Looking at the gentle and eligible Naysar saints also prompted to show Bhāvmärg (way of religion) to Naysar. The saints provided exact understanding of Dev, Guru, Dharm (God, spiritual guide and Religion). Naysar also learnt Namaskar Mahāmatra in accurate manner. Oh! How wonderful Jainism is! Naysar attained Samyak Darshan with the knowledge regarding evaluation of Dev, Guru and Dharm. He had been remembering favour done by the saints. He completed his life and reborn as deity in the first heaven with the life of one sagaropam. He arranged various programs for worshipping God and made his Samyak Darshan cleaner, which he had attained in the birth of Naysar. After completing life in the heaven, in the next birth he got birth as son of first sovereign King Bharat; the son of first Tirthankar God Rushabhdev. He was named as Marichi. The matured Marichi forsook world and pursued initiation after listening to the lectures of God Rushabhdev. However, Marichi was having very delicate body and because of strong Chariträvarṇiya Karma, he was unable to bear pains of saint's life. He designed a new dress of Tridandi by his own sense. Though he brought leniency in the rules of saint's life he had extraordinary faith on God's words. Looking at new dress, many souls came to Marichi to understand religion. The good orator Marichi showed everyone the correct way of God. And listening to Jain Education International For Private 217sonal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
