The daughter of Patna Naresh, named Sur Sundari, Gagan Chumbi was sitting on the 7th floor of their Palace; playing with her friends. Her daughter was so amusing that it attracted even those who were walking on the road down below. Though the people kept walking on; their eyes were drawn towards the Princess. It was not only their eyes, infact the whole society was tempted by her. While the living moves towards heaven they are allured by the worldly things, and are badly caught up below. Whenever we look down from a higher sphere things below seem too tiny except our selfishness gets magnified and imagines the whole world as nothing except SELF who alone is great & big. Rajkumari Sur Sundari was someone like that. Because of her beauty and youth feluness she was caught up with evil passions. With that attitude she spat out the pan she was eating, on Sadhu Digambar who was walking around the palace. But the great soul Digambar was in no way affected by her pride, but Sur Sundari was the loser; because when one loses his/her character, everything is lost for them. One who lives in the palace with her ear-rings, nose rings and bracelets and covered with all types ornaments, is absolutely ignorant of the troubles in the world. And one who enjoys the pleasures of the world is unable to understand the greatness of a saint who has given up everything of the world and lives an austere life. "How can the bubbles of the water take pride in itself ? It is totally ignorant of the shortness of its existence. How can the perishable beauty survive for long in this fragile world ? How long can Powder, sent or all cosmetics keep on ? or the Derishable bodies last? As one advances in age, all the beauty of their youth fades and wrinkles start growing.So Sur Sundari too did not take long to realize the sins she committed by spitting on an Sadhu Digambar as she began to grow ugly.
The present age is so caught up with the vanishing Pleasures of this world and to days generation is ignorant of the present reality, the past sinfulness and has no thought of theinfuture "Yesterday's evil deeds have brought down the misfortunes of today. Now Sur Sundari has because so ugly, the same world allured by her, started hating her and she has become a laughing stock of the world. ONE WHO SPAT ON OTHERS IS RECEIVING the SPITTLE OF THE whole world. This is the play of our every deed because of the misdeeds of humanity the whole environment is changing rapidly. This life is a rotation of light and darkness, joy and sadness, healing and ailments, bondage and FREEDOM. Hence, the need for us to work. Though Patna Naresh had taken all the possible means to change the unfortunate situation of his only daughter to a fortunate state he could do nothing. But "when the time comes everything turns according to law”. Only ONE can change, ever wrong into right and that is God. Raja Patna Naresh met the Jain Saint Digambar, an ocean of mercy & goodness. He called for a bowl of water as is written in the 36th slogan of Mahaprabhak Bhaktavan. He prayed over the bowl of water and told the Raja to "Put it into a pond. If Sur Sundari bathes continuously for 36 days she will be relieved of all her pain and agony. “But you must promise that when she is OK you will stop keeping her in your bond of love, and she will be able to win the whole world with her austerity of life". "This devoted Virgin will be called for greater beauty, will be glorified & welcomed to become moved more beautiful. Dharivahan fell at the feet of munishri and said "Maharajsree" It will happen and when the time comes she will go to the Arthickmata and learn.
