________________ केशीकुमार श्रमण - " उसकी बात क्यों नहीं मानोगे ?" प्रदेशी - "क्योकि हे भदन्त ! वह पुरुष बहुत बडा अपराधी है ।" REASON FOR NOT COMING FROM HELL 245. (a) After hearing the arguments of king Pradeshi, Keshi Kumar Shraman replied "O Pradeshi! Is the name of your queen Suryakanta ?" Pradeshi replied--"Yes Sir !" Keshi Kumar Shraman said-"O Pradeshi! Imagine that you see your queen Suryakanta after having taken bath, having decorated herself with auspicious symbols and having worn clothes and ornaments. She is having sex with another person who has taken bath, who has such symbols and who is properly dressed and having ornaments decorating has body. They are enjoying pleasures of all the five senses. O Pradeshi ! What punishment shall you impose for that person ?" Pradeshi replied-"I shall cut the hands of that person. I shall hang him on their scaffold. I shall pierce him with spears. I shall cut his feet. I shall make him lifeless in one stroke. I shall kill him." After hearing the reply of king Pradeshi, Keshi Kumar Shraman said "O Pradeshi! In case that person requests you-'O Master! Kindly delay the execution of punishment for one ghari (24 minutes). Please do not cut my hands upto do not make me lifeless. Kindly do not kill me till then, so that I may see my friends, members of my family, my son, my relatives and my known persons and tell them that I am undergoing punishment for my such sinful deeds. I may advise them not to do such sins so that they may also have to undergo such punishment, as I am undergoing.' At that time-O Pradeshi! Shall you accept his place for a moment and release him." Pradeshi replied "Reverend Sir! I shall not grant his request." Keshi Kumar Shraman then said "Why shall you not grant his request ?" King Pradeshi replied "Reverend Sir! It is because that person has committed an extremely heinous crime." शीकुमार श्रमण और प्रदेशी राजा Jain Education International (321) Keshi Kumar Shraman and King Pradeshi For Private Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
