यह श्रीधर मुनिराजकी वन्दनाके लिए शीघ्रतासे सीढ़ियोंपर उतरता चला आ रहा था कि साँपके काटनेसे उसने शरीर छोड़ दिया ॥६५॥ वह मरकर माहेन्द्र नामक चतुर्थ स्वर्गमें उत्पन्न हुआ । वहाँसे च्युत होकर पुष्करद्वीपके चन्द्रादित्य नामक नगरमें राजा प्रकाशयशका पुत्र हुआ। माधवी इसकी माता थी और स्वयं उसका जगद्युति नाम था। यौवनका उदय होनेपर वह अत्यन्त श्रेष्ठ राज्यलक्ष्मीको प्राप्त हुआ ॥६६.६७॥ वह संसारसे अत्यन्त भयभीत रहता था, इसलिए वृद्ध मन्त्री उपदेश दे देकर बड़ी कठिनाईसे उससे राज्य कराते थे ॥४८॥ वृद्ध मन्त्री उससे कहा करते थे कि हे वत्स ! कुलपरम्परासे आये हुए इस सुन्दर राज्यका पालन करो क्योंकि राज्यका पालन करनेसे ही समस्त प्रजा सुखी होती है ।।६६भूषण, राज्यकार्यमें स्थिर रहता हुआ सदा तपस्वी मुनियोंको आहारादिसे सन्तुष्ट रखता था। अन्तमें वह मरकर देवकुरु नामा भोगभूमिमें गया और बहाँसे मरकर ऐशान स्वर्गमें उत्पन्न हुआ ।।१००॥ वहाँ परम कान्ति को धारण करनेवाले उस भूषणके जीवने देवीजनोंसे आवृत होकर तथा नानारूपके धारक हो अनेक पल्यों तक भोंगोंका उपभोग किया ॥१०१।। वहाँसे च्युत हो जम्बूद्वीपके पश्चिम विदेह क्षेत्र में अचल चक्रवर्तीकी बालमृगीके समान सरल, रत्ना नामकी रानीके सब लोगोंको आनन्दित करनेवाला महागुणोंका धारी पुत्र हुआ। वह पुत्र शरीर तथा नाम दोनोंसे ही अभिराम था अर्थात् 'अभिराम' इस नामका धारी था और शरीरसे अत्यन्त सुन्दर था ॥१०२-१०३।। अभिराम महावैराग्यसे सहित था तथा दीक्षा धारण करनेके लिए उद्यत था परन्तु चक्रवर्तीने उसका विवाह कर उसे जबर्दस्ती ऐश्वर्यमें-राज्यपालनमें नियुक्त कर दिया ॥१०४॥ सदा तीन हजार स्त्रियाँ, जलमें स्थित हाथीके समान उस गुणी पुत्रका सावधानी पूर्वक लालन करती थीं ॥१०॥ उन सब स्त्रियोंसे घिरा हुआ अभिराम, रतिसम्बन्धी सुखको विषके समान मानता था और शान्त चित्त हो केवल मुनिव्रत धारण करनेके लिए उत्कण्ठित रहता था परन्तु पिताकी परतन्त्रतासे उसे वह प्राप्त नहीं कर पाता था ॥१०६।। उन सब स्त्रियोंके बीचमें बैठा तथा हार केयूर मुकुट आदिसे विभूषित हुआ वह अत्यन्त कटिन असिधारा व्रतका पालन करता था ॥१०७।। जिसे चारों ओरसे स्त्रियाँ घेरे हुई थीं ऐसा वह श्रीमान् अभिराम, उत्तम आसनपर बैठकर उन सबके

The 55th Chapter

This is a hymn in praise of Shri Dhar Muni. He was descending the stairs when he was bitten by a snake and gave up his body. ||15|| He was born in the fourth heaven called Maheindra. From there he fell and was born in the city of Chandra Aditya in the Pushkar island as the son of King Prakash Yash. His mother was Madhavi and he was named Jagad Yuti. When he reached the peak of youth, he attained the highest fortune of the kingdom. ||16-17|| He was very afraid of the world, so the old ministers taught him and with great difficulty made him rule. ||18|| The old ministers said to him, "O son! Protect this beautiful kingdom that has come down from your lineage, because only by protecting the kingdom will all the people be happy." ||19|| He was adorned with the ornaments of the kingdom, and he always kept the ascetics happy by providing them with food and other necessities. Finally, he died and went to the land of enjoyment called Devakuru, and from there he was born in the heaven of Aishan. ||100|| There, he enjoyed many pleasures for many Palyas, surrounded by goddesses and taking on various forms, while possessing supreme radiance. ||101|| From there, he fell to the western Videha region of Jambudvipa, and was born as the son of Queen Ratna, who was as simple as a young female buffalo of the immovable Chakravarti. He was a bearer of great virtues, who brought joy to all beings. He was beautiful in both body and name, that is, he was named 'Abhiram' and was very beautiful in body. ||102-103|| Abhiram was endowed with great dispassion and was eager to take initiation, but the Chakravarti forcibly married him and appointed him to the position of ruler, thus keeping him in the world of wealth. ||104|| Three thousand women constantly nurtured him, a virtuous son, with care, like an elephant in water. ||105|| Surrounded by all those women, Abhiram considered the pleasures of love as poison, and with a peaceful mind, he was eager to take the vows of a monk, but he could not achieve it due to his father's control. ||106|| Sitting amidst all those women, adorned with garlands, bracelets, crowns, and other ornaments, he performed the very difficult vow of Asidhara. ||107|| He, the glorious Abhiram, sat on a fine seat, surrounded by women, and gave teachings that praised the Jain religion. ||108||
