The Twentieth Chapter
433
One thousand years and seventy-two years are mentioned as the lifespan of the twenty-fourth Tirthankara, Mahavira.
The lifespans of the Tirthankaras are mentioned in order. Listen now to the details of the Chakravartis who were born in between the Tirthankaras.
The first Chakravarti, Bharat, was born to King Rishabhadeva and Queen Yashovati. This Chakravarti's name made this region known as Bharat in all three worlds.
This Bharat was a prince named Pitha in the city of Pundarika in his previous birth. He attained Sarvarthasiddhi after becoming a disciple of Kushasen Muni. After that, he became the Chakravarti Bharat. He was constantly filled with dispassion, and after shedding his hair and nails, he attained Kevala Jnana and reached Nirvana.
The second Chakravarti, Sagar, was born in the city of Prithvipur. He was a disciple of the Muni Yashodhar. After attaining the highest state of liberation, he was reborn in Ayodhya as the son of King Vijay and Queen Sumangala. He was so powerful that even the gods respected his commands. He enjoyed the highest pleasures and then, due to the grief of losing his sons, he renounced the world and took the Jain initiation. He attained Kevala Jnana and reached Siddhalaya.
The third Chakravarti, Maghava, was born in the city of Shravasti. He was the son of King Sumitra and Queen Bhadravati. He was a disciple of the Muni Vimala in the city of Pundarika. He enjoyed the highest pleasures of the world in the city of Greveyak. He was a tree for the creeper of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. He was born between the Tirthankaras Dharmanatha and Shantiantha. He took the vows of a monk and was born in the Saudharma heaven according to his meditation.
After this, the fourth Chakravarti, Sanatkumar, was praised by Gautam Swami. King Shrenik asked, "O Bhagavan, by what virtue did he become so beautiful?"
The lifespans of the Tirthankaras were: Aranatha - 84,000 years, Naminatha - 10,000 years, Mallinatha - 55,000 years, Muni Suvrata - 30,000 years, Neminatha - 1,000 years, Parshvanatha - 100 years, and Mahavira - 72 years.
O Shrenik, I have thus described the lifespans of the Tirthankaras in order. Now listen to the details of the Chakravartis who were born in between the Tirthankaras.
