The **Sapta-Rishi** (Seven Sages) had performed austerities for a long time. At the end of his life, he attained **Samadhi-Maraṇa** (death in meditation), becoming the **Prāṇa-Tej** (Lord of Life), the **Vibhu** (All-pervading), who would later become the **Pañca-Kalyāṇa** (Five Auspicious Events). || 15 ||
His lifespan was equivalent to twenty oceans, he had **Śukla-Leśyā** (white aura), his body was three and a half cubits tall, he breathed once every ten months, took food once every twenty thousand years, had minimal mental activity, and was endowed with eight **Riddhis** (supernatural powers). || 16-17 ||
His **Ava-dhi-jñāna** (knowledge of the limits of space) extended to the fifth earth, and his radiance and power extended as far. He enjoyed happiness there for a long time. When six months of his lifespan remained, and he was about to descend to earth, the gods showered his birthplace with jewels. || 18-19 ||
In the **Bharata-Kṣetra** (land of India), in the **Magadha** country, there was a city called **Rājagṛha**. There, **Su-mitra**, the **Hari-vaṁśa** (descendant of Hari) jewel, ruled as king. || 20 ||
He belonged to the **Kāśyapa** gotra (lineage), and his queen was named **Somā**. The gods worshipped her. On the second day of the dark fortnight of **Śrāvaṇa** (August-September), in the **Śravaṇa** constellation, when the aforementioned **Prāṇa-Tej** was about to descend from heaven, Queen Somā saw sixteen dreams that indicated auspicious events. After that, she saw a powerful elephant entering her mouth. Filled with joy, she woke up, donned pure garments, and went to the king. || 21-23 ||
With a desire to hear the meaning of the dreams, she told the king about them. The king, knowing the limits of time, said that the **Tri-jagat-pate** (Lord of the Three Worlds), the **Jina-endra** (Victorious Lord), would be born to her. || 24 ||
Hearing the king's words, the queen's heart and face blossomed. At that moment, the gods came and performed her **Abhiṣeka-utsava** (coronation ceremony). || 25 ||
She enjoyed her time with heavenly pleasures provided by the gods. In the ninth month, she gave birth to a noble child. || 26 ||
This birth occurred after **Dhauvana** (a period of time) of one lakh years after the **Śrī-Mallinātha** Tīrthaṁkara (ford-maker). This lifespan was included in that period. || 27 ||
At the time of the birth, the **Indra** (king of the gods), who had come and whose radiance filled all directions, went to **Meru** mountain to meet **Muni-Su-vrata** (the sage of good vows). || 28 ||
