(Song) "PACHISASO BARSON PAHLE..." Queen Mother Trishaladevi, wife of king Siddhartha of the Licchvi Vamsha, is soon to give birth to this great soul. Earlier she had witnessed 14 or 16 great and symbolic dreams.
This divine, compassionate soul, endowed with the Mati, Shruta and Avadhi Jnanas, cares for its mother's well-being even when in the womb. On the completion of 9 months and 742 days on the 13th day of the Chaitra month, even as the moon sheds its soothing light on the mortal land, this soul takes human form, with the aim of immersing itself in Shukla Dhyana, meditation of the soul and the Self.
The celebration of Prince Vardhaman's birth is spread far and wide-on Mount Meru the Gods and on the earth King Siddhartha and his subjects .......
" OR Å Sa a t...."
(Song) "GHAR GHAR MEIN ANAND HAI CHHAYA" This great event has added to the well-being of all. Happiness descends everywhere but the greatest joy is that of mother Trishala in caring for her son........

(Song) "BAL KO KARTI PYAR-DULAR MAA" After Vardhaman's birth, the royal family sees a tremendous increase in its wealth. He soon enters school and gets the name "Mahavir" due to his superhuman feats of courage -

"ROOP PISHACH KA..." Thus childhood passed into adolescence and soon comes the youth. Mahavir's soul is above worldly attachments, but a few karmas, duties still remain to be fulfilled - these include his religious duty towards his parents and marriage to Yashoda......
...... And prince Vardhaman Mahavir weds Yashoda. Though according to another version, he remains unmarried. But even as a Prosperous householder, Vardhaman remains detached, much in accordance with life's ideal. Just as the lotus
