[Third Section]
[39 This is described in the present sutra. The word 'Nemittiena' means Naimittika. An astrologer who predicts the future is called Naimittika.
The word 'Nindu' means dead-born. A woman whose children are born dead is called Nindu. There are two types of dead children - one is born dead in the womb, the other dies after birth. In the present case, the first meaning of Nindu seems to be the desired one.
In the Kalpasutra (in the section on the change of womb in the Pradeepika commentary), the word Harinaigameshi is explained as follows: 'Hareh Indrasya Naigamam Aadeshimchchatiti Harinaigameshi, Kecit Hareh Indrasya Sambandhi Naigameshi, Nama Deva iti' - meaning that there are two meanings of the word Harinaigameshi - 1. A god who desires the Naigama - order of Hari-Indra and 2. A god who is related to Hari-Indra, i.e. Naigameshi. Harinaigameshi is the commander-in-chief of the gods in the Saudharma heaven, the king Maharaja Shakrendra. It was this god who changed the womb of Bhagwan Mahavira on receiving the order of Indra.
'Ull-pad-sadaya' means - one who wears a wet (soaked) pat and shatika. Pat is the name of a garment worn on the upper body. The word shatika refers to a dhoti or saree worn on the lower body.
'Ahareiva, Nihareiva, Vareiva' means - she used to eat - she used to eat food. Nihareiva means she was relieved from the activities of defecation etc. The word Vareiva is derived from the root Vri, which means - to think, to choose, to get engaged, to beg, to cover, to serve. In the present case, the root Vri seems to be used in the sense of thinking. Then 'Vareiva' will mean she used to think, she used to think about other matters.
"Bhakti = Bahuman-Sususaae" means - by devotion, respect and service. The word Bhakti is indicative of affection, the word Bahuman is indicative of excessive respect and the word Sushrusha is indicative of service. By these words, the sutrakar has indicated three means of worshipping - proving or pleasing the Harinaigameshi god. These three things are required to prove the god. First of all, the devotee should have affection for the god in his heart, then there should be a feeling of excessive respect and honour for the god in the devotee's heart. The third means of proving the god is service to the god.
Sulsana worshipped the Harinaigameshi god, worshipped him, as a result she achieved her desired goal. This clearly proves that the worship done towards the deity can be helpful in fulfilling the desires of the devotee. The god is powerful to protect his devotee and to bestow grace upon him.
People worship gods to obtain sons etc. and due to the support of some past good deeds, they obtain sons etc. and due to excessive devotion, they consider it to be given by the god. They consider the god to be the main reason for obtaining sons etc. They are wrong, because if the god can be the instrumental cause in manifesting the fruits of past deeds, then on the contrary, if the past deeds are not supportive...
