constellation, on eleventh day of dark half of Phalgun (Magh) month.
The deities constructed place of sermons. Below the 240 bows long Ashok tree God described ten types of Yatidharm, twelve vrats of Shravak and thirty five qualities of Mārgānusāri (follower) in the lecture.
Listening to his lecture many great souls pursued initiation and many became Shravak in real sense. Indra etc. 18 became ganadhars of God.
In God Munisuvrat Swami's administration, Varun having vehicle of ox was the adhishthayakdev and prosperous Narduttā sitting on wealth was the adhishthāyakādevi.
God was roaming and came to Bharuch city. Riding on his favourite horse, the king Jeetshatru came to listen to God's lecture. All were listening with full concentration. Even the King's horse was completely absorbed by lecture. When lecture got over gandadhar asked, "God! Who understood religion in this sermon?"
"In this sermon except King Jeeshatru's horse no other had understood the religion"
Though thousands of deities, men etc. meritorious souls were present only one horse understood the religion!
