The Uttarapurana of the Mahapuraana states that Pushpadanta was accompanied by eighty thousand Aryikas, two hundred thousand Shravakas, and five hundred thousand Shravikas. He was also attended by countless gods and a countable number of Tiryanchas. Thus, he was revered by twelve assemblies. After traveling through the Aryadeshas, Pushpadanta reached Sammed Shikhar and attained liberation on the eighth day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada, in the Mula Nakshatra, at dusk, along with a thousand monks. The gods arrived and performed his Nirvana-Kalyanak, then ascended to heaven.
We bow to Pushpadanta, who has made the difficult path of liberation easy and pure for others, who has shown the best way to attain heaven and liberation for devotees who have cultivated calmness in their minds, who is the lord of liberation-wealth, whose teeth are like blooming flowers, who is self-luminous, and whose face is adorned by the brilliance of his teeth.
O God! Your body is peaceful, your words are captivating, your character is beneficial to all, and you are like a dense, shady tree in the midst of the vast desert of the world. Therefore, we all take refuge in you.
May Suvidhinatha, or Pushpadanta, who was first a king named Mahapadma, then the Indra of the fourteenth Kalpa in heaven, and later the ninth Tirthankara, King Suvidhi in the Bharat Kshetra, bestow prosperity upon us all.
Thus ends the fifty-fifth chapter of the Trishattilakshana Mahapuraana, compiled by Bhagavad Gunabhadracharya, known as the Pushpadanta Purana.
