र जब इस पृथ्वीका त्याग कर रहा था तब नाना नगर और सवर्णादिकी खानोंसे सुशोभित यह पृथ्वी उसके मनमें जीर्णतृणके समान तुच्छ जान पड़ती थी॥२८२॥ तदनन्तर सगर चक्रवर्ती भीमरथ नामक पुत्रके साथ अजितनाथ भगवान्की शरणमें गया। वहाँ दीक्षा धारण कर उसने केवलज्ञान प्राप्त किया और तदनन्तर सिद्धपदका आश्रय लिया अर्थात् मुक्त हुआ ।।२८३।।
सगर चक्रवर्तीका पुत्र जह्न का लड़का भगीरथ राज्य करने लगा। किसी एक दिन उसने श्रुतसागर मुनिराजसे पूछा ।।२८४॥ कि हमारे बाबा सगरके पुत्र एक साथ किस कमके उदयसे मरणको प्राप्त हुए हैं और उनके बीचमें रहता हुआ भी मैं किस कर्मसे बच गया हूँ ॥२८५।। भगवान् अजितनाथने कहा कि एक बार चतुर्विधसंघ सम्मेदशिखरकी वन्दनाके लिए जा रहा था सो मार्गमें वह अन्तिक नामक ग्राममें पहुंचा ॥२८६|| संघको देखकर उस अन्तिक ग्रामके सब लोग कुवचन कहते हुए संघकी हँसी करने लगे परन्तु उस ग्राममें एक कुम्भकार था उसने गांवके सब लोगोंको मना कर संघकी स्तुति की ।।२८७॥ उस गाँवमें रहनेवाले एक मनुष्यने चोरी की थी सो अविवेकी राजाने सोचा कि यह गाँव ही बहुत अपराध करता है इसलिए घेरा डालकर साराका सारा गाँव जला दिया ।।२८८।। जिस दिन वह गाँव जलाया गया था उस दिन मध्यस्थ परिणामोंका धारक कुम्भकार निमन्त्रित होकर कहीं बाहर गया था ।।२८९।। जब कुम्भकार मरा तो वह बहुत भारी धनका अधिपति वैश्य हआ और गांवके सब लोग मरकर कौड़ी हए । वैश्यने उन सब कौड़ियोंको खरीद लिया ॥२९०।। तदनन्तर कुम्भकारका जीव मरकर राजा हुआ और गाँवके जीव मरकर १. अथ म.।
