करनेमें चतुर, अनेक विद्याओं और कलाओं में निपुण अन्य अनेक मनुष्योंको, ऐसे ही गुणोंसे सहित अनेक स्त्रियोंको तथा गन्धर्वोंकी श्रेष्ठ सेनाको बुलाकर अनेक प्रकारके विनोदोंसे भगवान्‌को सुख पहुँचाता था ।। २७-२६ ॥ इसी प्रकार चक्षु और कर्णके सिवाय शेष तीन इंद्रियोंके उत्कृष्ट विषयोंसे भी इन्द्र, भगवान्को निरन्तर सुखी रखता था । यथार्थमें संसार में सुख वही था जिसका कि भगवान् सुपार्श्वनाथ उपभोग करते थे ।। ३० ।। प्रशस्त नामकर्मके उदयसे उनके निःस्वेदत्व आदि आठ अतिशय प्रकट हुए थे, वे सर्वप्रिय तथा सर्वहितकारी वचन बोलते थे, उनका व्यापाररहित अतुल्यबल था, वे सदा प्रसन्न रहते थे, उनकी आयु अनपवर्त्य थी- असमय में कटनेवाली नहीं थी, गुण, पुण्य और सुख रूप थे, उनका शरीर कल्याणकारी था, वे मति, श्रुत और अवधि इन तीन ज्ञानों सहित थे, प्रियङ्गुके पुष्पके समान उनकी कान्ति थी, उनके अशुभ कर्मका अनुभाग अत्यन्त मन्द था, शुभ कर्मका अनुभाग अत्यन्त उत्कृष्ट था, उनका कण्ठ मानो मोक्ष-स्वर्ग तथा मानवोचित ऐश्वर्यकी कण्ठीसे ही सुशोभित था । उनके चरणोंके नखे में समस्त इन्द्रीके मुखकमल प्रतिविम्बित हो रहे थे, इस प्रकार लक्ष्मीको धारण करनेवाले प्रकृष्टज्ञानी भगवान् सुपार्श्वनाथ अगाध संतोषसागरमें वृद्धिको प्राप्त हो रहे थे ।। ३१-३४ || जिनके प्रत्याख्यानावरण और संज्वलन सम्बन्धी क्रोध, मान, माया, लोभ इन आठ कषायोंका ही केवल उदय रह जाता है ऐसे सभी तीर्थंकरोंके अपनी के प्रारम्भिक आठ वर्षके बाद देश-संयम हो जाता है ।। ३५ ।। इसलिए यद्यपि उनके भोगोपभोगकी वस्तुओंकी प्रचुरता थी तो भी वे अपनी आत्मा को अपने वश रखते थे, उनकी वृत्ति नियमित थी तथा असंख्यातगुणी निर्जराका कारण थी ।। ३६ ।।

जब उनकी आयु बीस पूर्वाङ्ग कम एक लाख पूर्वकी रह गई तब किसी समय ऋतुका परिवर्तन देखकर वे 'समस्त पदार्थ नश्वर हैं' ऐसा चिन्तवन करने लगे ॥ ३७ ॥ उनके निर्मल सम्यग्ज्ञान रूपी दर्पणमें काललब्धिके कारण समस्त राज्य-लक्ष्मी छायाकी क्रीडाके समान नश्वर जान पड़ने लगी ॥ ३८ ॥ मैं नहीं जान सका कि यह राज्यलक्ष्मी इसी प्रकार शीघ्र ही नष्ट हो जानेवाली तथा मायासे भरी हुई है। मुझे धिक्कार हो, धिक्कार हो । सचमुच ही जिनके चित्त भोगोंके रागसे अन्धे हो रहे हैं ऐसे कौन मनुष्य हैं जो मोहित न होते हों ॥ ३६ ॥ इस प्रकार भगवान् के मनरूपी सागर में चन्द्रमाके समान उत्कृष्ट आत्मज्ञान उत्पन्न हुआ और उसी समय लौकान्तिक देवोंने आकर समयानुकूल पदार्थोंसे भगवान्‌की स्तुति की ।। ४० ।। तदनन्तर भगवान् सुपार्श्वनाथ, देवोंके द्वारा उठाई हुई मनोगति नामकी पालकी पर आरूढ़ होकर सहेतुक वनमें गये और वहाँ ज्येष्ठशुक्ल द्वादशी

**Verse 29:** The supreme lord of the Gandharvas, adorned with the qualities of Tara, brought with him the best of the Gandharva army and made the Lord happy with various forms of entertainment.

**Verse 30:** The Lord of the Gods continuously provided the Lord with the best objects of the remaining three senses (touch, smell, and taste), apart from sight and hearing. True happiness in the world is that which the Lord Supārśvanāth experienced.

**Verse 31:** Due to the rise of auspicious karmas, eight extraordinary qualities manifested in him: freedom from perspiration, etc. He spoke words that were pleasing and beneficial to all, he possessed unparalleled strength without any worldly engagements, he was always joyful, his lifespan was imperishable (not subject to untimely death), he was the embodiment of virtues, merits, and happiness, his body was a source of welfare, he possessed the three knowledges (mati, śruta, and avadhi), his complexion was like the flower of the priyangu, his negative karma was extremely weak, his positive karma was extremely strong, and his neck was adorned as if with a garland of liberation, heaven, and worldly prosperity.

**Verse 32:** The lotus faces of all the gods were reflected in the nails of his feet. Thus, the Lord Supārśvanāth, the holder of Lakshmi, the supremely knowledgeable one, was growing in the ocean of profound contentment.

**Verse 33:** All the Tirthankaras, whose only remaining passions are anger, pride, deceit, and greed, related to the covering of the soul and the burning of the soul, attain the state of "desh-samyam" (control over the senses) after their initial eight years.

**Verse 34:** Therefore, even though he had an abundance of objects for enjoyment, he controlled his mind, his conduct was regulated, and it was the cause of countless virtues.

**Verse 35:** When his lifespan was reduced to one lakh minus twenty "pūrva-angas" (a unit of time), he saw the change of seasons and thought, "All things are impermanent."

**Verse 36:** Due to the attainment of time, in his pure mirror of right knowledge, all the glory of his kingdom appeared like a play of shadows.

**Verse 37:** I did not know that this kingdom was so quickly perishable and full of illusion. Shame on me, shame on me! Indeed, who are those people whose minds are blinded by the attachment to pleasures and do not get deluded?

**Verse 38:** Thus, in the ocean of the Lord's mind, supreme self-knowledge arose like the moon. At that time, the celestial beings came and praised the Lord with appropriate words.

**Verse 39:** Then, the Lord Supārśvanāth, mounted on a palanquin called "Manogati" (mind's journey), carried by the gods, went to the "Sahetuka" forest and there, on the sixth day of the bright fortnight of Jyeshtha, he observed a fast.
