Jambū-jyoti
29. Time (kāla) is not a dravya. (88-92)
30. Mahāvīra shook Mount Meru (with his toe) at the time of his
janmakalyānaka. (93-94) 31. The ganadhara of Jina Munisuvrata was not a horse, contrary to what
the Digambaras have alleged. (The true story is that a horse, a friend of the Jina in a former life, at the time of his death, received the teachings from him. He was reborn in heaven and he established an image of that Jina at Bhrgukaccha. That place came to be called Aśvaavabodha). (95 102)
32. The pañca namaskāra mantra consists of sixty-eight syllables. (This
item is not found in the Digambara list.] (103-107) 33. The Tīrthankara teaches in Ardhamāgadhī. (108-109) 34. In the heavens the gods worship the jawbone of
the Tirthankaras. (110) 35. One can attain moksa even if born in low families. (111-114) 36. There was the transfer of the embryo of Mahāvīra. (115)
37. The transfer of embryo does not result in Mahāvīra having two fathers.
(116-121)
38. Bāhubali having attained kevalajñāna performed circumambulation
(pradaksiņā) to the Jina Rsabha, a proper thing to do. (122-123) 39. Mahāvīra sneezed. (124)
40. The bringing of the yugaliyas to Mathurā from Harivarsa to establish
the Harivamsa is a form of acherā. Such things do happen once in a while in the infinite time cycle. (125-129)
41. Camara arrived in the heavenly abode called Saudharma. (130)
42. Mahāvīra did wander in the non-aryan regions. (131)
43. Gods may have sexual relations with human females. (131) 44. The first preaching of Mahāvīra took place soon after his attaining
kevalajñāna—and not after a silence of sixty-six days as believed by the Digambaras. (132-136)
