विजय मुहूर्त में, ज़म्भिका नामक ग्राम के बाहर, ऋजुवालिका नदी के किनारे, जीर्णोद्धार योग्य चैत्य सेन अत्यधिक दूर और न अत्यधिक निकट श्यामाक नामक गृहपति के खेत में, शालवृक्ष के नीचे, गोदोहिका प्रासन से उत्कट रूप में बैठे हुए, अातापना द्वारा तप करते हुए, निर्जल छट्ठभक्त - दो उपवास किये हुए, ध्यानमग्न भगवान् को हस्तोत्तरा (उत्तराफाल्गुनी) नक्षत्र का योग आने पर अनन्त,

And, then, in the thirteenth year of his wanderings, Bhagavān Mahävira attained the ultimate knowledge and vision called kevala : the vision which is final, unimpeded, unveiled, total and all-embracing. This happened in the second month of summer, the month of Vaisakha, in that season's fourth fortnight when the moon was in its waxing phase. The day was the tenth of the fortnight, it was the day called Skvrata. The shadows had moved to the east for one man-length and the hour (muharia) was the auspicious hour called Vijaya (Success). Bhagavan Mahavira, who had been taking only one meal without water in three days, was at that time sitting in meditation under a sila tree in the fields of the houscholder Syamaka, near an abandoned temple called Vijayī varta on the banks of the Rjupalikā river in the vicinity of the village called Jrmbhaka. He sat with heels together, crouching in the posture of milking a cow, exposing himself to the heat of the sun. The moon was at the moment in conjunction with the constellation ullarāphalguni.
