तो सबसे उत्तम और सबका भला करनेवाले श्री शान्तिनाथ जिनेन्द्रका ही निरन्तर ध्यान करते रहो । ॥ ५०६ ॥ भोगभूमि आदिके कारण नष्ट हुआ मोक्षमार्ग यद्यपि ऋषभनाथ आदि तीर्थंकरोंके द्वारा फिर फिरसे दिखलाया गया था तो भी उसे प्रसिद्ध अवधिके अन्त तक ले जानेमें कोई भी समर्थ नहीं हो सका । तदनन्तर भगवान् शान्तिनाथने जो मोक्षमार्ग प्रकट किया वह बिना किसी बाधाके अपनी अवधिको प्राप्त हुआ । इसलिए हे बुद्धिमान् लोगो ! तुम लोग भी आयगुरु श्री शान्तिनाथ भगवान्की शरण लो । भावार्थ - शान्तिनाथ भगवान्ने जो मोक्षमार्ग प्रचलित किया था वही आज तक अखण्ड रूपसे चला आ रहा है इसलिए इस युगके श्रद्यगुरु श्री शान्तिनाथ भगवान् ही हैं । उनके पहले पन्द्रह तीर्थंकरोंने जो मोक्षमार्ग चलाया था वह बीच-बीच में विनष्ट होता
जाता था ।। ५१० ॥
इस प्रकार नाम से प्रसिद्ध, भगवद्गुणभद्राचार्यप्रणीत त्रिषष्टिलक्षण महापुराण संग्रह में शान्तिनाथ तीर्थंकर तथा चक्रवर्तीका पुराण वर्णन करनेवाला त्रेसठवाँ पर्व समाप्त हुआ ।

Mahapuraana, Uttara Raanam
Having left behind Shantijina, let wise people meditate on Sarvottama, the one who is the best of all, 1
Always meditate on Sarva Shantijina, those who desire peace themselves. || 509 || The path to liberation, destroyed by Puru and others, was shown again by the Tirthankaras, starting with Rishabhanatha.
But no one was able to take it to the end of the famous Aavdhi. Then, the path to liberation, revealed by Lord Shantijnath, reached its own Aavdhi without any obstacle.
Therefore, O wise people, take refuge in the great teacher, Lord Shantijnath. || 510 ||
Thus ends the sixty-third chapter of the Trishattilakshana Mahapuraana, composed by Bhagavadguna Bhadracharya, which narrates the story of Shantijnath Tirthankara and Chakravarti.

Therefore, constantly meditate on the most excellent and benevolent Lord Shantijnath Jinendra. || 506 || The path to liberation, destroyed due to the causes of the Bhogabhoomi, was shown again and again by the Tirthankaras, starting with Rishabhanatha, but no one was able to take it to the end of the famous Aavdhi. After that, the path to liberation revealed by Lord Shantijnath reached its own Aavdhi without any obstacle. Therefore, O wise people, take refuge in the great teacher, Lord Shantijnath. Meaning - The path to liberation, established by Lord Shantijnath, has continued uninterruptedly till today. Therefore, Lord Shantijnath is the Shraddhaguru of this age. The path to liberation established by the previous fifteen Tirthankaras was destroyed from time to time. || 510 ||
Thus ends the sixty-third chapter of the Trishattilakshana Mahapuraana, composed by Bhagavadguna Bhadracharya, which narrates the story of Shantijnath Tirthankara and Chakravarti.
