SAMBHAVAJINA CARITRA
253 thousand munis, also, like spotless parts of the Master, reached the final abode by the same process.
As prince, the Lord passed fifteen lacs of pūrvas ; as king, forty-four lacs of pūrvas plus four pūrvāngas; and as a mendicant a lac of pūrvas less four pūrvāngas. So Lord Šri Sambhava passed sixty lacs of pūrvas. Thirty lacs of crores of sägaras after the nirvāṇa of Ajita Svāmin the nirvāṇa of Lord Sambhava took place.
Then the Indras cremated the body of Sambhava, Lord Jina, and performed the other rites properly. They took the molars and (other) teeth, after dividing them suitably ; 896 and the (other) gods took the collection of bones. The Indras went to their own homes, and the gods heaped up the Master's bones on the top of the pillar Māṇava to worship them. What part of the Lords of the Tirtha is not worthy to be worshipped ?
