In spite of the eternal settlement of Yogas in yourself, you have remained absolutely unconcerned as if they are not present, which is the height of your awareness and therefore the scholars have rightly defined you as VIDITYOGA. Samavasarana is the place occupied by Tirthankara for his preaching. Tirthankara faces eastern direction while addressing the disciples and listeners. Devas in their act of overwhelming devotion, create your divine images in all other directions as well. So you are known as ANEKA. God! Scholars could not find out any other similar personality like yours and therefore they say. you are the only one, only one and only one.... You are unparalleled, UNIQUE Oh my God!

The earth and trees were clothed in green leaves. King Jitshatru sent his 36 queens and their maidservants to play in the forest. In the pond of lovely and uninhabitated forest bath (ing) was organized. The queens wearing transparently. thin and beautiful clothes jumped into the pond. The king and the queens were engaged in the water play for hours. The queen's thin and wet clothes were changing to their bodies. The king. was very pleased to see their enchanting forms. History is witness to many saints, ascetics who dwindled from their holy path because beautiful woman stole their hearts and put off the kindled lamp (light). So why wouldn't the king lose his discrimination seeing the half naked enchanting forms of his 36 queens? He ordered for song and dance. The minds started playing instruments and the queens started dancing. After the dance the tired queens were returning but the lord of the forest could not tolerate this pride of the queens. His angry look made all the queens go
