उन्होंने कहा कि यह हाथी अत्यधिक पराक्रमको उत्कटतासे पहले तो परम क्षोभको प्राप्त हुआ था और उसके बाद पूर्वभवका स्मरण होनेसे शान्तिको प्राप्त हो गया था ॥२६॥ इस कर्मभूमिरूपी युगके आदिमें इसी अयोध्या नगरीमें राजा नाभिराज और रानी मरुदेवीके निमित्तसे शरीरको प्राप्तकर उत्तम नामको धारण करनेवाले भगवान् ऋषभदेव प्रकट हुए थे। उन्होंने पूर्वभवमें तीन लोकको क्षोभित करनेवाले तीर्थङ्कर नाम कर्मका बन्ध किया था उसीके फलस्वरूप वे इन्द्रके समान विभूतिसे प्रसिद्धिको प्राप्त हुए थे ॥३०-३१।। विन्ध्याचल और हिमाचल ही जिसके उन्नत स्तन थे तथा समुद्र जिसकी करधनी थी ऐसी पृथिवीका जिन्होंने सदा अनुकूल चलनेवाली अपनी पतिव्रता पत्नीके समान सदा सेवन किया था ॥३२॥ तीनों लोक जिन्हें नमस्कार करते थे ऐसे वे भगवान ऋषभदेव पहले इस अयोध्यापुरीमें उस प्रकार रमण करते थे जिस प्रकार कि . स्वर्गमें इन्द्र रमण करता है ॥३३॥ वे श्रीमान ऋषभदेव द्युति तथा कान्तिसे सहित थे, लक्ष्मी, श्री और कान्तिसे सम्पन्न थे, कल्याणकारी गुणोंके सागर थे, तीन ज्ञानके धारी थे, धीर और गम्भीर थे, नेत्र और मनको हरण करनेवाली चेष्टाओंसे सहित थे, सुन्दर शरीरके धारक थे, बलवान थे और परम प्रतापी थे ॥३४-३५।। जन्मके समय भक्तिसे भरे सौधर्मेन्द्र आदि देवोंने सुमेरु पर्वतपर सुवर्ण तथा रत्नमयो घटोंसे उनका अभिषेक किया था ॥३६॥ इन्द्र भी जिनके ऐश्वर्यकी निरन्तर चाह रखते थे उन ऋषभदेवके गुणोंका वर्णन केवली भगवान्को छोड़कर कौन कर सकता है ? ॥३७॥ बहुत लम्बे समय तक लक्ष्मीके उत्कृष्ट वैभवका उपभोग कर वे एक दिन नीलाञ्जना नामकी अप्सराको देख प्रतिबोधको प्राप्त हुए ॥३८॥ लौकान्तिक देवोंने जिनकी स्तुति की थीं ऐसे महावैभवके धारी जगद्गुरु भगवान् ऋषभदेव अपने सौ पुत्रोंपर राज्यभार सौंपकर घरसे निकल पड़े ।।३६।। यतश्च भगवान् प्रजासे निःस्पृह हो तिलकनामा उद्यानमें गये थे इसलिए लोकमें वह उद्यान प्रजाग इस नामका तीर्थ प्रसिद्ध हो गया ॥४०॥ वे भगवान् समस्त परिग्रहका त्यागकर एक हजार वर्ष तक मेरुके समान अचल प्रतिमा योगसे खड़े रहे अर्थात् एक हजार वर्ष तक उन्होंने कठिन तपस्या की ॥४१॥ स्वामिभक्तिके कारण उनके साथ जिन चार हजार राजाओंने मुनिव्रतका धारण किया था वे छ: महीनेके भीतर ही दुःसह परीषहोंसे पराजित हो गये ॥४२॥

Padmapurana
He was overwhelmed with extreme agitation due to his great strength, but remembering his past life, he attained peace. ||26|| In the beginning of this age, which is the field of karma, he was born in the city of Ayodhya, taking a body from the womb of Queen Marudevi and bearing the name Uttama. He had bound the karma of a Tirthankara in his previous life, which caused him to be famous for his greatness, like Indra. ||30-31|| He was the lord of the earth, whose lofty breasts were the Vindhya and Hima mountains, and whose girdle was the ocean. He always served the earth, like a devoted wife who always pleases her husband. ||32|| He was Lord Rishabhadeva, who was worshipped by the three worlds. He roamed in the city of Ayodhya, just as Indra roams in heaven. ||33|| He was the glorious Rishabhadeva, adorned with brilliance and radiance. He was endowed with Lakshmi, Sri, and beauty, and was an ocean of auspicious qualities. He possessed the three knowledges, was wise, patient, and profound. His actions were captivating to the eyes and mind. He had a beautiful body, was strong, and was the most powerful. ||34-35|| At the time of his birth, the gods, led by Saudharma Indra, performed his abhisheka with golden and jeweled pots on Mount Sumeru, filled with devotion. ||36|| Who can describe the qualities of Rishabhadeva, whose wealth is constantly desired even by Indra? ||37|| After enjoying the supreme wealth of Lakshmi for a very long time, he saw the apsara Nilanjana and attained enlightenment. ||38|| The gods of the world praised him. The great teacher of the world, Lord Rishabhadeva, who possessed great wealth, left his home after entrusting his kingdom to his hundred sons. ||39|| Since he went to the garden called Tilaka, renouncing all worldly desires, that garden became known as the pilgrimage site of Prajagar in the world. ||40|| He stood like an immovable mountain, like Mount Meru, for a thousand years, renouncing all possessions. He performed severe austerities for a thousand years. ||41|| The four thousand kings who had taken the vow of a monk, due to their devotion to their master, were defeated by the unbearable hardships within six months. ||42||
