In the Harivansh Purana, the great soul Narada, having taken initiation, attained the destruction of the cycle of birth and death and the imperishable liberation through the power of his austerities. ||24||
Many other worthy souls, who were the holders of the three jewels, also attained liberation, and many others who were about to be liberated from the cycle of birth and death, went to heaven. ||25||
Standing on the peak of the high mountain, Baldev also performed various austerities, being determined to destroy the cycle of birth and death. ||26||
He performed fasts for one day, two days, three days, and so on, up to six months, thereby drying up the passions and the body, and nourishing the soul. ||27||
Determined to sustain his life by begging in the wilderness, Baldev Muni wandered through the wilderness, and people saw him, who was like the moon, wandering. ||28||
Hearing the news that Baldev was wandering in the wilderness, the kings of the surrounding areas were disturbed and came there. ||29||
Seeing those kings, who were filled with the poison of doubt and armed with various weapons, Dev Siddharth created a group of lions in that forest. ||30||
Seeing the lions near the feet of the Muni, those kings, realizing the power of the Muni, bowed down and became calm. ||31||
From that time onwards, Baldev Muni became known in the world as Narasimha. He was adorned with a broad chest like a lion, and was accompanied by lion-like attendants. ||32||
After performing austerities for a hundred years, Baldev Muni finally attained samadhi, and as a result, he attained the position of Indra in the Brahma Lok. ||33||
There, in the radiant, jeweled chariot called Padma, which was filled with groups of gods and goddesses, and adorned with palaces and gardens, he was born as a god, just like...
1. The attainment of liberation by Narada is contradictory to other Digambar texts, as they show him going to hell. 'Kalhappia kadaai ghammaraha Vasudevasamakala. Bhava nirya gadi te hinsadoshena gachchanti' Triloksar Gatha 835. || 'Ruttavar aru panihana havami savve ve. Kalahamaha jujjhapia adhogaya Vasudevanva'. || 1470 Tri. Pra. Or, here, Narada should be understood as the son of Vasudeva, born from his wife Somashri. Narada, the Marudeva, is also the son of Somashri. Sarg 48, Shlok 57 Harivansh Purana. 2.
