________________ “The 21 thousand years of the second raka too will end and the third raka, named Du am -Su amawill begin which will be 42 thousand years less of one kod ākođī garas. After three years, eight-and-a-half months of the third raka is over, the first Trthamkara of the utsarpi half cycle will be born. In this raka there will be altogether 23 T rthamkara, 11 cakravart s, 9 baladevas, 9 Vasudevas and 9 prati Vasudevas. In this time, the situation will be same as that of the Du am -Su amaof the avasarpi half cycle. The only difference is that here the situation will be progressively good.” "The fourth r of utsarpi, named Su am -Du amawill be of 2 kod ākodīgaras. The 24thT rthamkara and 12th cakravart will be born at the beginning of this time. After a little more than one crore p rvas is over in this raka, kalpav k a will come into being and Bharata will again become a bhoga (enjoyment) land.” The fifth, Su ama, and the sixth, Su am -Su ama, of the utsarpi , will have conditions similar to the first two r s of the avasarpi half cycle. Combining the six-six rakas of the avasarpi and utsarpi , that is, altogether 20 kod ākodīgaras of the 12 rakas, make one K lacakra." Gautama asked the Lord – “What will be the main events after your nirva?" The Lord replied – “Three years and eight-and-a-half months after I attain mok a the fifth r named duh ama will commence. After 64 years the last keval , Jamb , will attain liberation. At that time manah pasryavaj na, parama avadhij na, pul kalabdhi, h raka ar ra, k apaka re , upa ama re, jinakalpa, parih ra vi uddhi, s k masampar ya, yath khy tacaritra, pure knowledge and muktigamana – all these twelve will be uprooted from Bharata." "After my nirva in my time period until the end of the fifth r there will be 2004 c ryas of the era. The first among them will be rya Sudharm and the last, Duh prasaha." “170 years after my nirva, after c rya Bhadrab hu ascends the heaven, the last four p rvas, symmetrical body, well built bones and muscles, and mah pradhy na will vanish from Bharata." 330
