God. Jamali didn't realize his mistake because of intense conceit. He spent his life as saint and worshipped self conduct for many years and hence, he became Kilbishiya deity (one type of inferior deities) at sixth heaven in the next birth. After attaining Kevalgyan also God has to bear vexation done by cowherd. The cowherd released fire towards God. However, that fire renounced to cowherd's body. After bearing terrible ache of burn he apologized for his misdeeds and reborn as deity in the twelfth heaven. But, after completing life at heaven he will roam in For Prival 235ersonal Use Only

In the administration of God Mahaveer, Matang having vehicle of elephant was the adhishthayakdev and Sidhhayika having vehicle of lion was the adhishthayakadevi. The Last Tirthankar Honourable God Mahaveer passed thirty years of his life as Kevali. And he inspired many souls, saved them from this world and helped them in achieving salvation.

God's first gandhar Gautamswami was the head of 5000 disciple and all attained Kevalgyan. The miraculous ganadhar Gautamswami had intense fascination for God. Because of which Gautamswami had attained Kevalgyan after the demise of God Mahaveer. God Mahaveer Swami's family was as under: 14,000 Saints 36,000 Nuns 300 Persons with 14 great powers 1,300 Avadhigyani 500 Manparyavgyani 700 Kevalgyani 400 Plaintiff 700 Persons with Vaikriya power 159,000 Shravak 318,000 Shravika 236

God hunched his end time and came to Apapapuri. The deities constructed place of sermons. God conducted lecture for non stop 16 prahars (approximately 48 hours). He explained the importance of struggle for salvation in all four types of struggle. God predicted the future of his administration by the result of the eight dreams which were dreamed by King Punyapal. He described the conditions of lives. He also told the names of tirthankars and sovereigns etc. 63 great men who will get birth in next utsarpini. After the lecture God came to assembly of King Hastipal. He sent ganadhar Gautam to edify Brahmin Devsharma. God had two days fast. In Swati constellation, on last day of dark half of Kartik (Ashwin) month, after midnight, God passed away. The whole Bharatkshetra was grief. Ganadhar Indrabhuti Gautam got this news and he started weeping. Renunciatory he also attained Kevalgyan early in the morning. God passed 30 years in world, 12.5 years as Chhadmastha and 30 years as Kevali. In this way after completing life of 72 years God passed away. "Vandan Ho!
