falling, and gathering from it that his fortune was as fickle as the meteor, resolved to renounce the worldly life. Gods arrive on the scene once more and praise him for his resolve. He then placed his son after on the throne, gods gave him a bath, and on the afternoon of the ninth day of the bright half of माघ he performed the केशलोंच and took the दीक्षा. The hair of the monk अजित were picked up by gg in a golden plate and thrown in the stays. One thou sand princes renounced the world with him. In a short time the fourth knowledge, viz., H:9945, was acquired by him. He took the vows with a fast of two days and a half ( Tata). He broke the fast the next day at अयोध्या at the house of king ब्रह्मा, who was graced by five wonders. अजित practised penance for twelve years, and on the 11th day of the bright half of पौष, he secured केवलज्ञान under सप्तच्छद tree. इन्द्र and other gods arrived on the scene, praised him and built a H T . There the Jina sat on a fapt, called
, had with him all the eight siferufs, and then delivered a discourse. He had his to or followers devided into 12 groups, viz., TUTET, gaf , FTET, अवधिज्ञानिन्, केवलिन्, विक्रियाऋद्धिमत्, मनःपर्ययज्ञानिन्, अनुत्तरवादिन्, आर्यिका, श्रावक, श्राविका and देव, देवी, तिर्यञ्च् etc. With such संघ, the Jina wandered on the earth for a period of 53 lacs of gas less by 12 years. He then went to the hafrat, and having lived the life of 72 lacs gas, practised the qfarhts for one month, and attained emancipation on the forenoon of the fifth day of the bright half of 87. Gods worshipped him on this occasion, his body was burnt by 32017RAT, the ashes were respectfully collected by Indra and thrown into क्षीरसमुद्र.
I have given all the details of the life of a here. The same will be repeated almost in the same form with the change of names, dates etc., in the case of all the tits mentioned in this Vol. and therefore will not be described any more. I am giving these details in the tabular form to facilitate understanding.
7. 2a stufe afrafes, we have a v. l. in K, 3772", but is corrected in the Ms. to दाहिण, perhaps on the strength of गुणभद्र's उत्तरपुराण, which reads :
taraf & TATĪ TEHTEYT facut ETT 1-3729er, 48. 3. where 39 means south. 8b affe, by farmers.
8. &a- TH ETT etc. God of love falls into background on account of the beauty of विमलवाहन, and therefore gave up his body and became अनङ्ग.
9. 26 780944743, the mothers of five great vows, viz. the 25 saats, five for each vow. 8a दसणसुद्धिविणउ, the sixteen भावनाs beginning with दर्शनविशुद्धि. For details see तत्वार्थसूत्र VI. 24. These भावनाs enable a soul to secure तीर्थकर नामगोत्र.
