Dawn of Omojscience The long period of twelve years of penance was pearing completion. The saint came near a village pamed Shrimbhaka, situated on the bank of a river called Rijukula. It was the month of Vaisha. kha, probably, May, and the tenth day of the bright half of the month. Mahavira developed his mental attitude of auspicious-concentration (Dharma Dhyan) to pure-concentration (Shukla Dhyan ). This supreme type of concentration brought about the destruction of Mobaniya karma (deludiog karma ) along with knowledge-covering, perception-covering and obstructive karmas. Omniscience
Now Saint Mahavira becomes omniscient God possessed of infinite power, infinite bliss and infinite intution or conation. The tree of austerities and penances has now borne the desired fruit. Now the Lord is fully equipped and qualified to deliver ennobling sermons to the benighted and bewildered world on the true path of salvation and everlasting rectitude. Confirmation
It is interesting to note that Buddhist scripture Majhama Nikaya says that "Niganth Nataputta i. e, Mahavira had become omniscient. He comprehen. ded all things and had got universal conation"
