handed over the girl to Nabhi Kulkar. Nabhi Kulkar decided to arrange her marriage with Rushabh.
They named that girl 'Sunanda' When Rushabh reached puberty he wedded to Sunanda and Sumangalā.
As Saudharmendra Mahārājā had established God's lineage he felt his duty to attend God's wedding ceremony. He was present with his family in the God's wedding ceremony. They celebrated incredibly.
Time is unstoppable. Sumangala gave birth to twin named Bharat and Brahmi whereas Sunanda gave birth to brilliant twin Bahubali and Sundari. Successively Sumangalā gave birth to 49 twin baby boys.
God became father of 100 boys and two girls... Futuristic First Tirthankar married unenthusiastically. Moreover, he also has to establish his kingdom.
Constitution and kingdom are necessary to punish corrupt and to protect innocent. Yugliks were very straight forward, gentle and patient and hence, they get rebirth in heaven. However, gradually anger, proud, illusion, parsimony etc. were increasing in Yugliks also. To avoid all these, kingdom was essential. Earlier kings used to follow penance of affirmation, negation and aversion. People began transgressing these penances and Yugliks were complaining.
