Begins the story of Srutahani upto Duppasaha (693) - Viccheda of Kevali in V.N. 64 with the death of Jambu (698), Viccheda of Manaparyaya etc. (695), Viccheda of Caturdasapurva at time of Sthulabhadra in V. N. 170 (697). The question regarding the Viccheda (698-). The birth of Mahavira when there remained 74 years and 8 months for the end of fourth Araka and his death accured when 3 years 8 months and 15 days remained for the end of the same (704-5). Sudharma Jambu, Prabhava Sayyambhava Jasabhadda, Sambhuto, Bhaddbahu (707-), due to anavrsti monks had to leave tha Magadha (712), after returniug back
ते बिति एक्कमेकं सज्झाओ कस्स केत्तिो धरति । हदि दुठ्ठकालेणं अम्हं नठ्ठो उ सज्झायो ।।७१७।। जं जस्स धरई कंठे ते ते परियट्रिऊण सव्वेसि । तो रोहिं पिंडिताइ तहियं एक्कारसंगाई ।।७१८।।
Some of the monks go to Bhaddabahu and say to him on behalf of Sangha
तं अज्जकालियजिणो वीरसंघो तं जायए सव्वो ।
पुव्वसुयक (ध)म्मधारय पुवाणं वायरणं देहि ।।७२३।। but as he was not ready to give Vacana was asked by the monks as to what will be the danda proper for you for such behaviour (724-6). He replies:
सो भणति एव मरिगए अविसन्नो वीरवयण नियमेण ।
वज्जेयव्वो सुयनिण्हो त्ति अह सव्वसाहूहिं ॥७२७।। then the monks say to him
तं एवं जाणमारणो नेच्छसि नो पाडिपुच्छियं दाउ । तं थाणं पत्तं ते कह तं पासे ठवेहामो ॥७२८।। बारसविहसंभोगो वज्जए तो तयं समरणसंघो । जं ने जाईज्जतो न वि इच्छसि वायणं दाउ ॥७२६।।
on this he agrees to give Vacana (730), so more than 500 monks go to him, one of them being Sthulabhadra who only remains with him upto the end (738-), as he learns the 11th purva, his seven sisters come to him and a miracle is performed by him (749--) and knowing this Bhadrabhahu informs him to discontinue the further vacana. But on his request he gives him vacana of the rest (764-). Story of previous life of Sthulabhadra (772-), Bhadrabhahu though gives Vacana of the last four purvas to him he is not permitted to teach them to others; so, after him only ten Purvas remain (797-)
एतेण कारणेणं उ पुरिसजुगे अठ्ठमम्मि वीरस्स । सयराहेण पणट्टाइ जाण चत्तारि पुवाई ॥७६८।।
