61. श्री अभिनन्दन स्वामी
इसके बाद आयोध्या का शासन करने वाले राजा संबर और उनकी रानी सिद्धार्थी गर्भ से श्री अभिनन्दन स्वामी का जन्म हुआ था। माघ बहुळ वि दिया (द्वितीया) के दिन । सारे राज्य में सुभिक्ष (सुकाल) था और शत्रुभय नहीं ता । इस लिये उनका नाम अभिनन्दन रखा गया। समस्त राज भोगों का अनुभव करने के बाद श्री अभिनन्दन स्वामी ने सन्यास की दीक्षा ग्रहण की। फिर केवल ज्ञान को प्राप्त कर अहँत और चतुर्थ तीर्थङ्कर बन गये । उनको वैशाख बहुळ अष्टमी के दिन मोक्षा की प्राप्ति हुई।
61 SHRI ABHINANDANA SWAMY
The next of the Tirthankaras is Shri Abhinandanaswamy. He was born to King Sambara and Queen Siddhartha of Ayodhya. The day was Magha Bahula Vidiya (corresponding to the second day of the waning phase of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar). When this child was born, the Kingdom was enjoying peace and prosperity, and so the child was given the name Shri Abhinandana. After having tasted all material pleasures Shri Abhinandana Swamy entered monkhood on a Magha Bahula Dwadasi (corresponding to the twelfth day in the waning phase of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar). This happened in the city of Ayodhya itself. And the Swamy, divested of all earthly bonds, led a life of a monk for 28 years and finally became an Arhantha, having attained Kevalajnana. On a Pushya Shuddha Chaturdasi (corresponding to the fourteenth day of the waxing phase of the tenth month in the lunar calendar), he thus became the fourth of the Tirthankaras. He attained Supreme Bliss on a Vaisakha Bahula Asthami i.e. 8ih day of the waning fortnight in the second month of lunar the calendar.
