207, altogether one hundred and eight persons attained Final Liberation in one Samaya at Instant. It is a strange event.
10. TENTH STRANGE EVENT. The adoration and worship of unconsecrated individuals is a strange event. Unconsecrated Brāhmins, who are avaraclJus of riches and property, were worshipped during the interval between the time of the Ninth and the Tenth Tîrtbersaras. As a rule, only those who have renounced the world, deserve to be worshipped. The adoration and worship of the unconsecrated Brahmins, during the present Avasarpiņi age, is a strange event.
These teo strange events occurred during ihe present Avasarpiņi óge, after the lapse of innumerable years. In the game manner, other ten strange events occurred in other Bharata and Airavata continents on account of the sameness of the Avocarpiņi age in those continents. The ascent of Camarépdra happened only in the Bharata Kśétra of Jambū divpa, but not in other continents; in those continents, other strange events occurrel.
These ten strange events happened in the present Avasapini age, during the timis of the Tirthankaras as mentioned in the following two verses:---
उसहे अहहिअसयं सिद्ध (१) सिअलजिणम्मि हरिवंसो (२)। नेमिजिणेऽवरकंकागमणं कण्हस्स संपत्तम् (३) ॥१॥ Frenfarý trest (8) HATTO Fanfhot (4) I
