God had same feeling towards both tyrannical Meghmāli and saviour Dharnendra. He didn't have any attachment with Dharnenda or hate for Meghmāli. Hence, it is called, "Kamathe Dharnendre Cha... Swochitam Karma Kurvati... Prabhustulya Manovruttim" After wandering for eighty four days as Chhadmastha, God again came to Banaras. In Ashrampad garden, he was meditating below Ghatki tree. He had done penance of Aththam. In Vishakhā constellation, on fourteenth day of dark half of Chaitra (Phalgun) month, he attained pure Kevalgyan. The deities constructed place of sermons. Below twenty seven bows long Chaitya tree sitting on studded seat God started his lecture. Listening to his lecture on fifteen Karmadān many souls pursued initiation and many souls became Shravak in real sense. Aryadutt etc. 10 became ganadhars of God Parshwanath. King Ashwasen, mother Vāmādevi and queen Prabhavati etc. also pursued initiation. In God Parshwanath Swami's administration, Parshwa having vehicle of tortoise was the adhishthāyakdev and Padmavati having vehicle of snake was the adhishthāyakādevi.
