The state of Anuttaroppapatikadasha is called Kayotsarga with the perception of Parinirvana. The disposal of the body of a deceased Sadhu is also called Parinirvana. Here, the nearby Sthaviras, seeing the death of the blessed Anagara, performed this Kayotsarga (meditation). Then they brought his clothes, utensils, and other equipment and came to the Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira and told him the whole story of the Anagara's death in Samadhi. They sang his praises, praised his Upasham-bhava, and handed over his clothes and other equipment to Sri Bhagwan.
At that time, Gautam Swami bowed to Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira and asked him, "O Bhagwan! Where has your humble disciple, the blessed Anagara, gone after attaining Samadhi-death? Where has he been born? How long will his state be there, and where will he be born after that?" In reply, Shraman Bhagwan said, "O Gautam! My humble disciple, the blessed Anagara, has attained Samadhi-death and has been born in the Sarvarth Siddha Vimana. There, his state will be for thirty-three Sagaropama. From there, he will be born in the Mahavideha Kshetra and attain Moksha, that is, he will become Siddha, Buddha, and Mukta, and attain Parinirvana, ending all suffering."
From this Sutra, we learn that every Sadhak should face death with Samadhi, by performing actions like criticism, etc., so that he remains a true devotee until his last breath and becomes eligible for Moksha, either directly or through tradition.
