JAIN RAMAYAN
Sitendra tried to lift them again and again and all his efforts were in vain. Then Lakshman's jiva said in anguish.
"O you compassionate one! When you lift us up, our agnoy increases. We experience great pain, and anguish. Therefore, kindly leave us here and return to heaven.”
Bitterly disappointed Sitendra returned to the Kevaljnani, Shri Rambhadra; saluted him with a devout heart and set off towards the Nandeeshwar dweep.
On the way, he arrived at an area called Devakuru. Naturally Sitendra remembered his brother Bhamandal. At that time, Bhamandal was living in Devakuru. Sitendra met him; delivered a discourse to him and brought about spiritual awakening in him. After all, both had in them the attachment of their earlier janma as brother and sister. Later, Sitendra having visited the magnificent temples on the Nandishwar dweep set off towards the twelfth heavenly world called Achyut.
Shri Ramachandra, after attaining Kevaljnan kept travelling on foot from place to place for nearly fifty years helping and guiding countless jivas to cross the ocean of samsar. He also helped countless animals and birds to attain moksha. After destroying all his karmas. Shri Rambhadra attained Moksha.
Shri Ramabhadra attained permanent, ineffable and eternal felicity and spiritual serenity.
