King Uditodaya told him about his problem and asked for 45 41 some way to avoid the impending man slaughter. The god was 11 impressed by the king's compassion and he at once moved the city to a distant area with his divine power. Next morning when king Dharmaruchi got up he was astonished to see that Purimtal city had disappeared from the area of siege. With disappointment he retreated and a terrible man slaughter was avoided. 6. The monk and Nandisen-Emperor Shrenik of Rajagriha had a son named Nandishen. When he got matured king Shrenik married him to many beautiful and virtuous princesses. Wandering from one village to another, once Bhagavan Mahavir 4 came to Rajagriha. King Shrenik went with his family to pay homage to Bhagavan Mahavir. Nandishen and his wives were also in the 25 group. When he listened to the discourse of Bhagavan Mahavir a 45 feeling of detachment arose in him. After seeking permission from his parents he got initiated into the religious order. Intelligent ! Nandishen soon absorbed all the knowledge of Angas with the help of his teachers and started preaching to contribute to the spread of religion. A few days later he sought permission from Bhagavan Mahavir and left Rajagriha. For a long time he continued his itinerant way. One day ascetic Nandishen felt that one of his disciples was attracted towards mundane comforts. After due consideration he decided to go to Rajagriha. When king Shrenik was informed of his arrival he was 55 much pleased and came to pay homage to the ascetic. All the members of his family came with him and that included the former wives of ascetic Nandishen. When the wavering disciple of Nandishen saw the astonishingly beautiful former wives of his guru he got awakened and was filled with self reproach. He thought-"My guru has become ascetic after renouncing royal grandeur and divinely beautiful wives, and is following the codes of conduct with absolute sincerity. And I am wavering under the attraction of ordinary mundane life, insignificant 46 in comparison. Curse me, who is ready to eat again what I vomited. Si This deeply agitated state of mind inspired him to do atonement and be firm on the spiritual path. sssssss 听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听F听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 卐 मतिज्ञान (परिणामिकी बद्धि) 全听听听听听听听听听听听听 (246) Mati jnana (Parinamiki Buddhi) 51 F%% %%%%%牙牙牙乐历写写写写写 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
