pāla refer to the subject : vide M. D. Desai, Short History of Jaina Literature, V.S. 1989, paras. 313, 324, 385, 456, 527,
Note 374. 14. According to most sources, this happened in the 7th of the
above mentioned nine pre-existences of Muni Suvrata. 15. On this point, the several sources greatly differ from one ano
ther. According to Hemacandra, e.g., this death occurred in the
same existence in which the stallion was the friend of the Lord. 16. The Prabhāvaka-carita has 2000 yojana'. 17. Hemacandra omits the Aśvamedha, relating that the stallion
was the mount of King Jitaśatru of Broach, and mere chance
took it into the Samavasaraņa, and the Lord to Broach. 18. According to the Vividha-tīrtha-kalpa and the Upadeśa-prā
sāda, the god decorated the temple with temple with statues of
Muni Suvarata and of the horse. 19. The pre-existences of the bird are dwelt upon with great length
in some sources. 20. “Namo Arihaṁtānam, namo Siddhānam, namo Āyariyāṇam,
namo Uvajjhāyāṇaḥ, namo loe Savva-sāhūņam ! Eso Pascanamukkāro savvapāvappaņāsaņo, mamgalāņam ca savvesim
padhamam havai mamgalam'. 21. According to the Prabhāvaka-carita 18. 22. This belief is particularly dwelt upon in the Prabhāvaka-carita. 23. Loc. cit. Adhikāra I, Upadeśa. 24, p. 23 :

मीनो मीनवरानमस्कृतिपरो जातिस्मृतेः स्वर्ययौ । 24. Similar to the application of these names in the Prabhāvaka
