ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS BY SERVING GODS
13. At this order from Suryabh Dev the serving gods (Abhiyogic Dev) became happy and cheerful. They clasped their hands and a touching their head said-"O the respected master ! Whatever you * have ordered is proper.” Accepting the order they uttered that “They
shall perform the assignment accordingly.” They then went away in _north-east direction.
They then spread the pradeshas beyond their fluid body (Vaikriya Samudghat). Then they created a jewel-studded thick rod numerable yojans long. The said jewels were—(1) Karketan,
(2) Vajra, (3) Vaidurya, (4) Lohitaksh, (5) Masaargalla, * (6) Hansgarbh, (7) Pulak, (8) Saugandhik, (9) Jyoti, (10) Anjan,
(11) Anjan pullak, (12) Rajat, (13) Jaatroop, (14) Ank, (15) Sphatik, and (16) Rishth jewels. They removed the gross useless atoms of the said jewels and added subtle useful atoms. Later, they again spread the pradeshas of soul beyond their fluid body (Vaikriya Samudghat).
After performing the Samudghat of fluid body and thus creating respective fluid bodies of the best type they moved at an extremely high speed like a dreadful storm of a very great velocity. They crossed innumerable continents and oceans and Aamal-kappa city in Bharat area of Jambu Dveep. Then they came to the place in Aamrashalvan where Bhagavan Mahavir was seated.
After arriving there, they went round the Lord three times, greeted him, bowed before him and said, ___ "O the reverend ! We, the gods in service of our master Suryabh
Dev honour you, greet you and bow to you. You are auspicious, To godlike and fountain of knowledge we pay our respects to thee.”
विवेचन-अपने मूल शरीर मे रहते हुए जीव-प्रदेशो को शरीर से बाहर निकलने की क्रिया को * समुद्घात कहते है। सात कारणों से जीव-प्रदेशो के शरीर से बाहर निकलने के कारण समुद्घात के भी
सात भेद है। उनमे से यहाँ वैक्रिय समुद्घात का उल्लेख है। यह वैक्रियशरीर नामकर्म के कारण होती है। वैक्रियलब्धि वाला जीव विक्रिया करते समय अपने आत्म-प्रदेशो को विस्तार मे शरीर परिमाण और ऊँचाई मे संख्यात योजन प्रमाण दडाकार रूप मे शरीर से बाहर निकालता है।
वैक्रियलब्धि से दो प्रकार की विक्रिया होती है-पृथक् विक्रिया और अपृथक् विक्रिया। आभियोगिक देवो ने पहले पृथक् विक्रिया द्वारा दड बनाया और उसके पश्चात् दूसरी बार अपने-अपने उत्तर रूप की विकुर्वणा की। इसीलिए यहाँ दो बार वैक्रिय समुद्घात करने का उल्लेख किया है।
