## Eighth Dasha
He is indeed a **Jina**. But if the comparison is made with the sun (Arka), then it can also be an epithet of the **Jina**. The suffix 'matup' does not occur from this.
Some people consider six **Kalyanak** of **Sri Bhagwan Mahavir Swami**. They say that the **garbha sanharan** of the **Jina** also happened in the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Therefore, this is also a **Kalyanak**. But their statement is not logical, because if this is accepted, then **Sri Rishabhdev Bhagwan** will also have six **Kalyanak**, as is evident from the sutra "Panch Uttara Sadhe Abhi I Chhate Hottha". Just as the coronation was accepted due to the similarity of the Nakshatra, in the same way, the **garbha sanharan** has also been accepted here due to the similarity of the Nakshatra. Therefore, just as **Sri Rishabhdev Bhagwan** does not have six **Kalyanak**, in the same way, **Sri Shraman Bhagwan Mahavir Swami** cannot have six **Kalyanak**. Secondly, what is seen in the world with wonder due to the influence of low-caste karma, how can it be considered as **Kalyanak**? And what the scholars consider as wonder, if the people also see it with wonder, then what is the wonder in it? Therefore, it is not right to be too enthusiastic about this statement. Therefore, it is proved that it is logical to consider only five **Kalyanak** of **Sri Bhagwan**. For example:
(1) Entering the womb on Ashadh Shukla Shashthi
(2) Birth on Chaitra Shukla Trayodashi
(3) Acceptance of **Pravrajya**
(4) **Keval Jnana** on Margashirsha Krishna Dashami
(5) **Moksha** on Kartiki Amavasya
In this sutra, the sutra-karta has briefly described the entire life journey of **Sri Bhagwan Mahavir Swami**. For example:
(1) From entering the womb, one should know about all the **garbha dhan** and other rituals.
(2) From birth, one should know the entire subject of the glory of birth.
(3) From **diksha**, one should know the entire life story till **diksha**.
(4) From **Keval Jnana**, one should know about the attainment of **Keval Jnana** after all the virtuous conduct and the proper **vihar charya** of **Sri Bhagwan**.
(5) From **nirvana**, one should know the entire conduct from **Keval Jnana** to the attainment of **nirvana pad**.
The meaning is that the entire life story of **Sri Shraman Bhagwan Mahavir Swami** has been described in the form of a sutra in these five **Kalyanak**.
