The Forty-Sixth Chapter

466. Having assumed a divine form, he narrated his own story, and having given them precious ornaments, he went to his own place. ||255||

Once, in the country of Vatsa, near the city of Susima, the Muni Shivagosha, who had destroyed the karma of Ghatiya, attained Kevala Jnana. ||256||

In that festival, Shachi and Menaka, the celestial nymphs, came with Indra and bowed down to the Jinesvara. They sat near Indra. Indra asked the Lord, "Why have these two become celestial nymphs?" Then the Tirthankara said, "In their previous birth, they were the daughters of a gardener. The first one was named Pushpapalita and the second one was Pushpavati. Both of them had taken the Shravaka Vrata seven days ago. One day, while they were picking flowers in the forest, they died due to a serpent-like fire and became celestial nymphs." ||257-258||

Hiranyavarma and Prabhavati, who had become celestial beings, also heard about their previous birth in the Samavasarana. Then, both of them left the assembly ground and, according to their wish, went to the places where they had experienced happiness in their previous birth. They reached the forest near the serpent lake. ||260-261||

In that forest, a Muni named Bhima had also come with his group. Seeing him, both of them bowed down to him with humility and asked him about Dharma. ||262||

Hearing their words, the Muni said, "I am newly initiated. Teaching Dharma is the work of those Munis who know the meaning of all the scriptures. Therefore, although I am not capable of teaching Dharma, I will say something according to my ability at your request. You should listen carefully." ||263-264||

Saying this, he explained the Samyak Darshan, Satpatra Dana, and other things related to Shravakas, and also the Dharma related to Yama and other Munis. He explained the four Gatis, their causes and results, the means of attaining heaven and liberation, and the essence of Jiva and other substances. ||265-266||

Those celestial beings, having listened to the Dharmakatha, etc., developed faith in the truth, their anger subsided, and finally, they revealed their divine form and narrated their whole story. Then, giving them precious ornaments, both of them went to their own places. ||247-255||
