called bhasmak (a disease in which food is digested quickly). As a consequence whatever he consumed was quickly digested and at once turned into pus and blood.
After nine months of pregnancy Mruga Devi gave birth to a child who was congenitally blind (dumb, deaf, crippled, deformed and disfigured) and had mere outlines of body-parts. The moment Mriga Devi saw such deformed, disfigured and blind child she was terrified, horrified, disgusted and disturbed. She started trembling with fear.) She at once called the nursemaid and said "Beloved of gods! Go and throw this infant on a heap of trash in isolation."
The nursemaid accepted Mriga Devi's order by uttering—"All right." After that she went to Vijaya Kshatriya and said "Master! After nine months of pregnancy Mriga Devi gave birth to a child who is congenitally blind... and so on up to... and has mere outlines of bodyparts. When Mriga Devi saw this deformed and blind child she was terrified and called me. She said to me Beloved of gods! Go and throw this infant on a heap of trash in isolation.' So, master! Please tell me if I should throw this infant in isolation or not?"
On hearing all this from the nursemaid Vijaya Kshatriya got disturbed and stood up. He then came to Mriga Devi and said—"Beloved of gods! This is your first born and if you throw him on a heap of trash in isolation your future offspring will not be firm. In other words, they will be harmed. Therefore, (instead of throwing him) you should feed and rear up this child under wraps in a secret cellar. This would make your future offspring firm and stable." Mriga Devi humbly accepted Vijaya Kshatriya's advise by uttering—"As you say." And she started feeding and bringing up that child under wraps in a secret cellar.
Bhagavan Mahavir added—"Gautam ! Thus child Mrugaputra is biding his time visibly suffering the fruits of demeritorious karmas he acquired during his earlier birth."
[10] Meaning- "Bhante ! Where will this child Mrigaputra go after his death? Where will he reincarnate?" (Gautam asked)
(Replying to Gautam Swami's question Bhagavan Mahavir said-) Gautam! He will die at the (ordained) moment of death at the conclusion of his predestined) life-span of twenty six years and will be born as a lion in a pride of lions in the valley of the Vaitadhya Mountain. That lion will be extremely impious and, indulging in grave sinful activities, he will accumulate excessive bad karmas. After death that lion will take birth as an infernal being among the infernal beings of Ratnaprabha Prithvi, the first hell, having a maximum life-span of one Sagaropam. From the first hell he will get reborn in the genus of reptiles and from there he will reincarnate in second hell having a maximum life span of three Sagaropam.
Coming out from there after death he will get reborn as a bird and from there in the third hell having a maximum life span of seven Sagaropam.
Ending his life as an infernal being he will get reborn as a lion and from there in the fourth hell. After leaving fourth hell he will take rebirth as a snake and from there in the fifth hell. After fifth hell he will take birth as a woman and then in the sixth hell. After the sixth hell he will take birth as a man and then in the seventh hell. Coming out of the seventh hell he will enter the genus of jalachar-panchendriya tiryanch-yonik (aquatic five-sensed animal) that includes 1.25 million species including fish, tortoise, crocodile, alligator, and Sunsumar. In each different species he will take birth and die millions of times
