[25 done. [In the assembly present to listen to the Dharmadeshana of Bhagwan Mahavira, there were Rishis, Drashta, extremely knowledgeable Sadhus, Muni Mauni or Vaksyami Sadhu Yati, Shramanas who were very diligent in their conduct, Devaganas and groups of hundreds and hundreds of listeners.]
Ogh Bali [Holder of uninterrupted or uniform strength, Atibali-extremely powerful, Mahabali, endowed with abundant strength, unlimited infinite strength born of self-power, brilliance, importance and radiance, with a sweet, deep voice like the roar of new clouds in autumn, the cry of the Kronch bird and the sound of the drum, Bhagwan Mahavira, with the letters spread out in the heart, residing in the throat and pervading the head, with separate pronunciations of each letter in its own place, without indistinct pronunciation or stammering, with a well-defined sequence of letters, a combination of letters, with completeness and sweetness of voice, in a voice that reached a yojana, in the Ardhamagadi language, narrated the Dharma. He narrated the Dharma to all the present Aryas and non-Aryas with an eager mind without getting tired. The Ardhamagadi language uttered by Bhagwan was transformed into the languages of all those Aryas and non-Aryas.
The Dharmadeshana given by Bhagwan is as follows:
The existence of the world, the existence of the non-world. Similarly, Jiva, Ajeeva, Bandha, Moksha, Puny, Pap, Asrava, Sanvara, Vedana, Nirjara, Arhat, Chakravarti Baldev, Vasudev, Narak, Nairyaik, Tiryanchyooni, Tiryanchyoonik Jiva, Mata, Pita, Rishi, Dev Devalok, Siddhi, Siddha, Parinirvana, the state of spiritual well-being due to the weakening of karma-born coverings, supreme peace, the state of Parinivritta Parinirvana, the existence of such a person. Pranatipat, violence, Mrishvad, falsehood, Adattadan, theft, Maithun, and Parigraha.
Krodha, Mana, Maya, Lobha, [Love, an unexpressed Maya and Lobha-born pleasant or interesting feeling, Dvesha, an unexpressed Mana and Krodha-born unpleasant or unpleasant feeling, Kalha, fighting-quarrelling, Abhyakhyan, false accusation, Paishunya, gossip or revealing the faults of someone behind their back, Parparivad, slander, Rati, enjoying pleasure in the absence of restraint as a result of the rise of Mohaniya Karma, Ruchi, showing interest, Arati, disinterest in restraint as a result of the rise of Mohaniya Karma, Mayamrishna, lying deceitfully or deceptively,] all these are Mithyadarshan Shalya.
Pranatipat-viraman, refraining from violence, Mrishvad-viraman, refraining from falsehood, Adattadan-viraman, refraining from theft, Maithun-viraman, refraining from Maithun, Parigraha-viraman, refraining from Parigraha, all these are Mithyadarshan Shalya Vivek, the true knowledge of the thorn of false belief and its abandonment.
All Astibhav, in relation to their own Dravya, Kshetra, Kala and Bhava, are in the form of existence, and all Nastibhav, in relation to Dravya, Kshetra, Kala, Bhava, are in the form of non-existence.
