Mahapuraana, Uttara Puraana
In the ancient Puraana, the Puraana Purusha did something great. Just as the great poets are not distracted in the discussions of poetry by the poet Shinaana, so too, the great poet Jinaseenaacharya is victorious. || 39 ||
He is praised by the poets, revered by the pure monks, worshipped by the noble ones. He is full of all virtues, a lion to conquer the wicked elephants, knowledgeable in all the scriptures, and worshipped by all the kings. || 40 ||
O friend, if your mind is delighted to hear the collection of verses spoken by all the great poets, then bring your ears close to hear this Puraana spoken by the lotus-mouth of the great poet Jinaseenaacharya. || 41 ||
Gunabhadraacharya is also victorious, worshipped by all the yogis, the foremost among all the great poets, worthy of being worshipped by the Acharyas. He has conquered the pleasures of love, his banner of fame flies in all directions, he is like an axe to destroy the tree of sin, and he is worshipped by all the kings. || 42 ||
Is there any dharma here? It is not appropriate to say that this is a great Puraana. It is a vast ocean of stories, a collection of narratives about men, and a collection of characters. || 38 ||
Who does not steal the hearts of all? That is, they steal the hearts of all. || 38 ||
The ancient Puraana Purusha, Bhagavan Aadinatha, has done something wonderful in this Puraana. In his presence, the poets are never without heart in the discussions of poetry. || 36 ||
May Jinaseenaacharya be victorious, who is praised by the poets, whose group of pure monks praise him, whose group of noble beings praise him, who is full of all virtues, who is like a lion to conquer the wicked elephants, who knows all the scriptures, and who is worshipped by all the kings. || 40 ||
O friend, if your mind is delighted to hear the collection of verses spoken by all the great poets, then bring your ears close to hear this Puraana spoken by the lotus-mouth of the great poet Jinaseenaacharya. || 41 ||
Gunabhadraacharya is also victorious, worshipped by all the yogis, the foremost among all the great poets, worthy of being worshipped by the Acharyas. He has conquered the pleasures of love, his banner of fame flies in all directions, he is like an axe to destroy the tree of sin, and he is worshipped by all the kings. || 42 ||
This great Puraana is not just a Puraana, it is a wonderful dharma shastra, its stories are worth listening to, it is a vast ocean of stories, a collection of narratives about men, and a collection of characters. || 38 ||
Who does not steal the hearts of all? That is, they steal the hearts of all. || 38 ||
The ancient Puraana Purusha, Bhagavan Aadinatha, has done something wonderful in this Puraana. In his presence, the poets are never without heart in the discussions of poetry. || 36 ||
1. The great poet Jinaseenaacharya, the great one, is the one who speaks the sweet, jewel-like words of the Puraana. And then, the words of Gunabhadraacharya are diverse, and all the great poets, like the wind-lions, are victorious. || M, K, G, Gh ||
2. The hundred worlds are not in the K, G, Gh, M books. ||
