had conquered anger, conceit, illusion, and greed and, at the same time, he had also won over the senses, sleep, and afflictions. The desire to live and the fear of death, both had no place in his mind.
Penance and virtues occupied most prominent place in his life. He had profound knowledge of the rules of ascetic conduct (Karan-sattari), and at the same time he also immaculately followed those rules (Charan-sattari). He was ideally endowed with virtues like Nigraha (self-control), Nishchaya (determination), Arjava (simplicity), Mardava (humility), Laghav (extreme brevity of ego and desire for possessions), Kshama (forgiveness), Gupti (discipline of attitude and behaviour), Mukti (freedom), Vidya (esoteric skills), Mantra, Brahmacharya (celibacy), Veda (scriptures), Naya (logic), Niyam (discipline), Satya (truth), Shauch (cleansing), Jnana (knowledge), Darshan (perception), and Charitra (conduct).
He was benevolent as well as strict adherent of right conduct. He was extremely resolute in observation of vows, penance, and celibacy. He had no attachment for his body. He had acquired the hyper-potent Tejoleshya (fire power). He had the complete knowledge of all the fourteen Purvas (sublime scriptures). And finally, he possessed all the four branches of knowledge.
Wandering from one village to another along with his five hundred disciples, Sudharma Swami arrived at the Purnabhadra Chaitya in the town of Champa. After seeking formal permission he camped there and started his spiritual activities related to inner discipline and penance.
सूत्र ३ : तए णं चंपाए नयरीए परिसा निग्गया। कोणिओ निग्गओ। धम्मो कहिओ। परिसा जामेव दिसं पाउब्भूआ, तामेव दिसिं पडिगया।
सूत्र ३ : इसके बाद चम्पा नगरी से निकलकर जनसमूह और राजा कुणिक भी पूर्णभद्र चैत्य में आये। इस जनसमूह को सुधर्मा स्वामी ने धर्म का उपदेश दिया। उपदेश सुनने के बाद सभी अपने-अपने स्थान को लौट गए।
3. After that, throngs of people as also king Kunik came out of the town and went to the temple. Sudharma Swami gave a discourse and the masses returned home.
