Tirthankar offered his obeisance. After that he went to the discourse with his family. When he saw gods from close. in the Samavasaran (religious assembly of Tirthankar) he thought - It seems that I have seen these gods somewhere?'
When he pondered deeply he acquired Jatismaran-jnana. He recalled his past births — 'Oh! I had practiced kayotsarg meditation in my earlier birth. As a consequence of that I reincarnated first as a god and then acquired the status of Chakravarti here. Whatever I have got here is the consequence of the noble deeds done during the past births. Now if I do not indulge in noble deeds, including various spiritual practices, during this birth I will have a bad destiny due to craving for worldly pleasures.
CONVICTUUUUUUUU
