The 56th Chapter
221
The gods mentioned earlier are specified as three lakhs in number. The number of Tiryanchas is also mentioned as twelve ganas. || 44 ||
For the purpose of teaching Dharma, the wise one (Arhat) wandered through many countries. When only one month of his life remained, he ascended the peak of Sammed Shikhar with a thousand monks and took the image vow. On the night of the new moon of Chaitra, in the constellation of Revati, he attained liberation in the early part of the night. || 45-46 ||
At that time, the Indra came and performed the Nirvana Kalyanak puja. They praised him with hundreds of hymns with devotion and then all of them went to their respective places. || 47 ||
**Shardaulvikridit**
He who abandoned his Sudarshan Chakra, like a potter's wheel, to make the earth a wheel, and abandoned his kingdom, like a water carrier, to attain the supreme Dharma Chakra.
May the Arhat, who destroys the enemy of sin, protect you all, who are overwhelmed by the burden of devotion, and who are afraid of the world, forever. || 48 ||
**Vasantatilaka Vritta**
He who attained purity by destroying the eighteen defects, along with their causes, caused by hunger, thirst, fear, and other great karmas, who was the one Guru of the three worlds, and who was the most excellent, may the eighteenth Tirthankara, Arhat, grant you liberation soon. || 49 ||
**Shardaulvikridit**
He who was first a great king named Dhanapati, then a master of vows, a monk, then the lord of the happy Ahamindra, who adorned the front part of heaven, then the lord of the six continents, the ruler of fourteen jewels and nine treasures, a Chakravarti, and finally the lord of the three worlds, the Arhat, may he, the most excellent eighteenth Tirthankara, purify you all who are his devotees, for a long time. || 50 ||
Then, in the same Tirtha of Arhat Bhagwan, there was a Chakravarti named Subhauma. He was the king of the earth in his third birth. || 51 ||
