[Third Class]
[27] A great deal of gold, silver, bronze, cloth, and abundant wealth, including gold, was given, which was sufficient for seven generations to give and enjoy willingly. Similarly, Aniyaskumar also gave each woman one koti of gold, one koti of silver, etc., all the aforementioned things, as well as one grinding maid and a lot of gold, silver, etc., divided among them. Aniyaskumar began to live in high palaces, enjoying abundant pleasures with the sound of drums.
At that time, Lord Arishtanemi Swami arrived in the garden called Srivan. He requested the proper reception, and began to wander, inspiring his soul with restraint and penance. The people reached the garden to hear his Dharmadesha, and after hearing the Dharmadesha, they returned to their homes.
Hearing the noise of the crowd, Aniyaskumar also resolved to go near the Lord. He reached the service of the Lord. He also heard the Lord's discourse. The effect of the discourse produced detachment in his heart. Finally, like Gautamkumar, he was initiated into the Lord's feet. After taking initiation, he studied the Samayik to the fourteen Purvas. He followed the initiation for twenty years. At the end, he performed a one-month Sanlekhana and attained Siddha-Gati on Shatrujaya mountain.
_ Sudharma Swami said, "O Jambu! In this way, Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira Swami had explained the meaning of the first study of the third class of the eighth anga Antagad."
2-6 One should also know the description of the studies from Anantasen to Shatrusen. All of them were married to thirty-two excellent daughters, and all of them were given thirty-two of the aforementioned things. They followed restraint for twenty years and studied the fourteen Purvas. Finally, they attained the five Siddha-Gatis on Shatrujaya mountain by performing a one-month Sanlekhana.
Discussion - This sutra describes the remaining life of Aniyaskumar and the five Shreshthi-sons, Anantasen, etc.
'Peeidaan' means 'pritidan', which is given due to joy. Here, the meaning of 'dan' is 'paritoshik-premopahar'. Generally, 'pritidan' is especially famous in the sense of dowry. Currently, the money and respect given by the girl's side to the boy's side on the occasion of marriage is called dowry, but this sutra reveals that this dowry was given by the father of the groom to the groom on the occasion of marriage. Which was distributed by the groom among the married girls.
'Navaram samaaiyamaaiyaaiin chaudas puvvaai' - The word 'Navaram' read in this sentence is an indeclinable word that reveals the difference in the study of Gautamkumar and Aniyaskumar. The meaning of the word 'Navaram' is "so special or so different." The difference in the study of Aniyaskumar and Gautamkumar has been expressed by the sutrakar through the words Samaaiya....... Puvvaai. The meaning is that Gautamkumar had only studied eleven angas, but Aniyaskumar had studied eleven angas as well as fourteen Purvas.
14 Purvas - When establishing the Tirtha, the Tirthankara Bhagwan first explained the meaning to the Ganadharas.
