of Arya Sudharma Swamel or breadth of ting his virtues sho
During that period of time Arya Jambu was the senior most among the disciples of Arya Sudharma Swami. He was seven cubits tall (in Utsedhangul units or standard of fragmentary units of angel or breadth of finger; for details refer to Anuyogadvar), very handsome and radiant. The description of his virtues should be read as those of Sudharma Swami mentioned in Jnata Dharma Kathanga.
He was sitting near and absorbed in worship of Arya Sudharma Swami. At that time a curiosity sparked in his mind. He got up and approached Sudharma Swami. He circumambulated Sudharma Swami three times clockwise, and bowed before him. He sat down neither very far nor very near Sudharma Swami and humbly and respectfully spoke
2] Meaning - "Bhante! If this is the text and meaning of the tenth Anga named PrashnaVyakaran as given by Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir, who has attained Siddhastate, what is text and meaning of eleventh Anga, VipaakShrut, as given by him?"
Sudharma Swami said to ascetic Jambu—' Jambu! Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir, who has attained liberation, has preached the eleventh Anga in two parts-(1) Duhkha-vipaak (fruits of bad or ignoble karmas) and (2) Sukha-vipaak (fruits of good or noble karmas).
Jambu- "Bhante! When Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir, who has attained liberation, has preached the eleventh Anga in two parts, Duhkha-vipaak and Sukha-vipaak, then according to him how many chapters are there in the first part titled Duhkha-vipaak?"
"Jambu ! Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir, who is the first propagates of dharma (Aaigare or Aadikar), the religious ford-maker (Titthagare or Tirthankar),... and so on up to... who has attained liberation has preached ten chapters of Duhkha-vipaak. They are
[3] Meaning- (1) Mrigaputra, (2) Ujjhitak, (3) Abhagnasen, (4) Shakat, (5) Brihaspati, (6) Nandivardhan, (7) Umbardatt, (8) Shaurik Datt, (9) Devadatta, and (10) Anju".
[4] Meaning- Bhante ! When Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir, the first propagater of dharma, the Tirthankar, and who has attained liberation, has preached ten chapters of Duhkha-vipaak from Mrigaputra to Anju, then what is the text and meaning of the first chapter of Duhkha-vipaak?
Arya Sudharma replied-Jambu! During that period of time there was a town named Mrugagram (the details should be read from the description of city mentioned in Aupapatik Sutra). In north-eastern direction (Ishan Kone) outside this towr, was a garden named Chandanapadap having trees bearing all season flowers and fruits. In that garden there was an ancient temple of Sudharma Yaksh. The details of this should be read from the description of Purnabhadra Yaksh temple (Aupapatik Sutra).
Commentary—in this Agam the word Wannao' has been mainly used in four instances—with description of a city, garden, king, and queen. This is a style traditionally accepted in Jain Agams that when complete details of some garden, city, king, queen, or practicing ascetic have been narrated in one particular Agam, it is not generally repeated elsewhere. Instead, using the term Tannao' (varnan or description) it is advised to read the description from that specific Agam. Thus wherever Vannao' is mentioned it should taken as an indication to read the description of a city, garden, king, and queen from Aupapatik Sutra. Like Vannao' the term 'Java' is also used to indicate to read description from some other place. In place of Vannao we will use the word description in parenthesis.
