Thus, in this Jambudvipa, in this Bharatavarsha, in this Avasarpini Kal, there have been nine Dasaramandala (communities of Baldeva and Vasudeva). The Sutrakar describes them:
All these Baldeva and Vasudeva were great men born into noble families. They were middle men because they were intermediaries between the Tirthankaras and the other Shala-purushas. Or, they were middle men because they were stronger than ordinary people but weaker than the Tirthankaras. They were the leading men of their time because they possessed the most prominent qualities of courage, etc. They were powerful because they were endowed with mental strength. They were radiant because they possessed luminous bodies. They were dominant because they were endowed with physical strength. They were famous because they achieved fame through their valor. They were shadowy because they possessed a shadow (aura) around their bodies. They were radiant because they possessed a radiant glow. They were gentle because they possessed a moon-like countenance. They were fortunate because they were beloved by all. They were pleasing to the eyes because they were very pleasing to look at. They were handsome because they possessed a square body. They were virtuous because they possessed a good character. They were easily accessible because everyone could easily meet them. They were beloved by all because they were pleasing to the eyes of all. They were powerful because they were strong, tireless, and possessed an uninterrupted flow of strength. They were very powerful because they surpassed the strength of all the men of their time. They were supremely powerful because they possessed great and excellent strength. They were unharmed because they possessed an uninterrupted lifespan, or because no one could defeat them in a wrestling match. They were unconquerable because no one could defeat them in battle. They were crushers of enemies because they crushed their enemies in great battles. They were destroyers of thousands of enemies because they destroyed the pride of thousands of enemies. They were benevolent to those who obeyed or served them, but they were cruel to those who betrayed them. They were free from envy because they were grateful for even the smallest of qualities in others. They were steadfast because they possessed a stable mind, speech, and body. They were unwavering because they were free from fickleness. They were fierce without any reason.
