Viccheda of Caturdasapurva at time of Sthulabhadra in V. N. 170 (697). The question regarding the Viccheda (698-). The birth of Mahāvīra when there remained 74 years and 8 months for the end of fourth Araka and his death occurred when 3 years and 8 months and 15 days remained for the end of the same (704-5). Sudharma Jambu, Prabhava Sayyambhava Jasabhadda, Sambhuto, Bhaddbahu (707-), due to anavṛsti monks had to leave the Magadha (712), after returning back
Sangha
ते विंति एक्कमेकं सज्झाओ कस्स केत्तिओ घरति । हदि दुठ्ठकालेणं अम्हं नट्टो उ सज्झाओ ॥ ७१७॥
जं जस्स धरई कंठे ते ते परियठ्ठिऊण सव्वेसिं । तो णेहि पिंडिताई तहियं एक्कारसगाई ॥ ७१८ ॥
Some of the monks go to Bhaddabahu and say to him on behalf of
तं अज्जकालियजिणो वीरसंघो तं जायए सव्वो । पुव्वसुयक (व) म्मधारय पुव्वाणं वायणं देहि ||७२३||
but as he was not ready to give Vacana was asked by the monks as to what will be the danda proper for you for such behaviour (724-6). He replies :सो भणति एव मणिएं अविसन्नो वीरवयण नियमेण । वज्जेयव्वो सुयनिहओ त्ति अह सव्वसाहूहिं ॥७२७||
then the monks say to him
-
ŚRUTA-SARITĀ
तं एवं जाणमाणो नेच्छसि नो पाडिपुच्छियं दाउं । तं थाणं पत्तं कह तं पासे ठवेहामो ॥७२८|| वारसविहसंभोगो वज्जए तो तयं समणसंघो । जं ने जाईज्जंतो न वि इच्छसि वायणं दाउं ॥ ७२९ ॥
on this he agrees to give Vacana (730), so more than 500 monks go to him, one of them being Sthulabhadra who only remains with him upto the end (738-), as he learns the 11th purva, his seven sisters come to him and a miracle is performed by him (749-) and knowing this Bhadrabahu informs him to discontinue the further vacana. But on his request he gives him vacana of the rest (764-). Story of previous life of Sthulabhadra (772-), Bhadrabahu though gives Vacana of the last four purvas to him he is not permitted to teach them to others; so, after him only ten Purvas remain (797-)
एतेण कारणेणं उ पुरिसजुगे अठ्ठमम्मि वीरस्स । सराहेण पणट्टा जाण चत्तारि पुव्वाई ॥ ७९८ ।।
