The Sixty-sixth Chapter
This chapter contains the lineage of the great ascetics, starting with Vinayandhara, who possessed the secret scriptures (Guptasruti), the secret sages (Guptarishi), and the great sage (Munishvara) Shivaguapta. Arhadbali, Mandararaya, Mitraviravi, Baldeva, Mitraka, Singhbala (who was adorned with the three jewels and increasing merit), Veeravit, Padmasena (who held the lotus of virtues), Vyagrahrasta (who was superior in virtues), Nagahasti, Jitadanda, Nandishena, Dipasena, Sri Dharasena (who was a treasure of penance), Sudharmasena, Singh Sena, Sunandishena, Ishvarasena, Sunandishena, Abhayasena, Bhima Sena, Jinasena, and Shanti Sena were all great ascetics.
Following them was Jayasena, who was the holder of the unbreakable six divisions (Shatkhand) and the complete doctrine (Siddhant). He was the knower of the Shatkhandagama, the holder of the scriptures (Shruti) that described the nature of karma, and the conqueror of the senses. His disciple was Amitasena, who was a renowned grammarian, influential, and a traverser of the ocean of the complete doctrine. He was the leader of the pure Punnatagaṇa. He was a lover of the Jina's teachings, a great ascetic, and lived for a hundred years. Amitasena, the chief among the generous, illuminated the earth with his generosity through the gift of scriptures.
Amitasena's elder brother, Kirtisena, was a peaceful, wise, and virtuous monk who spread his penances throughout all directions. I, Jinasena, was his first disciple. With the devotion of Arishta Nemiji, the Jina who enjoys the supreme bliss of liberation, I, Jinasena, the son of Sura, have composed this Harivansha Purana to the best of my ability, with my limited intellect.
