## The Trishatittama Parva
**206** The devotees, led by Indra, desired to attain the same level of restraint as the Lord. They purchased the merit, the "punya," with the currency of devotion, "bhakti," and went towards the realm of the gods. **477**
The Lord of the Universe, Shantinath, entered the city of Mandarapur, driven by the desire for food. King Sumitra, with great celebration, offered him the "prasook" meal, and thus obtained the five wonders. **478-479**
Continuing his austerities in this way, he purified the entire earth. With the desire to conquer the enemy of delusion, he thinned his passions. **480**
Accompanied by many great sages, including Chakraayudh, the glorious Lord Shantinath entered the Sahasraamravan forest. He sat beneath the Nandyaavart tree, observing the fast of "tela." **481**
On the tenth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Pausha, the most excellent Lord, seated on a "palyanka" bed, faced east. He had attained all external qualities, including "nirgrantha." He was situated in the middle of the "kshapka" category, having attained the three "karana" - "adhakarana," "apuurvakarana," and "anivrittikarana." **482-483**
He was mounted on the chariot of the fourth "charitra," known as "sukshmasampraaya." With the sword of the first "shukladhyaan," he destroyed the enemy of delusion. He became "vitraag," the holder of the "yathaakhyaat charitra." After a short time, he destroyed the "ghaatiya" with the wheel of the second "shukladhyaan." In this way, he remained in the state of "chhadmastha" for sixteen years. **484-485**
He became "nirgrantha" due to the destruction of the "mohaniya karma." He became "neeraaj" due to the absence of "jnaanavaran" and "darshanavaran." He became "vitavighna" due to the destruction of "antaraaya." He became the friend of the entire world and attained the peaceful kingdom of "kevalgyaan." **486**
At that time, a great wind of merit, known as "tirthankara," arose, stirring the ocean of gods of the four "nikaya." **487**
All beings, moved by the waves of devotion that arose within them, offered worship to the Lord of all beings, Shantinath, with offerings of jewels and other things. **488**
In his assembly, there were thirty-six "ganadharas," led by Chakraayudh. There were eight hundred "paradarshi" of the past. There were forty-one thousand eight hundred "shikshaka," and three thousand possessed pure eyes of "avadhigyaan." **489-490**
**476** Shantinath Bhagwan was observing restraint.
