________________ taking the permission of parents, he accepted the consecration at the lotus feet of Bhagawāna. Speciality from Gautama Kumāra is this-that Anikasena Kumāra learned Sāmāyika etc., eleven Angas and fourteen Pūrvas, practised sramaņahood upto 20 years. Remaining account is the same, he climbed upon mountain Satrunjaya and liberated after the samlekhanā of one month. Thus O Jambū ! śramana Bhagawāna Mahāvīra has described the subject matter of first chapter of third section of Eighth Anga Antakyddaśā Sūtra. (First chapter of third section concluded) विवेचन प्रीतिदान-किसी भी हर्ष के प्रसंग पर प्रसन्नता के साथ दिया जाने वाला पुरस्कार या उपहार प्राचीन समय में “प्रीतिदान" के नाम से प्रसिद्ध था । ध्यान देने की बात है कि कन्यापक्ष की ओर से वर पक्ष को दिया जाने वाला धन जिसे आजकल दहेज कहते हैं, प्राचीन समय में “दाय" कहलाता था । गौतम कुमार के प्रकरण में “दाय" शब्द का प्रयोग हुआ है । किन्तु यहां प्रीतिदान शब्द है और यह अपनी बत्तीस पुत्रवधुओं के लिए वर के पिता नाग गाथापति की ओर से दिया गया । जो उन बत्तीस कन्याओं (बहुओं) में बाँट दिया गया । वैसे आगमों में 'दाय' और 'प्रीतिदान' दोनों ही शब्दों का यथाप्रसंग समान अर्थ में भी प्रयोग मिलता है। Elucidation Pritidāna-At any occasion of pleasure, the prize or present given wilfully and with happiness, was famous by the term prītidāna in ancient times. It is to be taken into consideration that the wealth given by relatives of bride to bridegroom which is now called dowry, in the ancient times it was called dāya. In the episode of Gautama Kumāra the word daya is used; but here is the word pritidāna and it is given by Nága Gāthāpati the father of bridegroom to his thirtytwo daughtersin-law, which was distributed among them (brides). प्रथम अध्ययन Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
