## The 27th Chapter
The Vishvakarmas, freed from their impurities, will undoubtedly attain liberation. The five Pandavas, devoted to the welfare of Nemiswami, are all righteous. || 266 ||
Having enjoyed their devotional practices, they all reached the mountain, Shrutajaya, and settled there, engaged in the Attapana Yoga. || 267 ||
Seeing them, the cruel Kuryavara, the nephew of the Kaurava king, remembering the murder of his uncle, was filled with rage. || 268 ||
He placed on their bodies the heated iron crowns and other ornaments, which were the marks of their sins. || 269 ||
The sons of Kunti, taking refuge in the Kshatriya order, burned their karmic fuel with the fire of pure meditation and attained liberation. || 270 ||
Nakula and Sahadeva ascended the Sarvarthasiddhi Vimana. The Bhattaraka also reached the mountain, Shrutajaya. || 271 ||
They spent six hundred ninety-nine years, nine months, and four days in their wanderings. Then, abandoning their wanderings, they practiced Yoga Nirodha for one month with five hundred thirty-three monks. On the seventh day of the bright fortnight of Ashadha, in the Chitra constellation, at the beginning of the night, they destroyed their four destructive karmas and attained liberation. || 272-274 ||
At that time, Indra and the other gods, having reached the fifth auspicious event, celebrated it with due devotion and then returned to their respective abodes. || 275 ||
The garland-wearer, Indra, descended from the sky with his celestial entourage, their vehicles far away. They quickly bowed their heads, their mouths filled with praises, their hands clasped in reverence, their minds fixed on him, their hearts free from darkness. They bowed to his feet, the glorious Nemiswami, who destroys the darkness of ignorance and brings about the knowledge of the ultimate reality. || 276 ||
**Shārdūlavikrīḍita**
In the fourth Kalpa, the fearless king, Achyutendra, was born from the previous Tirthankara. From him was born the righteous king, Jayanta, the glorious moon of the Harikula lineage, the Jina. || 277 ||
They will attain liberation. The five Pandavas, who have received many excellent and supreme riches and are filled with great devotion, wandered with Neminatha Bhagavan for many years. Finally, they reached the Shrutajaya mountain and settled there, engaged in the Attapana Yoga. By divine chance, the nephew of Duryodhana, Kuryavara, arrived there. He was extremely wicked. Seeing the Pandavas, he remembered the murder of his uncle, and filled with rage, he placed heated iron crowns and other ornaments on their bodies, which were the marks of their sins. Of the five brothers, the sons of Kunti, Yudhishthira, Bhima, and Arjuna, ascended the Kshatriya order and burned their karmic fuel with the fire of pure meditation, attaining liberation. Nakula and Sahadeva were born in the Sarvarthasiddhi Vimana. Meanwhile, Bhattaraka Neminatha Swami also reached the Girnar mountain and settled there. || 260-271 ||
They spent six hundred ninety-nine years, nine months, and four days in their wanderings. Then, abandoning their wanderings, they practiced Yoga Nirodha for one month with five hundred thirty-three monks. On the seventh day of the bright fortnight of Ashadha, in the Chitra constellation, at the beginning of the night, they destroyed their four destructive karmas and attained liberation. || 272-274 ||
At that time, Indra and the other gods, having reached the fifth auspicious event, celebrated it with due devotion and then returned to their respective abodes. || 275 ||

Those who descended from the sky from afar in their own chariots, who quickly bowed their heads, whose mouths were filled with praises, who clasped their hands in reverence, and whose minds were completely steady, Indra and the other great gods, who bow to his feet, who have destroyed all the darkness of the heart with their brilliance, such glorious Neminatha Bhagavan, may he quickly bring about our welfare for the attainment of omniscience. || 276 ||
Shri Nemiswami.
