Wandering for three months as mendicant Candraprabha reached Sahasr mravana. There he went into a deep meditative state under the Priyamgu tree. On the 7th day of the dark fortnight of the F lguna month, destroying four obscuringkarmas including knowledge deluding, he attained poure intuition and pure knowledge. Then in a large gathering of gods and men gave a sermon about ruta and caritra dharma (scripture and conduct) and re-established the four-fold order. Remaining omniscient for a little less than 1 lakh p rvas the Lord blessed all beings.
His congregation had 93 ga as and Ga adharas, 10000 omniscient. 8000 telepaths, 8000 clairvoyants, 2000 14-p rvadh rs, 14000 vaikriyalabdhidh rs, 7600 V ds, 250000 monks, 380000 female-monks, 250000 votaries and 491000 female-votaries.
When the Lord saw his end approaching, he fasted for a month on Sammeta ikhara along with 1000 monks and in unobstructed meditation (state of inactivity or 14th gu asth na) he destroyed the remaining four non obscuring karmas and on the 7th day of the dark fortnight of Bh drapada under Anur dh constellation, he attained enlightenment and nirva.
His age was 10 lakh p rvas out of which he spent two-and-a-half lakh p rvas as prince, three-and-a-half lakh p rvas as king, and a little less than 1 lakh p rvas as mendicant before attaining liberation.
