BHAGAVAN SHEETALNATH सिंह गज The being that was to be Bhagavan Sheetalnath, in his previous bute birth was the king of Susima town in the Pushkarvar island. His name was Padmottar. When his son reached adulthood the religious king gave his kingdom to the son and took Diksha from Tristadha Muni. Vigorous spiritual practices and worship of the pious states as mentioned in the scriptures resulted in his acquiring the Tirthankar-nam-and-gotra-karma. Completing his age he reincarnated as the king of the Pranat dimension of gods. In Bhaddilpur town in the sub-continent of Bharat, ruled king Dridhrath. In the womb of his queen, Nanda, descended the being that was Padmottar, when he completed his age in the dimension of gods. One day due to some strange ailment, king Dridhrath had high fever and acute burning sensation in his body. He did not get any relief even after applying a variety of ointments. Out of anxiety and to comfort the king, the queen put her palm on his body. This mere touch of the queen removed the burning sensation and a feeling of soothing relief swept his body. After this incident the king decided to name the new born as Sheetal (cool/calm). (G/c) Sheetalnath was born on the twelfth day of the dark half of the month of Magh. When he grew older he married at the request of his parents. At the proper time, king Dridhrath coronated him and took Diksha. After a long and successful reign Sheetalnath left his home and became an ascetic. He attained omniscience under a Peepal tree on the fourteenth day of the dark half of the month of Paush. After wandering and preaching for a long time, he came to Sammetshikhar and attained Nirvana on the secona day of the dark half of the month of Vaishakh. वृषभ लक्ष्मी पुष्पमाला ११. भगवान श्रेयांसनाथ चन्द्र सिंहपुर के राजा विष्णुराजा की धर्मशीला रानी थीं विष्णुदेवी। भाद्रपद कृष्णा १२ के मंगलमय दिवस पर माता की रत्नकुक्षि से श्रेयांसकुमार का जन्म हुआ। विष्णुराजा ने वृद्ध अवस्था आई देखकर पुत्र को राज्य सौंपकर दीक्षा ले ली। दीर्घकालीन राज्य करने के पश्चात् श्रेयांसकुमार ने भी दीक्षा ग्रहण की। दो मास छद्मस्थ रहे। आम्र वृक्ष के नीचे ध्यान करते हुए आपको केवलज्ञान की प्राप्ति हुई। चतुर्विध धर्मतीर्थ की स्थापना की। Illustrated Tirthankar Charitra ( ५४ ) सचित्र तीर्थकर चरित्र विमल अनन्त धर्म शान्ति कन्थू अर Jain Education International 2010_03 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
