________________ CELEEEEEEEEEE4555555555510 Finding a suitable place outside the town Chanakya raised a tent. 5 In the roof of this pavilion, he made a hole of calculated size. During 4 4 the first quarter of the full moon night Chanakya invited the 4 1 kshatriya with his wife. When the couple entered the tent, Chanakya placed a large flat plate filled with a transparent liquid before the pregnant women on a marked place on the ground where the moon 4 would reflect through the hole in the tent in the plate. Some time 4 later when the moon was in line with the plate and the hole, it 55 became visible in the plate. Chanakya at once said-"Sister, now the scended in the plate. Please carefully lift the plate and ... 45 swallow it with the liquid.” The lady was pleased to see the reflection of the moon in the plate. 45 She carefully picked up the plate and started drinking the liquid. In 4 the mean time Chanakya drew a pre-arranged curtain over the hole 4 with the help of a string. When the lady finished the liquid in the 4 5 plate she put it back on the ground and saw that there was no moon 4 in the plate. She was convinced that she had swallowed the moon. 45 She beamed with joy. Slowly her health improved and in due course it 55 she gave birth to a brilliant child. The child was named 45 55 Chandragupta. This same child grew into a valorous young man and 55 with the help of Chanakya destroyed the Nand dynasty to become famous as Chandragupta Maurya, the Magadh Emperor. Chanakya 5 was endowed with unlimited Parinamiki Buddhi. (१३) स्थूलिभद्र-पाटलिपुत्र के नन्द राजा का मंत्री शकटार बहुत बुद्धिमान व चतुर था। है उसके स्थूलिभद्र तथा श्रियक नाम के दो पुत्र तथा यक्षा, यक्षदत्ता, भूता, भूतदत्ता, सेणा, वेणा 卐 और रेणा नाम की सात पुत्रियाँ थीं। शकटार के ये सभी पुत्र-पुत्रियाँ अद्भुत कुशाग्र बुद्धि सम्पन्न थे। सातों पुत्रियों की स्मृति तो आश्चर्यजनक रूप से कुशाग्र थी। सबसे बड़ी पुत्री यक्षा जो बात एक बार सुन लेती थी वह उसको ज्यों की त्यों अक्षरशः याद हो जाती थी। दूसरी को दो बार सुनने पर, तीसरी को तीन बार सुनने पर और इसी प्रकार सातवीं को सात बार सुनने पर पूरी बात याद हो जाती थी। पाटलिपुत्र में ही वररुचि नाम का एक विद्वान किन्तु दरिद्र ब्राह्मण रहता था। वह प्रतिदिन १0८ श्लोकों की नवीन रचना कर राज-दरबार में महाराज नन्द की स्तुति किया करता था। 卐 स्तुति सुनकर नन्द अपने मंत्री शकटार का मन्तव्य जानने के लिए उसकी ओर देखता था। शकटार प्रशंसा करे तो वररुचि को उचित पुरस्कार दिया जा सके। गंभीर प्रकृति का मंत्री किन्तु 5 शकटार मौन ही रहता और वररुचि खाली हाथ घर लौट जाता। घर पहुँचते ही पत्नी ताने देती। मतिज्ञान ( पारिणामिकी बुद्धि) (२६९ ) Mati-jnana (Parinamiki Buddhi) O5555555555555555555555555550 不听听听听听听听FFFFFFF玩乐听听听听听听听听听听听听F F听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 听听听听听听听听听F$$ $$ $听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
