Bharata himself came to see him and praised him. Bahubali however, remained in different to the praise and was engrossed in acquiring the qualities which a Jain monk should acquire. In course of time he attained Kevalajñāna. Gods headed by Indra came to him and praised him. Bharata also was glad to hear the news that his brother had become a Keva lin. Thereafter he enjoyed perfect sovereignty over the six continents of the earth. ]
2. 11 gg foreT3 95 as afas, I was defeated by you, and you have once ( 5, ase) forgiven me.
3. 1-375 g etc. If you, after having lifted me by your arms, had thrown me on the ground with a crash, if it had not been possible for my disc to save me, would any body have seen me alive? You have thus won or conquered even earth in forgiveness; you have frightened Indra ( 48fa, #fra:. i. e., Fre) by your valour. 10–11 afara, etc. To the sun there is a counterpart in the moon; to the Mandara mountain there is (small) Mandara ; to Indra there is Pratindra, but o son of queen Nanda (i. e., Jarer ) to you alone I do not see any second or counterpart.
5. 6675 gafa etc. If even after this (talk) you do not desire to have le earth, i. e., do not desire to rule over the earth, then return it to him who gave it to you, i. e. to Risaha, our father. It means Bahubali is quite unwilling to rule and asks Bharata to rule as before.
6. 75 Hffa etc. Hatred ( aty, ka:), having left you, now stands in the form of a dark spot on the moon who is called state, staratit ( TE + TT, 3142 ).
7. ga qafafa, i. e. five afafas viz., feu, HAT, TATT Bert and goat. Note that the word afufa often retains in this book as also fofs in the next line. 9b आवासयजोउ, practice or observance of the six आवश्यकs, viz., सामाइय, चवीसइत्यव, वन्दण, पडिक्कमण, काउस्सग्ग and पच्चक्खाण.
10. This kadavaka and the next record that Bahubali, as monk, acquired the knowledge of certain tenets of Jainism and practised them. These tenets are arranged in numbers from one to thirty-two. A similar mention of these tenets occurs in the Uttaradhyayana Satra, XXXI, and also in this book in XXXVII 15-17. I think it is a good occasion for me to treat them here fully.
(1) एक्कह जीवह गुण मणि भाविय, he cultivated in his mind the quality of Jiva which is one, i. e., solitariness, as nobody can share the effects of acts done by him. This गुण may be उपयोग as defined in तत्त्वार्थसूत्र II. 8 ( उपयोगो
