In the Harivamsha Purana, it is stated that the Lord simultaneously perceived all objects with a single, pure, and unobscured eye. Just as the sun, when it rises, does not require any order or assistance to illuminate objects, so too, the Lord did not need any such thing. ||65||
All the Ahm-Indras, with their hands joined and heads bowed, advanced seven steps from their respective seats. The remaining Indras and Devas, their hearts filled with joy, approached from all sides. ||66||
The kings of men, the lords of the three worlds, worshipped the Lord, who had manifested as a Champaka tree, with devotion. They honored this extraordinary, inconceivable, and infinite being, who possessed the eight extraordinary qualities. ||67||
When the twelve ganas were seated in their respective assemblies, the Ganadhara Visakha, with humility, inquired about the nature of the twelve-limbed Anuyoga path. In response, the Lord expounded the Dharma and manifested the Tirtha on earth. ||68||
The Indras and other Devas, having performed the fourth Kalyanak puja of the Lord, departed to their respective places after paying their respects. The Lord, showering the nectar of Dharma upon countless beings, wandered through many lands. ||69||
There were twenty-eight Ganadharas who knew all fourteen previous Kalpas of the Lord Munisuvratnath, and thirty thousand monks. This Sangha of the Lord was of seven types, possessing various qualities. ||70||
In that Sangha, there were five hundred Muni-Rajas, twenty-one thousand students, eighteen hundred Avadhi-Jnani, the same number of Kevala-Jnani, twenty-two hundred Vikriya-Riddhi holders, fifteen hundred Vipula-Mati holders of Manah-Paryaya knowledge, twelve hundred renowned Vadi who had overcome hatred, fifty thousand Aryikas, one hundred thousand Shravakas who observed Anuvrata, Gunavrata, and Shikshavrata, and 1. Mekam M. ||71||
The Lord, the destroyer of time, through the fire of meditation, burned the vast amount of fuel in the form of karma, and attained Kevala-Jnana. He sanctified the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Margashirsha. ||64||
Now, it is only right that the Lord should perceive all objects simultaneously with a single, pure, and unobscured eye of Kevala-Jnana, because when the sun, devoid of any covering, rises, it does not require any order or assistance to illuminate objects. ||65||
At that time, all the Ahm-Indras, with their hands joined and heads bowed, advanced seven steps from their respective seats. The remaining Indras and Devas, their hearts filled with joy, approached from all sides. ||66||
