Mahapuraana, Uttara Puraana
He is always served by the three worlds, the revealer of the knowledge of the auspicious lotus. He has destroyed both kinds of darkness, the illuminator of the world and the non-world. || 53 ||
He, having made the moon below, wandered for the sake of the rain of Dharma. His actions, like the clouds, are beneficial to the happiness of the world. || 54 ||
Having reached Mount Sammed, he abandoned the practice of wandering and, along with a thousand munis, he took on the form of a statue. || 55 ||
On the sixth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Chaitra, when the sun was about to set, he attained the Lakshmi of liberation in his own birth star. || 56 ||
The gods, having worshipped him, the master of the fifth knowledge, who has attained the fifth path, in the fifth auspicious event, went to their respective places. || 57 ||

He, who has attained the vast and pure Lakshmi, who has seen the Lakshmi of love, who was the pure king Vimala Vaahana on this earth, who has defeated the sun with the brilliance of his body, who was the king Ahamindra, who has embraced the Lakshmi of auspiciousness, may Sambhava, the lord, bless you all. || 59 ||
Thus ends the 49th chapter of the Sambhava Tirthankara Puraana, in the collection of the Trishattilakshana Mahapuraana, composed by Bhagavadguna Bhadraacharya, known as Aarsha.
