SUPĀRSVANATHACARITRA
313
Master went to Mt. Sammeta. There the Master of the World, attended by gods and asuras, together with five hundred munis began a fast. At the end of a month, on the seventh day of the black half of Phalguna, the moon being in Mula, the Master and the munis went to an eternal abode.
Śri Supārsva passed five lacs of purvas as prince; fourteen lacs of purvas and twenty purvāngas in governing the earth; and a lac of purvas less twenty pūrvängas in the vow. So his age was twenty lacs of purvas. Supārsva Svämin's nirvana was nine thousand crores of sagaropamas after Sri Padmaprabha's nirvāṇa.
The Indras, Acyuta, etc., celebrated a great emancipation-festival accompanied by the funeral rites of the Master and the munis.
