अथानन्तर संसारके तीव्र भयसे भयभीत पाण्डव, पल्लव देशमें विहार करते हुए श्री नेमिजिनेन्द्रके समीप पहुंचे। उस समय भगवान् चार प्रकारके देवोंसे व्याप्त समवसरणको सुशोभित कर रहे थे एवं अष्ट प्रातिहार्यरूप परम ऐश्वर्य से युक्त थे। पाण्डवोंने प्रदक्षिणा देकर भगवान्को नमस्कार किया ।। १-२॥ तदनन्तर प्राप्त हुए जिनेन्द्ररूपी वर्षा कालसे धर्मामृतका पान कर उन्होंने अपने पूर्वभव पूछे और श्रीजिनेन्द्र इस प्रकार उनके पूर्वभव कहने लगे ॥ ३ ॥ इसी भरतक्षेत्रकी चम्पानगरीमें जब कुरुवंशका आभूषणस्वरूप राजा मेघवाहन पृथिवीकी रक्षा करता था, तब वहाँ सोमदेव नामका एक ब्राह्मण रहता था। उसकी सोमिला नामकी स्त्री थी और उससे उसके सोमदत्त, सोमिल और सोमभूति नामके तीन पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए थे ॥४-५|| इन पुत्रोंके मामाका नाम अग्निभूति था, उसकी स्त्री अग्निला थी और उन दोनोंके क्रमसे धनश्री, सोमश्री और नागश्री नामकी तीन कन्याएं उत्पन्न हुई थीं जो कि उक्त तीन पुत्रोंकी क्रमसे स्त्रियां हुई थीं ॥ ६॥ समस्त वेदोंका जाननेवाला ब्राह्मण सोमदेव कदाचित् शरीरभोग

## Chapter Sixty-Four

The Pandavas, terrified by the intense fear of the cycle of birth and death, reached the Pallva country where they found the Lord Jinendra, adorned by four types of gods, residing in the Samavasarana, and possessing the eight extraordinary powers. They circumambulated and bowed to the Lord. || 1-2 ||

Having drunk the nectar of Dharma from the rain-like form of the Jinendra, they inquired about their past lives. The Jinendra then narrated their past lives. || 3 ||

In the same Bharat Kshetra, in the city of Champa, when King Meghavahana, the ornament of the Kuru dynasty, was protecting the earth, there lived a Brahmin named Somadev. He had a wife named Somila, and they had three sons: Somadatta, Somil, and Somabhuti. || 4-5 ||

Their maternal uncle was Agnibhuti, whose wife was Agnila. They had three daughters: Dhanshri, Somashri, and Nagashri, who were respectively married to the three sons of Somadev. || 6 ||

Somadev, the knower of all the Vedas, became disgusted with the cycle of birth and death and took initiation into the Jain religion. || 7 ||

His three sons, Somadatta and the others, were also inclined towards the Jain religion. They were devoted to the duties of householders and followed the four aims of life: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. || 8 ||

One day, a monk named Dharma Ruchi, who seemed like an unbroken piece of Dharma, entered their house while on his begging rounds. || 9 ||

Somadatta, with great humility, offered him hospitality. After offering hospitality, he became busy with other work and entrusted Nagashri with the task of offering alms. || 10 ||

Due to the karmic consequences of her past sins, Nagashri, filled with anger towards the monk, offered him food mixed with poison. As a result, the monk attained liberation through death by renunciation. || 11 ||

Knowing about Nagashri's evil deed, the three brothers were deeply saddened. They renounced the world and took initiation from the Guru Varuna. || 12 ||

Dhanshri and Mitrashri, overwhelmed by the sorrow of worldly existence, also desired to take initiation, but they were prevented by their respective husbands. || 13 ||
