VipakShrut- Ang-11- ShrutSkandh-2, Chapter 10 by Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir ?" Sudharma Swami replied--) Jambu! During that period of time there was a city named Saket. It had a garden named Uttarakuru. In that garden was a temple of Paashamriga Yaksh. That city was ruled by king Mitranandi. His queen was Shrikanta. They had a son named Varadatt Kumar. He was married to five hundred girls, chief among them being Varasena. Bhagavan Mahavir arrived. Prince Varadatt accepted Shravak Dharma (householder's code). On being asked by Gautam about his past birth, Bhagavan Mahavir replied-- (In past birth) There was a city named Shatadvar. King Vimalavahan ruled there. He saw ascetic Dharmaruchi coming and with great devotion he offered faultless food as alms to the ascetic. As a consequence acquired Ayushya karma (life span determining karma) to be a human being. Completing his life span there, he has reincarnated as Varadatt the son of King Mitranandi and queen Shrikanta. Remaining details should be read as those about Subahu Kumar. Like-After Bhagavan's departure he went to paushadhashala and observed fasts. Considered those who got initiated in presence of Bhagavan to be lucky. Resolved to get initiated when Bhagavan visited again. All thesedetails are similar both for Subahu Kumar and Varadatt Kumar. Then after getting initiated and observing ascetic code he will move alternatively from human dimension to divine dimension and so on. Then like Subahu Kumar he will take rebirth in Mahavideh area and at last will become Siddha (perfect), Buddha (enlightened), Mukta (liberated) and attain nirvana ending all misery like Dradhpratijna. Sudharma Swami concluded, Jambu Bhagavan Mahavir, who has attained nirvana, has narrated this text and meaning of tenth chapter of Sukha-vipaak. So I state. Jambu-"Bhante! What you say is, indeed, true. What you said is a fact." Chapter -10- Compiled by Muni DeepratnaSagar is finished O Meaning- Duhkha-vipaak has ten chapters that are to be finished in ten days. Same is true for Sukha-vipaak; remaining details should be read as in AcharangaSutra.
