## Chapter Twenty-Two
**323**
Even so, I shall narrate the story, relying on the Vidhyadharas. What is not touched by the light of the Lord of Medicines (Moon), can it be touched by ordinary medicines? (i.e., anything touched by the Lord of Medicines can be touched by ordinary medicines).
**50**
The Lord Vrishabhadeva, the first of the age, who showed the means of livelihood to the world, had been initiated into the kingdom by Bharateshwara.
**51**
At that time, the fierce Kshatriya kings, descendants of Ugra and Bhoj, along with four thousand others, were engaged in penance. But later, they were corrupted by the Paroshahas.
**52**
Among them, there were two brothers, Nimi and Vinimi, who were corrupted. They desired the kingdom and stood at the feet of the Lord, seeking it.
**53**
At that time, the protector of the world, the Jain devotee Dharanendra, along with many Dharanas (divine beings) and his wives, Diti and Aditi, came and comforted Nimi and Vinimi.
**54**
That great soul, the devotee of the Jinas, gave them the Vidya-kosa (treasure of knowledge) in the presence of the Jina, through his wives.
**55**
Aditi Devi gave them eight categories of knowledge and revealed the Vidya-kosa called Gandharvasenaka.
**56**
Those eight categories of knowledge were: 1. Manu, 2. Manava, 3. Kaushika, 4. Gaurika, 5. Gandhara, 6. Bhumitunda, 7. Mulaviryaka, and 8. Shankuka. These categories are also known as Arya, Aditya, Gandharva, and Vyomchara.
**57-58**
Diti, the other wife of Dharanendra, also gave them eight categories: 1. Matanga, 2. Panduka, 3. Kala, 4. Swapaka, 5. Parvata, 6. Vanshalaya, 7. Panshu-mula, and 8. Vrikshamula. These categories are known as Daitya, Pannaga, and Matanga.
**59-60**
These sixteen categories are said to contain the following knowledge, which is considered supreme among all knowledge:
