K a's arrival at Amarakamk :- To find out about Draupad Kr a went to Amarakamk in Dhatak kha da and conversed with Vasudeva Kapila through the conch. Usually cakravarts and Vasudevas do not go outside their boundaries but K a did, which is also an extraordinary event. The Descending of Candra and S rya: - Gods like S rya, Candra, etc come to see the Lord but not in their own palaces (vim na). But in Kau mb at the samava ara a, the gods like Candra, S rya came to see the Lord Mah v ra in their own respective vim nas, which is an extraordinary event. Harivam a clan origins (the twins going to hell):- On seeing the twins Hari and Hari leading their lives happily; their past life enemy, who was a heavenly being in that life, remembered his animosity and using his powers he reduced their age and bodily stature and sent them to Camp city where people were in search of a new king. They made these two the king and queen. Because of bad company they both started indulging in bad habits and both went to hell. Twins (yugalika) do not go to hell but Hari and Hari went there which is an extraordinary event. These twins gave rise to the Harivam a clan. Rise of Camara: - The soul of ascetic P ra a was born as king of Asuras (Camarendra). He saw that above him was akrendra, of the realm of gods seated on a throne and enjoying pleasures. Out of envy, he wished to produce obstacles in the happiness of
akra. Taking refuse in Lord Mah v ra's congregation, he created havoc in Saudharma-kalpa. Angry with this akra threw a thunderbolt at him. Afraid, Camarendra fell at the Lord's feet. When akrendra learnt that Camarendra is at the Lord's feet taking refuge he came with great speed and holding his thunderbolt, saved Camarendra and forgave him. It is an extraordinary event for Camarendra to take refuge in Arihanta and go to Saudharma realm of gods. 108 monks with supreme body (avag han ) attaining liberation (Siddha) together: According to norms there should be only two Siddha as with supreme body. But there was Lord V abhan tha with 500 dhanu a avag han and 108 souls including his sons, etc who became Siddha as all at the same time. This is an extraordinary event.
