The explanation of the term "Antakrid Dasha" is as follows: "Smritam purvakale jnatam sat kathavavasaare smritam bhavishyati". This explanation implies that Somil Brahmana thought that Bhagavan Arishta Nemiji must have witnessed the death of Gaja Sukumal with his own knowledge at the time of the incident, and he must have remembered it upon the arrival of Shri Krishna. Another interpretation, taking the meaning of "Shruta", would be: "Shrutam etad arhata kasmadapi devaviseshadva bhagavata shrutam bhavishyati". This means that Somil Brahmana thought that Shri Krishna Vasudeva must have heard the account of the death of Muni Gaja Sukumal from Bhagavan or some special deity. The meaning of the word "Shishta" is "said". This implies that Bhagavan Arishta Nemiji must have told Vasudeva Krishna about the death of Gaja Sukumal. The plight of Somil's corpse
- 29-Therefore, when Somil Brahmana saw Krishna Vasudeva suddenly, he was terrified and stood there petrified. While standing there, his lifespan ended due to a change in his state, and he fell to the ground with his body completely limp. At that time, Krishna Vasudeva saw Somil Brahmana falling and said:
"Oh Devanupriya! This is the same Somil Brahmana who desired death and was devoid of shame and dignity, who made my younger brother Gaja Sukumal Muni a victim of time prematurely." Saying this, Krishna Vasudeva had the corpse of Somil Brahmana dragged away by the Chandals and thrown outside the city. He also had the ground where the corpse had touched washed with water. After washing the ground with water, Krishna Vasudeva went to his royal palace and entered his chambers. Deposition
30-Thus, Jambhu! This is the meaning of the eighth study of the third section of the Antakrid Dasha Anga Sutra, as expounded by the liberated Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira.
Shri Sudharma Swami addresses his disciple Jambhu, saying: "Oh Jambhu! This is the meaning of the eighth study of the third section of the Antakrid Dasha Anga Sutra, as expounded by the liberated Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira."
