In this sequence, there came 12 Chakravartis and 9 Vasudevas. Chakki means a Chakravarti and Hari / Keshava means Vasudeva.
Haribhadrasuri was a scholar of Sanskrit, while this gatha was in Prakrit. As such he could not understand it. But when he did understand, it was his word to his self, of which nobody else was aware, that compelled him to become the disciple of that Sadhviji. He fell at her feet and requested, "O Aryaji! Please accept me as your disciple! It was my vow that I would become a disciple of that person whose words I could not understand".
Sadhviji said to him, "O Noble Man! I am a sadhvi. I cannot accept a man as my disciple. You may go to my Guru Acharya Bhagwant who is also stationed here." And Haribhadrasuri went to Acharya Bhagwant and became his disciple. He accepted all the vows of a Jain Sadhu, but he never forgot his first submission at the feet of the Sadhvi and her benevolence. Not just that, the Sadhvi's name was Yakini and in those days Sadhvis were called Mahattaras; after Haribhadrasuri took the diksha, wherever he wrote his name, he wrote it as Yakini Mahattara Sunu - where Sunu means a son. Among the greatest Acharyas from our history, but he never forgot his debt. He did not forget the person who had demolished his ego. He has compiled 1,444 texts and all carry his name as Yakini Mahattara Sunu.
Brothers! Be it Chandakaushik Serpent, Indrabhuti Gautam or Haribhadrasuri, their upadana was prepared and with the proper motivation, they could demolish their anger etc. They managed to remove the affected dispositions which were bothering them from infinite time. Therefore, the proverb in our tradition which says that 'Life and nature go together' is a very wrong notion. Many lowly and sinful jivas too have managed to transform their nature. The irritable became forgiving; the egoistic became humble, the extremely violent became the advocates of non-violence, the materialistic became the monument of
