The Forty-Seventh Chapter
This is a special vessel, a great vessel for the propagation of the Dharma. Thus, the great king, the Lord of the Universe, declared it to be so. ||284||
He who has abandoned all possessions, has attained the essence of the scriptures, has attained the highest restraint, and is constantly growing with the seven perfections, is the seventy-first Ganadhara of the Lord. ||285-286||
Sulochana, who was overwhelmed with grief at the loss of her husband, and who was like a withered creeper fallen from a flourishing Kalpa tree, was consoled by the queen of the Chakravarti, Subhadra, and took initiation from the Brahmi Aryika. She, who is destined for liberation in the coming Kalpa, performed austerities for a long time and was born as a deva in the Uttara Vimana of the Achyuta heaven. ||287-288||
The Lord, who is the propagator of the path of liberation, is adorned with many perfections, surrounded by eighty-four Ganadharas, starting with Vrishabhasena, and accompanied by four thousand seven hundred and fifty Purvajnani, four thousand one hundred and fifty Shiksha Muni, nine thousand Muni who possess the Avadhijnana, twenty thousand Kevala Jnani, twenty thousand six hundred Muni who possess the Vikriya Riddhi, twelve thousand seven hundred and fifty Muni who possess the Manahparyaya Jnana, twelve thousand seven hundred and fifty Vadis who have refuted the Parvadis, and eighty-four thousand eighty-four Muni who have attained the wealth of restraint, and are constantly worshipped by the Brahmi and other three hundred and fifty thousand Aryikas, served by three hundred thousand Shravakas, praised by five hundred thousand Shravikas, and whose lotus feet are worshipped by the Bhavanavasi and other four types of Devas and Devis, and the four-footed and other Tiryancha creatures. ||289-297||
