A Baldev's mother sees four great dreams. He has the strength of a million octopeds. Four thousand gods are in his attendance. His weapons, including mace and plough are blessed by a thousand gods each. Because of their mutual affection. Baldev and V sudev rule jointly. After the death of the Vasudev, Baldev becomes an ascetic and indulges in spiritual practices. Some of them are liberated and others are reincarnated in dimensions of gods. सम्भव Vasudev-A Vasudev in his earlier births sheds some specific Karmas and determines to acquire this status. His soul then incarnates either in the heaven or the hell and then is born as Vasudev. At the time of his conception his mother sees seven great dreams. His complexion is dark. He has the strength equivalent to 2 million octopeds and he conquers three continents by killing the Prativasudev. He has 16,000 kingdoms and kings under his subjugation and 8,000 gods in his attendance. He has 16,000 queens and seven gems. Prativasudev-They also determine their status in their earlier births and are monarchs of three continents. Their powers are slightly lower than that of the Vasudevs. They are necessarily killed by the Vasudevs and go to hell. विमल The maximum and minimum numbers of Baldev, Vasudev and Prativasudev are 108 and 20. It is believed that as Tirthankar does not meet another Tirthankar, a Chakravarti and a Vasudev also do not meet another Chakravarti and Vasudev respectively. Also a Vasudev does not meet a Chakravarti. Sudharm Suprabh Sudarshan Nandi Nandimitra Datta Ram Narayan (Laxman) 9.
