ही मानो विधाताने उनकी दश अंगुलियाँ बनाई थीं ॥५०॥ उनके चरणोंके नख ऐसी शङ्का उत्पन्न करते थे कि मानो उनसे श्रेष्ठ कान्ति प्राप्त करने के लिए ही चन्द्रमा दश रूप बनाकर उनके चरणोंकी सेवा करता था ॥५१॥ इस प्रकार लक्षणों तथा व्यञ्जनोंसे सुशोभित उनके सर्व शरीरकी शोभा मुक्तिरूपी स्त्रीको स्वीकृत करेगी इसमें कुछ भी संशय नहीं था॥५२॥ इस प्रकार भगवानकी कुमार अवस्था स्वभावसे ही सुन्दरता धारण कर रही थी, यद्यपि उस समय उन्हें यौवन नहीं प्राप्त हुआ था तो भी वे कामदेवके बिना ही अधिक सुन्दर थे ।। ५३ ।। तदनन्तर यौवन प्राप्त कर कामदेवने भी उनमें अपना स्थान बना लिया सो ठीक ही है क्योंकि ऐसे कौन सत्पुरुष हैं जो स्थान पाकर स्वयं नहीं ठहर जाते।। ५४ ।।
__इस प्रकार क्रम-क्रमसे जब उनके कुमार-कालके दश लाख पूर्व बीत चुके तब उन्हें स्वर्गलोकके साम्राज्यका तिरस्कार करनेवाला मनुष्योंका साम्राज्य प्राप्त हुआ ॥५५॥ शुक्ललेश्याको घारण करनेवाले भगवान् सुमतिनाथ न कभी हिंसा करते थे, न भूठ बोलते थे और न चोरी तथा परिग्रह
आनन्द उन्हें स्वप्नमें भी कभी प्राप्त होता था। भावार्थ-वे हिंसानन्द, मृषानन्द, स्तेयानन्द और परिग्रहानन्द इन चारों रौद्रध्यानसे रहित थे॥५६॥ उन्हें न कभी अनिष्ट-संयोग होता था, न कभी इष्ट-वियोग होता था, न कभी वेदनाजन्य दुःख होता था और न वे कभी निदान ही करते थे। इस प्रकार वे चारों आर्तध्यानसम्बन्धी संलशसे रहित थे॥५७ ॥ गुण, पुण्य और सुखोंको धारण करनेवाले भगवान् अनेक गुणोंकी वृद्धि करते थे, नवीन पुण्य कर्मका संचय करते थे और पुरातन समस्त पुण्य कर्मों के विपाकका अनुभव करते थे॥५५॥ अनुरागसे भरे हुए देव, विद्याधर और भूमिगोचरी मानव सदा उनकी सेवा किया करते थे, उन्होंने इस लोकसम्बन्धी समस्त प्रारम्भ दूर कर दिये थे, और वे सर्व सम्पदाओंसे परिपूर्ण थे॥५६॥ वे मनुष्य तथा देवोंमें होनेवाले काम-भोगोंमें, न्यायपूर्ण अर्थमें तथा हितकारी धर्ममें श्रेष्ठ सुखको प्राप्त हुए थे ।। ६०॥ वे दिव्य अङ्गराग, माला, वस्त्र और आभूषणोंसे सुशोभित, सुन्दर, समान अवस्थावाली तथा स्वेच्छासे प्राप्त हुई स्त्रियोंके साथ रमण करते थे ।। ६१ ।। समान प्रेमसे संतोषित दिव्य लक्ष्मी और मानुष्य लक्ष्मी दोनों ही उन्हें सुख पहुँचाती थीं सो ठीक ही है क्योंकि मध्यस्थ मनुष्य किसे प्यारा नहीं होता ? ।। ६२ ।। संसारमें सुख वही था जो इनके इन्द्रियगोचर था, क्योंकि स्वर्गमें भी जो सारभूत वस्तु थी उसे इन्द्र इन्हींके लिए सुरक्षित रखता था ॥ ६३ । इस प्रकार दिव्य लक्ष्मी और राज्य
