The Uttarapurana, a part of the Mahapuraana, explained the true nature of the soul through logic. It stated that the soul is a substance and its existence is due to time and other factors. || 366 || Having understood this, I, a devotee of the Lord, became certain about the nature of the soul. I was honored by Sudharma and, along with five hundred Brahmana sons, I bowed down to Shri Vardhamana. || 367 || At that very moment, due to the special purification of my soul, I attained seven Siddhis. || 368 || Through the teachings of Bhattaraka, on the first day of the month of Shravana, I clearly understood the meaning and the words of all the Angas. || 369 || Similarly, on the same day, in the afternoon, I understood the meaning and the words of all the Purvas in sequence. || 370 || Thus, I, who possessed knowledge of all the Angas and Purvas and was endowed with four knowledges, composed the Angas during the first part of the night and the Purvas during the latter part. || 371 || From that time, I became the author of the scriptures. || 372 || Filled with the knowledge of the scriptures, I became the first Ganadhara of Lord Mahavira. || 373 || After me, there were other Ganadharas: Vayubhuti, Agnibhuti, Sudharma, Maury, Maundraya, Putra, Maitreya, Akampana, Andhavela, and Prabhasa. || 374 || Thus, including me, there were eleven Ganadharas who were worshipped by the Indras of Lord Vardhamana. || 375 || Besides these, there were three hundred and eleven Anga-holders and fourteen Purva-holders, nine thousand nine hundred teachers who practiced true restraint, one thousand three hundred Avadhijnani, seven hundred Kevalajnani Paramesthis, nine hundred holders of Vikriya Siddhi, five hundred worshipful Manahparyaya Jnani, and four hundred Anuttaravadi. || 376 || Thus, the total number of Muni-shwaras was fourteen thousand. || 377 || There were thirty-six thousand Aryikas, starting with Chandana, one lakh Shravakas, three lakh Shravikas, countless Devas and Devis, and a countable number of Tiryanchas. || 378 || Thus, surrounded by the twelve Ganadharas mentioned above, the Lord, seated on his throne, explained the six substances, seven principles, the world, and liberation in the Ardhamagadhi language. || 379 || || 380 || || 381 ||
