SRI MAHĀPADMACAKRICARITRA
103
After he had practiced severe penance fair with various and numerous special vows, and had acquired the wealth of omniscience by the destruction of the ghātikarmas, Padma went to the place which is the home of eternal delight.
In this section two who were both Jinas and cakrins, two Jinas, two cakrins, two Rāmas, two Haris (Väsudeva), two Pratiharis have been celebrated. Fourteen 87 noble illustrious persons have the quarters of the sky pervaded by their fame. May this noble conduct of theirs be the guest of the ears of the world.
87 I.e., in making up the total of 63, the ones who were both Cakrins and Jinas are counted twice. Thus the 12 persons whose biographies are given in this parvan count as 14.
