[Third Chapter]
[37] The prophecy was proven false, because other mothers in the Bharat Kshetra have also given birth to such sons. Knowing this, you went out to ask about this matter and came to me quickly.
Devaki Devi! Is this true? Devaki said - 'Yes Lord, it is true.'
Discussion - When Devaki Devi saw the disciples of Lord Arishtanemi coming to her house for the third time, a resolve arose in her heart. To ascertain the subject of this resolve, she went to the feet of Lord Arishtanemi. The Lord described her heart's resolve in clear words. All these things have been shown in the present sutra.
"Ajzhathie Samuppanne" .......... means - Ajzhathie means spiritual - internal. Kappie - imagined, meaning various kinds of imaginations arising in the heart. Chintiye - contemplated, meaning thought repeatedly. Patthie - prayed, meaning "What is the root cause of this situation?" This curiosity happening again and again. Manogae - mental, meaning the thoughts that are in the mind are not yet revealed. Sankalp - resolve, meaning general thought.
- 'Aimumutteṇ Kumārasamaṇeṇam' means - Ati Mukta named Kumar Shraman. Ati Mukta Kumar Shraman (Shraman with a delicate body, or Shraman in the state of youth) was the younger brother of Kansa. When Kansa's wife Jiwayasha was playing with Devaki, Ati Mukta Kumar went to Jiwayasha's house for alms. Jiwayasha, engrossed in amusement and pleasure, began to mock her brother-in-law, seeing him as a muni. She said, "Brother-in-law! Come, you also play with me, participate in this amusement and pleasure." On this, Muni Ati Mukta Kumar said to Jiwayasha - 'Jiwayashe! From the womb of this Devaki, with whom you are playing at this time, eight sons will be born. These sons will be so beautiful and virtuous that no other woman in Bharatvarsha will have such sons. But the seventh son of this Devaki will kill your husband and rule over half of Bharatvarsha.' Devaki Devi had heard this in her childhood. Therefore, to resolve this, she decided to go to Lord Arishtanemi.
The necessary rules to be followed when going to the Arihant Paramatma or Sadhu-Sadhvis are called 'Abhigam'.
In the present sutra, the sutrakar has depicted the heart's resolve and doubts of Devaki Devi. Devaki Devi went to the feet of Arishtanemi Bhagwan to express her heart's feelings and was present there. Thereafter, the sutrakar says, describing what Arishtanemi Bhagwan said to pacify Devaki Devi's mind in the next sutra.
