what-90-ever as mine." While he was thus completely engrossed in meditation with an equilibrium of mind, Ganadhara Mahã rāja Indrabhūti Gautama acquired 4 Kéva lam, Perfeot Knowledge,
It is said,
मुक्खमग्गपवण्णाणं सिणेहो बजसिंखला ।
वीरे जीवंतए जाओ, गोअमो जं न केवली ॥ १ ॥
1. Mukkha magga pavaņņāņam siņého vajjasinkhalā; Vire jivantàé jão Goamo jam na Kévali.
1. For persons desirous of acquiring the giua Mukkha magga, the Path of Final Liberation, affection is a bondage of adamant. Because, so long as Vira Parmatma lived, Gautama could not become a Kévalin.
In the morning, Indra and others celebrated the festival of the auspicious occasion of the acquisition of Perfect Knowledge. Here a poet says:
अहंकारोऽपि बोधाय, रागोऽपि गुरुभक्तये । विषादः केवलायाभूत् , चित्रं गौतमप्रभोः ॥ १ ॥
1. Ahamkāro api bodhāya, rāgo api guru bhaktayé; Vishādah Kévalāyābhūt, chitram Gautama prabhoh.
1. The self-conceit of Gañadhara Mahārāja Indrabhūti Gautama (shown at the moment of hearing the mention of another in Sarvagna, Omniscient ) resulted in the acquisition of Right Knowledge; his affection (for Sramaņa Bhagavān Mahāvīra) resulted in faithful devotion towards his Master and his despair (at the moment of hearing the far for Nirvana Final Emancipation of Sramaņa Bhagavān Mahāvīra,) bore fruit in the form of # ha Kévala Gnāna, Perfect Knowledge.
Every thing relating to Gañadhara Bhagavān Shree Gautama · Prabhu is wonderful.
