The Sixth Chapter
131
In the village of Palala Parvata, from the Devigramakoota, there was a daughter named Dhanshri, well-known in the womb of Sumati. ||135||
One day, out of ignorance, she placed the putrid body of a dog near the Muni's Samadhi, and was happy about her act. ||136||
Seeing this, the Muni said to her, "You have done a very wrong act, O girl. This will bear a bitter fruit for you in the future, because disrespect to the venerable ones brings great suffering in other births." ||137-138||
Approaching him, she begged for forgiveness, saying, "O Bhagavan, I did this out of ignorance, please forgive me." ||139||
Due to that appeasement, you received a little merit, and because of that, you have been born in this extremely poor family in this human birth. ||140||
Therefore, O Kalyani, accept the *Jinengra Guna Sampatti* and *Shruta Gyan* vows, one after the other. ||141||
O Arya, this *Anashan* (fasting) penance, performed according to the rules, is considered to quickly destroy the karmas. ||142||
The sixteen *Karana Bhavanas* (causes of meditation), five *Kalyanaks* (auspicious events), eight *Pratiharayas* (miracles), and thirty-four *Atishyas* (superhuman powers) are the sixty-three qualities that are the cause of the *Tirthankara* (liberated soul) merit. The *Jinengra Guna Sampatti* vow is performed with these sixty-three qualities as the goal. ||143-144||
The Muni's like Ganadhara have said that one should perform sixty-three fasts in the *Jinengra Guna Sampatti* vow. Now, the nature of the *Shruta Gyan* vow is being explained. ||145||
