विशुद्धताको धारण करनेवाले भगवान् तेलाका नियम लेकर अपने दीक्षा लेनेके वनमें तिलकवृक्षके नीचे विराजमान हुए। वहीं चैत्रशुक्ला तृतीयाके दिन सायंकालके समय कृत्तिका नक्षत्रमें उन्हें केवलज्ञान उत्पन्न हो गया। उसी समय हर्षके साथ सब देव आये। सबने प्रार्थनाकर चतुर्थकल्याणककी पूजा की। उनके स्वयंभूको आदि लेकर पैंतीस गणधर थे, सात सौ मुनिराज पूर्वोके जानकार थे,
लीस हजार एक सों पचास ममवेदी शिक्षक थे, दो हजार पाँच सौ निमेल अवधिज्ञानके धारक थे तीन हजार दो सौ केवलज्ञानसे देदीप्यमान थे, पाँच हजार एक सौ विक्रियाऋद्धिके धारक थे, तीन हजार तीन सौ मनःपर्ययज्ञानी थे, दो हजार पचास प्रसिद्ध एवं सर्वश्रेष्ठ वादी थे, इस तरह सब मिलाकर साठ हजार मुनिराज उनके साथ थे ।।४२-४८|| भाविताको आदि लेकर साठ हजार तीन सौ पचास आर्यिकाएँ थीं, तीनलाख श्राविकाएँ थीं, दो लाख श्रावक थे, असंख्यात देव-देवियाँ थीं और संख्यात तिर्यश्च थे। भगवान्, दिव्यध्वनिके द्वारा इन सबके लिए धर्मोपदेश देते हुए विहार करते थे। ४६-५०॥ इस प्रकार अनेक देशोंमें विहारकर जब उनकी आयु एक मासकी बाकी रह गई तब वे सम्मेदशिखरपर पहुंचे। वहाँ एक हजार मुनियों के साथ उन्होंने प्रतिमा योग धारण कर लिया
और वैशाख शुक्ल प्रतिपदाके दिन रात्रिके पूर्वभागमें कृत्तिका नक्षत्रका उदय रहते हुए समस्त कर्मोको उखाड़कर परमपद प्राप्त कर लिया। अब वे निरञ्जन-कर्मकलङ्कसे रहित हो गये। देवोंने उनके निर्वाण-कल्याणक की पूजा की । उनका वह परमपद अत्यन्त शुद्ध ज्ञान और वैराग्यसे परिपूर्ण तथा अविनाशी था ॥ ५१-५३ ॥
जो पहले भवमें राजा सिंहस्थ थे, फिर विशाल तपश्चरणकर सर्वार्थसिद्धिके स्वामी हुए, फिर तीर्थंकर और चक्रवर्ती इसप्रकार दो पदोंको प्राप्त हुए, जो छह प्रकारकी सेनाओंके स्वामी थे, तीनों लोकोंके मुख्य पुरुष जिनकी पूजा करते थे, जिन्हें सम्यक्त्व आदि आठ गुण प्राप्त हुए थे, जो तीन लोकके शिखरपर चूड़ामणिके समान देदीप्यमान थे और जिनकी महिमा बाधासे रहित थी ऐसे

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.

They prayed and performed the fourth auspicious puja.
