________________ A 312 321531535 4 ascetic got up and greeted him humbly and respectfully. He then 4 replaced all the belongings of the ascetics at their proper places. Some days later acharya Simhagiri left for other places for some 45 days. While leaving he gave the responsibility of giving reading of the Angas to ascetic Vajra. The child ascetic explained even the most 4 subtle and difficult topics from Agams in such a simple and easily 51 understandable style that even comparatively dull ascetics faced hardly any difficulty in grasping the meaning. With the help of the letailed explanations of the scriptures he even removed doubts of the 41 ascetics in their previously learned lessons. All the ascetics developed a very high degree of respect for him and they continued to get their lessons from him with due modesty. " When acharya Simhagiri returned, the ascetics requested— "Gurudev, ascetic Vajra's style of giving lessons of the Agams is extremely good. Please entrust him with this responsibility F permanently." The acharya was happy and contented to hear this. He 4 said—“I am pleased to know about the feelings of goodwill and 4 9 affection for ascetic Vajra. Only to acquaint you with his ability and 41 expertise I had given this task to him and left on my tour.” And then, realizing that without formally getting knowledge from a guru no one 4 can be appointed a teacher of the Agams, acharya Simhagiri himself Hi gave all his knowledge to ascetic Vajra. 5. During his wanderings from one village to other, acharya 5 Simhagiri once came to Dashpur city. At that time acharya 46 Bhadragupta, due to his old age, had abandoned his itinerant way and was residing permanently in Avanti city. Acharya Simhagiri sent ascetic Vajra and two other disciples for studies under acharya Bhadragupta. With all humbleness ascetic Vajra served his new guru and acquired the knowledge of ten Purvas. When acharya Simhagiri i found that his end was near he installed ascetic Vajra to the position of acharya. i Acharya Vajra wandered around a large area for a long time and Yi with the help of his impressive personality, endless scriptural knowledge and many special powers, worked successfully for an extensive spread of religion. All this became possible with the help of 55 his parinamiki buddhi. 15 15 Hazirat ( vifufua gros) (RUS) Mati-jnana (Parinamiki Buddhi) 45 04454545454545454545451 451 450 451 4545454545454541 41 41 4155595 $14141414141 经听听听听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听听 Assf听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听F5F56 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
