________________ 155 Once, the king of Krauñcapura got the news of the arrival of the sages. With a great paraphernlia, he went there to salute him. (80) चाणक्यादिमुनीन् नत्वा स तत्पूजां विधाय च । महाविनयसंपन्नो विवेश निजपत्तनम् ।। He bowed down to Cāņakya and all the other sages and performed pūjā. With a great respect in his mind, he came back to his city. (81) ततोऽस्तमनवेलायां यतीनां शुद्धचेतसाम् । __साग्निं करीषमाधाय तत्समीपेऽपि रोषतः ।। (82) विधाय स्वेन देहेन पापराशेरुपार्जनम् । महाक्रोधपरीताङ्गः सुबन्धुर्नरकं ययौ ।। At the time of sunset, Subandhu went towards them angrily and kept burning cow-dungs around the pure-minded ascetics. Thus, encompassed with a great fury, Subandhu acquired a heap of evil and entered the fierce hell. (83) चाणक्याख्यो मुनिस्तत्र शिष्यपञ्चशतैः सह । पादोपगमनं कृत्वा शुक्लध्यानमुपेयिवान् ।। The revered sage Cāņakya along with his five hundred disciples, accepted wilful death, engaging himself in śukladhyāna, the supreme type of meditation. (84) उपसर्ग सहित्वेमं सुबन्धुविहितं तदा । ___समाधिमरणं प्राप्य चाणक्य: सिद्धिमीयिवान् ।। Cāņakya endured the troubles created by Subandhu at that time. He accepted samādhimaraṇa and attained liberation. (85) तत: पश्चिमदिग्भागे दिव्यक्रौञ्चपुरस्य सा । निषद्यका मुनेरस्य वन्द्यतेऽद्यापि साधुभिः ।। At the western part of the divine Krauñcapura, there exists one platform created in the memory of this sage (Canakya) even now, which is adored by the monks.
