The forty-first chapter, the chapter of the silent vow. The pure-minded one, the Lord Sambhavanatha, remained in the state of *chhadmastha* for fourteen years. After that, he went to the *dikshavana* and attained the state of *kevala jnana* under the *shalmali* tree on the fourth day of the dark fortnight of Kartik, in the *mrigashira* constellation, in the evening. He destroyed the four types of *ghatiya karma* and attained the *ananta chatushtaya*.
He celebrated the *kaivlya* festival, the festival of knowledge and liberation, with the *kalpavasis* and the three types of gods, including the *jyautishkas*.
Just as Mount Meru is adorned by many other smaller mountains, so too was Lord Sambhavanatha adorned by one hundred and five *ganadharas*, including *Charushena*.
He was surrounded by two thousand one hundred and fifty *purvadharis*, and had one lakh nineteen thousand three hundred *shikshak*s.
He was accompanied by nine thousand six hundred *avadhi jnanis* and fifteen thousand *kevala jnanis*.
Nineteen thousand eight hundred *vikriya riddhi* holders were with him, and twelve thousand one hundred and fifty *manahparyaya jnanis* were in his assembly.
He was adorned by twelve thousand *vadis*, and thus he was adorned by two lakh *munis*.

Lord Sambhavanatha rejected the moon, because the moon travels in both the *sudi* and *vadi* fortnights, but the Lord travels only in the pure, faultless fortnight. The moon is devoid of wealth during the day, but the Lord is accompanied by the wealth of liberation. The moon is marked by blemishes, but the Lord is free from blemishes and sin. The moon is afraid of the attacks of *rah*u and *megh* and is afflicted by decay, but the Lord is fearless, free from fear, and free from disease. The moon has many enemies in the form of *rah*u*, *megh*, and other coverings, but the Lord has no enemies. The moon is the cause of the *kupaksha* or dark fortnight, but the Lord destroys the *kupaksha* or impure principles. The moon appears devoid of stars during the day, but the Lord is always accompanied by the *munis* who are like stars. The moon increases desire, but the Lord is the enemy of desire. The moon is devoid of brilliance, but the Lord is the holder of great brilliance. The moon does not remain circular except during the full moon, but the Lord...
