## Chapter Forty-Four: The Great Fast
**Verse 150:** The highly esteemed Muni, bound by the great merit of the Tirthankara nature, capable of shaking the seats of the three realms, renounced a month's food. He then, with a pure mind, diligently performed the four types of worship praised by the wise, and thus, being the sustainer of twenty-two Sagaras, he was born in the Jayanta heaven, a vast realm of happiness.
**Verse 151:** Having attained the three omniscient eyes, and thus seeing the state of the three realms, this highly esteemed Muni, worthy of the Ahmindras, will enjoy the unparalleled happiness of the essence of Samsara in the Jayanta heaven. He will then be born as the twenty-second Tirthankara, Nemishvara, the jewel of the Harivansha mountain, the auspicious one, from the queen Shiva, the wife of King Samudravijaya.
Thus ends the forty-fourth chapter of the Harivansha Purana, composed by Jinaseanacharya, which is a collection of the Arishta-Nemipuraana, and describes the method of the great fast.
