Maxim 13 :
Thereafter Arihanta Aristanemi addressing queen Devaki spoke thus unto her-O Devaki ! Did such suspicion and thought arise in your mind, that the forecast about you done by Atimukta Kumāra-sage that you will give birth to eight
matchless sons, proved false ? In this regard, for asking and being sure, you have come quickly here. Is it correct ? Devaki accepted-O Bhagawan ! It is correct. Bhagawāna Aristanemi removing the doubt, began to speakO beloved as gods ! At that time and at that period, a gāthāpatī named Nāga lived in Bhaddilapura. He was very rich. Sulasă was his wife. An astrologer told about Sulasā, when she was in childhood that this girl would give birth to deceased children, On account of this, Sulasă became the devotee of Hariņagameșī god. Sulasă made an image of Hariņagameși god. Every morning she bathed, repented for ill-dreams and worshipped god by fragrant, beautiful flowers of great value, wearing all the time drenched robe. After worship she fell on her knees and bowed down; then she used to do the work of household, food etc.
सूत्र १४:
