## Āgama Sūtra 39, Cheda Sūtra-5, 'Mahānishīth'
**Study/Purpose/Sūtra Number** Due to the hindrance karma earned, the soul of Lakshmanā did not receive breast milk until the Koḍakoḍī Bhavantara. Bound by ropes, halting, shackled, suppressed, experiencing separation from mother etc., it wandered in the Bhava for a long time. After that, it was born as a Dākana woman in the human womb. There, the dog-keeper injured her and left. From there, after death, it attained human form here and due to the defects of the body, in this Mahāpṛthvī Mandala, in a village with five houses - a city, town or a Pattana, it did not experience even a moment of happiness, not even half a Phora. **Sūtra - 1227-1232**
O Gautam! Even in that human form, feeling many agonizing sorrows similar to the suffering of the Naraka, the soul of Lakshmanā Devi, due to the fault of extreme Raudra Dhyāna, died and was born in the Kharahaḍ Naraka in the seventh Naraka Pṛthvī. Experiencing such great suffering there, after completing the lifespan of thirty-three Sagaropama, it was born as a barren cow. It would enter other people's fields and courtyards, causing damage, breaking bushes and eating fodder. Then, many people gathered and took it to a muddy place where it could not escape. It got stuck there and could not get out. While trapped, that poor cow was eaten by aquatic creatures. Crows and jackals pecked at it. The soul of that cow, filled with anger, died and was born as a snake with vision-poison in the Marwaḍ desert, devoid of water and grains. From that serpent form, it again reached the fifth Naraka Pṛthvī. **Sūtra - 1233-1239**
In this way, O Gautam! The soul of Lakshmanā Sādhvī, after enduring intense suffering for a long time, wandering in the four Gati forms of the world, in Naraka, Tiryanch and Kumānavapan, will again be born as the soul of the श्रेणीक king, who will be the first Tirthankara, Padmanābha, in the upcoming twenty-four. It will be born as a Kubjikā in the village of Śarīrasībī, which is like a mine. It will not be able to give joy by seeing its mother. At that time, everyone will think, "This is a cause of anxiety," and will apply a paste of Meśagerū on its body, make it ride a donkey and take it around. They will then attach birds on both sides of its body, play a Didim with a hollow sound in front of it, take it around in one village, then take it out to another place and it will not be able to enter the village again. Then, living in the forest, it will eat roots and fruits. Due to the sting of a poisonous insect in the middle of its navel, it will suffer pain and develop skin diseases like scabies, eczema, and itch all over its body. It will scratch itself and experience unbearable suffering. **Sūtra - 1240-1241**
While suffering, Padmanābha Tirthankara Bhagavan will hold a Samvasarana there and it will see him. Therefore, immediately, it and other Bhavyas living in that country, and women whose bodies are also afflicted with diseases and pain, will be freed from all community diseases by the sight of the Tirthankara Bhagavan. Along with it, the soul of Lakshmanā Sādhvī, who is Kubjikā, will consume intense penance and end its suffering. **Sūtra - 1242**
O Gautam! This is the Lakshmanā Āryā who, due to the fault of Agītārthapan, received the tradition of suffering of a mind with slight pollution. **Sūtra - 1243-1244**
O Gautam! Just as this Lakshmanā Āryā received the tradition of suffering, understand that to receive the tradition of infinite Agītārtha suffering of a polluted mind, one should be completely Gītārtha in all respects, or remain under their command with Agītārtha, and have a very pure, clear, spotless, and free from impurities mind. In that way, Bhagavan...
