216 In the Uttarapurana of the Mahapuraana, on the third day of the Krittika constellation, he attained liberation. At that time, all the gods came together in harmony and joy. ||43|| They prayed and performed the fourth auspicious puja. There were thirty-five Ganadharas, starting with the self-born one. ||44|| There were seven hundred Muni-Rajas, the best of the knowers of the past. There were fifteen thousand one hundred and fifty Mahavedi teachers, with a clear intention. ||45|| There were two thousand five hundred who had attained the knowledge of the third stage, pure and clear. There were three thousand two hundred who were radiant with the knowledge of liberation, with two zeros and two vahus. ||46|| There were five thousand one hundred who were adorned with the knowledge of the two-sense-organ stage, with two zeros and one sense-organ. There were three thousand three hundred who were holders of the fourth knowledge. ||47|| There were fifty-two thousand who were known as the best debaters. All of them, sixty thousand Muni-Rajas, were his followers. ||48|| There were sixty thousand three hundred and fifty Aryikas, starting with the Bhavitta. There were three hundred thousand Shravikas and two hundred thousand Shravakas. There were countless gods and goddesses, and a countable number of Tiryanchas. ||49|| The Lord, through the divine sound, preached Dharma to all of them, while wandering. ||50|| After wandering through many lands, when his lifespan was reduced to one month, he reached Sammed Shikhar. There, with a thousand Munis, he took on the form of a statue. ||51|| On the first day of the bright fortnight of Vaisakha, in the early part of the night, when the Krittika constellation was rising, he uprooted all his karmas and attained the supreme state. Now he was free from the stain of karma. The gods performed the puja of his Nirvana-Kalyanak. His supreme state was filled with pure knowledge and detachment, and was imperishable. ||53|| The king, Simharatha, who was known as Prithutapa, was a master of all accomplishments. He was blessed with two Kalyanakas, and was the chief of the six armies and the three worlds. He had attained the eight qualities, and was radiant like a jewel on the peak of the three worlds. His glory was unshakable, and he was a source of prosperity for all directions. ||54|| The Lord, who was pure, took the vow of Tela and sat under the Til tree in the forest where he took his initiation. There, on the third day of the bright fortnight of Chaitra, in the evening, in the Krittika constellation, he attained liberation. At that time, all the gods came together in joy.
