पदार्थके सत्य होनेसे जिनके वचनोंकी सत्यता सिद्ध है और ऐसे सत्य वचन ही जिन यथार्थ वक्ताकी सत्यताको प्रकट करते हैं ऐसे अभिनन्दन स्वामी वन्दना करनेवाले लोगोंको आनन्दित करते हुए हम सबकी रक्षा करें ॥१॥ जम्बूद्वीपके पूर्व विदेह क्षेत्रमें सीता नदीके दक्षिण तट पर एक मङ्गलावली नामका देश सुशोभित है ।। २।। उसके रत्नसंचय नगरमें महाबल नामका राजा था । वह बहुत भारीराजसम्पत्तिसे सहित तथा चारों वर्गों और आश्रमोंका आश्रय था-रक्षा करनेवाला था॥३॥ उसके पृथिवीकी रक्षा करते समय अन्याय यह शब्द ही नहीं सुनाई पड़ता था और समस्त प्रजा किसी प्रतिबन्धके बिना ही अपने-अपने मार्गमें प्रवृत्ति करती थी॥४॥ शत्रुओंको नष्ट करनेवाले उस राजामें सन्धि-विग्रह आदि छह गुणोंका समूह भी निर्गुणताको प्राप्त हो गया था और इस तरह निर्गुण होनेपर भी वह राजा त्याग तथा सत्य आदि गुणोंसे गुणवान् था राजा लक्ष्मीका एक ही पति था। यद्यपि सरस्वती कीर्ति और वीरलक्ष्मी उसकी सौतें थीं तो भी राजा सब पर प्रसन्नचित्त रहता था। उसकी कीर्ति अन्य मनुष्योंके वचनों तथा कानोंमें रहती है, सरस्वती उसके वचनोंमें रहती है, वीरलक्ष्मी वक्षःस्थल पर रहती है और मैं सर्वाङ्गमें रहती हूं यह विचार कर ही लक्ष्मी अत्यन्त सन्तुष्ट रहती थी ।। ६-७ ।। स्त्रीरूपी कल्पलतासे रमणीय उसका शरीररूपी कल्पवृक्ष, वह जिस जिसकी इच्छा करता था वही वही सुख प्रदान करता था ॥॥ जिसके नेत्ररूपी भ्रमर सुन्दर स्त्रियोंके मुखरूपी कमलोंकी सेवा करनेमें सदा सतृष्ण रहते हैं ऐसे उस राजा महाबलने बहुत लम्बा समय सुखसे कालकी एक कलाके समान व्यतीत कर दिया ॥६॥ किसी समय इच्छानुसार मिलनेवाले भोगोपभोगोंमें अतृप्ति होनेसे उसे वैराग्य उत्पन्न हो गया जिससे उस उदारचेताने धनपाल नामक पुत्रके लिए राज्य देकर विमलवाहन गुरुके पास पहुँच संयम धारण कर लिया। वह ग्यारह अङ्ग का पाठी हुआ और सोलह कारण भावनाओंका उसने चिन्तवन किया ॥ १०-११॥ सोलह कारण भावनाओंका चिन्तवन करनेसे उससे पञ्चकल्याणकरूपी फलको देनेवाले तीर्थंकर नामकर्म-बन्ध किया जिससे यह तीर्थकर होगा। सो ठीक ही है क्योंकि मनस्वी मनुष्योंको क्या नहीं प्राप्त होता ? ।। १२ ।। आयुके अन्तमें समाधिमरण कर वह विजय नामके पहले

The fifty-first chapter: Truth in words, truth in the speaker, truth in the speaker's words. May this one, who is the object of veneration, who delights and is delighted, protect us all. || 1 || In the Jambudvipa, in the Videha region, in the south of the Sita river, there is a country called Mangalavati. || 2 || In its city of Ratna-sancaya, there was a king named Mahabala. He was endowed with great wealth and was the refuge of the four varnas and ashramas. || 3 || While he protected the earth, the word "injustice" was never heard, and all the people went about their business without any hindrance. || 4 || In that king, who destroyed his enemies, the six qualities of peace, war, etc., were also present, and even though he was devoid of qualities, he was still virtuous by virtue of his renunciation, truth, etc. || 5 || He was the sole husband of Lakshmi. Although Saraswati, Kirti, and Viralakshmi were his co-wives, he was happy with all of them. || 6 || His fame resides in the words and ears of others, Saraswati resides in his words, Viralakshmi resides in his chest, and I reside in all his limbs - thinking this, Lakshmi was very pleased. || 6-7 || His body, like a Kalpa-tree, was beautiful with a woman-like Kalpa-lata, and it granted whatever he desired. || 8 || His eyes, like bees, were always eager to serve the lotus-like faces of beautiful women. Thus, Mahabala, the king, spent a long time happily, like one of the kalas of time. || 9 || Once, due to dissatisfaction with the enjoyment of desires, he developed dispassion. With a generous heart, he gave the kingdom to his son, Dhanapala, and went to the guru, Vimala-vahana, to practice restraint. He became a follower of the eleven angas and contemplated the sixteen causes of emotions. || 10-11 || By contemplating the sixteen causes of emotions, he performed the karma-bandha of the Tirthankara, which gives the fruit of the five auspicious qualities. Thus, he will become a Tirthankara. It is right, for what is not attainable for those who are devoted to their minds? || 12 || At the end of his life, he died in samadhi and attained the state of Indra for thirty-three oceans of years, being the first in the line of conquerors. || 13 ||
