## Chapter (Adhyayan) - 6 - Nandivardhan
**O INTRODUCTION:**
The sixth chapter contains the heart-rending description of the pathetic and horrific condition of prince Nandivardhan (Nandishen). Even a great sage like Gautam Swami was touched when he saw the infernal tortures suffered by him.
Drawing the attention of Gautam Swami on the karmic cause of this torture Bhagavan says-"During this birth Nandivardhan goes against his father and wants to gain the kingdom by killing his father. He is being punished by the guards for this only. But at the root of this entire are the bad karmas acquired during the past birth, when he was Duryodhan, the jailer. The duty of a jailer is to protect people from rogues and tyrants and subdue evil. But when that protector, bereft of humanity, transforms into a demon and employs a ruthless and pitiless punitive policy that puts even demons to shame, he disgraces his post as well as humanity." The extremely harsh system of punishment adopted by Duryodhan has been described in details in a hair-raising style by the author of this Agam. Shivers go through the spine while reading or listening to it.
This story describes the fruits of these cruel and ruthless evil acts. This description reveals the meanest point of the harsh ancient system of punishment.
At the beginning the title of this chapter is mentioned as Nandi, in aphorism 2 it as Nandivardhan, and in aphorism 10 as Nandishen. This appears to be a mistake committed by transcribes.
**[29] Meaning- Jambu Swami asked—"Bhante! When Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir, who has attained liberation, has preached the aforesaid text and meaning of the fifth chapter, then what is the text and meaning of the sixth chapter as preached by him?"**
Sudharma Swami replied to Jambu
