उन सब राजाओं की पुत्रियोंके साथ गुणपालका विवाह हुआ । इस प्रकार वह गुणपाल उन कन्याओंके मिलने से बहुत ही हर्षित हुआ ।। १७५-१७६॥
अथानन्तर - किसी समय जिसका मोक्ष जाना अत्यन्त निकट रह गया है ऐसा गुणपाल काललब्धि आदिसे प्रेरित होकर आकाशकी ओर देख रहा था कि इतनेमें उसकी दृष्टि अकस्मात् अन्धकारसे भरे हुए चन्द्रग्रहणकी ओर पड़ी, उसे देखकर वह सोचने लगा कि इस संसारको धिक्कार हो, जब इस चन्द्रमाकी भी यह दशा है तब संसारके अन्य पापग्रसित जीवोंकी क्या दशा होती होगी ? इस प्रकार वैराग्य आते ही उस उत्कृष्ट बुद्धिवाले गुणपालको जाति स्मरण उत्पन्न हो गया जिससे उसे अपने पूर्वभवके सम्बन्धका प्रत्यक्षकी तरह स्मरण होने लगा ॥१७७ - १७९ ।। उसे स्मरण हुआ कि पुष्करार्ध द्वीपके पश्चिम विदेहमें पद्मक नामका एक प्रसिद्ध देश है, उसके कान्तपुर नगरका स्वामी राजा कनकरथ था । उसकी रानीका नाम कनकप्रभा था, उन दोनोंके मैं अपनी प्रभासे सूर्यको तिरस्कृत करनेवाला कनकप्रभ नामका पुत्र हुआ था । किसी दिन एक बगीचेमें विद्युत्प्रभा नामकी मेरी स्त्रीको सांपने काट खाया, उसके वियोगसे मैं विरक्त हुआ और अपने ऊपर अत्यन्त स्नेह रखनेवाले पिता माता तथा भाइयोंके साथ साथ मैंने समाधिगुप्त मुनिराजके समीप उत्कृष्ट संयम धारण किया था ।। १८० - १८३ ।। वहां मैं दर्शनविशुद्धि आदि सोलह भावनाओंका अच्छी तरह चिन्तवन कर आयुके अन्तमें जयन्त नामके विमान में अहमिन्द्र उत्पन्न हुआ था ।। १८४|| और अन्तमें वहांसे चयकर यहां श्रीपालका पुत्र गुणपाल हुआ हूं । वह इस प्रकार विचार ही रहा था कि इतनेमें ही *समुद्रदत्त, +आदित्यगति, कुवायुरथ और सेठ कुबेरकान्त जो कि तपश्चरण कर लौकान्तिक देव हुए थे उन्होंने आकर समझाया । इस प्रकार प्रबोधको प्राप्त हुए गुणपाल मोहजालको नष्ट कर तपश्चरण करने लगे और घातिया कर्मोंको नष्ट कर सयोगिपद - तेरहवें गुण स्थानको प्राप्त हुए ।। १८५-१८७।। सुखावतीका पुत्र यशपाल भी उन्हीं गुणपाल जिनेन्द्रके पास दीक्षा धारण कर

Mahapuraanam
Perhaps, prompted by the attainment of time, etc., there was a cessation of the anointing. Looking at the sky, which was suddenly darkened. || 177 || Seeing the lunar eclipse, one might think, "This is the state of the world." What is the state of others who are afflicted by sin? || 178 || Thus, realizing this, the noble-minded, born with the memory of his previous birth, remembers his connection with his past life as if it were before his eyes. || 179 || In the western part of Pushkarardha Dweep, in the famous country called Padmaka, there was a king named Kanakarath, the lord of the earth, in the city of Kantpur. || 180 || Kanakarath had a beloved queen named Kanakaprabha. I was born to them as Kanakaprabha, the son who eclipsed the sun with his brilliance. || 181 || One day, in a garden, my beloved wife, named Vidyutprabha, was bitten by a snake. I was heartbroken by her loss and, along with my parents and brothers who loved me dearly, I took refuge with the great sage Samadhigupta. || 182 || There, I deeply contemplated the sixteen principles, including Darshanavishuddhi, and at the end of my life, I was born as Ahamindra in the celestial chariot called Jayanta. || 183 || Then, at the end, I came here and was born as Gunapala, the son of Shripala. || 184 || While he was thinking this, *Samudradatt, +Adityagati, Kuvayurath, and the merchant Kuberakant, who had become Lokantik Devas through their austerities, came and enlightened him. Thus, Gunapala, having attained enlightenment, destroyed the web of delusion and began to practice austerities. He eradicated his harmful karmas and attained the Sayogipada, the thirteenth Gunasthan. || 185-187 || Yashpala, the son of Sukhavati, also took initiation from the same Gunapala Jinendra. || 188 ||
Gunapala was overjoyed to be united with the daughters of all those kings. || 175-176 ||
Then, after some time, Gunapala, whose liberation was very near, was prompted by the attainment of time, etc., and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the lunar eclipse, which was filled with darkness. Seeing it, he thought, "Damn this world! If even the moon is in this state, what must be the state of other sinful beings in the world?" As soon as this detachment arose, the noble-minded Gunapala, born with the memory of his previous birth, remembered his connection with his past life as if it were before his eyes. || 177-179 || He remembered that in the western part of Pushkarardha Dweep, in the famous country called Padmaka, there was a king named Kanakarath, the lord of the earth, in the city of Kantpur. || 180 || Kanakarath had a beloved queen named Kanakaprabha.
