Avadhi gyaan, he came to know about his previous birth and once again his anger for Bhadrabahu Swami was aroused. Since he now possessed several powers, he decided to take revenge and hence spread an epidemic (Marki) in community people-the four fold group (chaturvidh sangh).
Acharya Bhadrabahu Swami identified the trouble and with his supreme knowledge and power he recognized that it was the deed of Varahmihir, the Vyantardev. To protect the community from this grave trouble, Bhadrabahu Swami initiated a 3-day fast and immersed himself in the deep worship of Parmatma Parshvanath. While singing the hymn in the praise of Parmatma Parshvanath, the Uvasaggahar Stotra was naturally composed. Deep love and devotion of Bhadrabahu Swami found expression in this Stotra.
Thus the divine and highly effective Uvasaggahar Stotra was composed.
On completion of the recitation of the seventh stanza of the Stotra, the Adhishtayak Dev of Parshvanath Bhagwaan, named Parshvyaksh appeared at the service of Bhadrabahu Swami.
Swamiji requsted, “I have no personal desire, but I request you to solve the problems and difficulties faced by our community due to the upheaval caused by the actions of the Vyantardev Varahmihir.”
