ऐसे दुष्ट द्वारपालोंने उन मुनिराजको दूरसे ही शीघ्र निकाल दिया || १२ || इन्हें ही नहीं, 'राजभवन में विद्यमान राजकुमार धर्मका शब्द न सुन ले' इस भयसे नगर में जो और भी मुनि विद्यमान थे उन सबको नगरसे बाहर निकाल दिया ||१३||

इस प्रकार वचनरूपी वसूलीके द्वारा छीले हुए मुनिराजको सुनकर तथा देखकर जिसका भारी शोक फिरसे नवीन हो गया था, तथा जो भक्ति से युक्त थी ऐसी सुकोसल धाय चिरकाल बाद अपने स्वामी कीर्तिधरको पहचानकर गला फाड़-फाड़कर रोने लगी ||१४-१५ ।। उसे रोती सुनकर सुकोशल शीघ्र ही उसके पास आया और सान्त्वना देता हुआ बोला कि हे माता ! कह तेरा अपकार किसने किया है ? || १६ || माताने तो इस शरीरको गर्भमात्र में ही धारण किया है पर आज यह शरीर तेरे दुग्ध-पानसे ही इस अवस्थाको प्राप्त हुआ है ||१७|| तू मेरे लिए मातासे भी अधिक गौरवको धारण करती है । बता, यमराज के मुखमें प्रवेश करनेकी इच्छा करनेवाले किस मनुष्यने तेरा अपमान किया है ? || १८ || यदि आज माताने भी तेरा पराभव किया होगा तो मैं उसकी अविनय करनेको तैयार हूँ फिर दूसरे प्राणोकी तो बात ही क्या है ? ||१९|| तदनन्तर वसन्तलता नामक धायने बड़े दुःखसे आँसुओंको धाराको कमकर सुकोशल से कहा कि 'तुम्हारा जो पिता शिशु अवस्था में ही तुम्हारा राज्याभिषेक कर संसाररूपी दुःखदायी पंजरसे भयभीत हो तपोवनमें चला गया था आज वह भिक्षाके लिए आपके घरमें प्रविष्ट हुआ सो तुम्हारी माताने अपने अधिकारसे उसे द्वारपालोंके द्वारा अपमानित कर बाहर निकलवा दिया || २०-२२ || उसे अपमानित होते देख मुझे बहुत शोक हुआ और उस शोकको मैं रोक नहीं सकी। इसलिए हे वत्स ! मैं रो रही हूँ ||२३|| जिसे आप सदा गौरवसे देखते हैं उसका पराभव कौन कर सकता है ? मेरे रोनेका कारण यही है जो मैंने आपसे कहा है ||२४|| उस समय स्वामी कीर्तिधरने हमारा जो उपकार किया था वह स्मरण में आते ही शरीरको स्वतन्त्रतासे जलाने लगता है ||२५|| पापके उदयसे दुःखका पात्र बननेके लिए ही मेरा यह शरीर रुका हुआ है । जान पड़ता है यह लोहे से बना है इसलिए तो स्वामीका वियोग होनेपर भी स्थिर है ||२६|| निर्ग्रन्थ मुनिको

## Twenty-Second Chapter

Even all other Lingins were expelled from the city at that time. The king was afraid that the prince would hear the word Dharma. || 13 ||

Hearing and seeing the Muni-punga who was being robbed by words, the devoted Kirti-dhar's foster mother, Su-koshal, was filled with grief and sorrow. || 14 || Recognizing her master Kirti-dhar after a long time, she cried out loud, tearing her throat. || 15 ||

Hearing her cry, Su-koshal came to her and comforted her, saying, "Mother, who has wronged you?" || 16 ||

"Mother only carried this body in her womb, but this body has reached this state only because of your milk." || 17 ||

"You are more honorable to me than my mother. Tell me, who, desiring to enter the mouth of Yama, has insulted you?" || 18 ||

"If even my mother has defeated you today, I am ready to be disrespectful to her, what to speak of others?" || 19 ||

Then, the foster mother, Vasanti-lata, with great difficulty, reduced the flow of her tears and told Su-koshal, "Your father, who had you crowned king in your childhood and then, fearing the cage of worldly sorrows, entered the forest of penance, has come to your house today for alms. Your mother, by her authority, had him expelled by the gatekeepers." || 20-22 ||

"Seeing him being humiliated, I was filled with great sorrow, and I could not stop it. Therefore, my dear son, I am crying." || 23 ||

"Who can defeat the one whom you always see with honor? This is the reason for my crying, which I have told you." || 24 ||

"Remembering the favor that Lord Kirti-dhar did for us at that time, my body starts burning freely." || 25 ||

"This body of mine is stuck here to be a recipient of suffering due to the rise of sin. It seems to be made of iron, for even in the separation of the Lord, it remains steady." || 26 ||

The Nirgrantha Munis were expelled by the wicked gatekeepers from afar. || 12 ||

Not only them, but all other Munis residing in the city were also expelled from the city, fearing that the prince residing in the palace would hear the word Dharma. || 13 ||

The Muni-punga, who was robbed by words, was heard and seen by Su-koshal, the devoted foster mother of Kirti-dhar, whose grief was renewed. She recognized her master Kirti-dhar after a long time and cried out loud, tearing her throat. || 14-15 ||

Hearing her cry, Su-koshal came to her and comforted her, saying, "Mother, who has wronged you?" || 16 ||

"Mother only carried this body in her womb, but this body has reached this state only because of your milk." || 17 ||
