CANDRAPRABHACARITRA
His mokṣa (116-123)
When the Master had wandered as a kevalin for a lac of purvas less twenty-four angas and three months, he went to Mt. Sammeta. Together with a thousand munis the Lord undertook a fast and attended by gods and asuras, continued in this state for a month. Engaged in immovable meditation with suppression of all activity, the four karmas prolonging existence having been destroyed instantly, on the seventh day of the black half of Nabha, the moon being in conjunction with Śravana, the Master and the munis went to the final abode.
323
As prince he lived two and a half lacs of pūrvas; as king, six and a half lacs of purvas plus twenty-four aǹgas; in the vow he passed a lac of purvas less twenty-four angas. So the total age of Lord Candraprabha was ten lacs of purvas. The nirvana of Sri Candraprabha took place nine hundred crores of sagaras after Supārsva Svāmin's nirvāņa.

The Indras performed properly the funeral rites of the Lord, who had attained emancipation as described, and of the munis, and returned to heaven.
