Mahapuraana, Uttara Puraana
There were 4,000 Kevala Jnani (Omniscient) lords, adorned with 6,000 Vikriya Riddhi (powers of transformation). 491. There were 4,000 Manah Paryaya Jnani (knowers of the mind's transformations) and 4,400 Pujya Vadi (those who are worthy of worship). 492. All together, there were 62,000 Muni Raj (ascetic kings), 60,300 Aryika (female ascetics) starting with Harishena, 200,000 Shravak (laymen) starting with Surakirti, and 400,000 Shravika (laywomen) starting with Arhadasi. There were countless Devas (gods) and Devis (goddesses) and a countable number of Tiryanch (animals). 493-494. Thus, with 12 and a half ganas (groups), he taught the right Dharma (religion). 495. While wandering, when only one month of life remained, he came to Sammed Shikhar and stopped wandering, becoming immobile in Yoga. 496. On the 14th of the month of Jyeshtha, in the first part of the night, he completed his actions and, through the third Shukla Dhyana (meditation), he stopped all Yogas and removed all bonds. 497. In the time it takes to pronounce the five letters "A, Ka, Ra, Pa, and Cha," he attained the state of A-Yoga Kevali (liberated from all Yogas). Through the fourth Shukla Dhyana, he destroyed the three bodies. 498. He then went to the front of the Lok (universe) in the Bharani Nakshatra (star), where only his Gun (qualities) remained as his body. He went to the place where the infinite, spotless Siddhas (liberated souls) resided in the past. 499. At that time, four types of Devas, including Indra, free from laziness and possessing great devotion, came and, after performing the final rites - Nirvana Kalyanak (celebration of liberation) - they went to their respective places. 500. Similarly, 9,000 Muni Raj, starting with Chakraayudha, also attained Nirvana after meditating and abandoning the three bodies - Audarik (physical), Tej (subtle), and Karman (karmic). 501.
Thus, those who attained the supreme knowledge, vision, happiness, and strength, who resided in the supreme Audarik body, who attained the supreme place of wandering, who were called Arhant, and whose steadfast worship was done by Indra, may Shri Shanti Nath Bhattarak grant you all the seven supreme places. 502.
