In that period, in that age lived the Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian^[1], four important moments of whose life happened when the moon was in conjunction with the asterism Uttar膩峁Ｄ佱笉h膩; the fifth, when in conjunction with Abhijit: (204) in Uttar膩峁Ｄ佱笉h膩 he descended from heaven, &c. (all down to) in Abhijit he obtained final liberation. (205)

In that period, in that age, in the fourth month of summer, in the seventh fortnight, the dark (fortnight) of A峁Ｄ佱笉ha, on its fourth day, the Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, descended from the great 痴颈尘腻苍补 called 厂补谤惫腻谤迟丑补蝉颈诲诲丑补, where he had lived for thirty-three 厂腻驳补谤辞辫补尘补蝉, here on the continent 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补, in 叠丑补谤补迟补惫补谤峁�a, in Ik峁�v膩kubh奴mi, and in the middle of the night, &c., he took the form of an embryo in the womb of 惭补谤耻诲别惫墨, wife of the patriarch^[2] 狈腻产丑颈. (206)

The knowledge of the Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补 about this, &c. (all as in the case of 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补, but note the following differences: the first dream is a bull 鈥榗oming forward with his face,鈥� the other (mothers of 罢墨谤迟丑补办补谤补蝉 see first) an elephant. She (惭补谤耻诲别惫墨) relates them to 狈腻产丑颈, the patriarch; there are no interpreters of dreams; 狈腻产丑颈, the patriarch, himself interprets them). (207)

In that period, in that age the Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian,--in the first month of summer, in the first fortnight, the dark (fortnight) of Caitra, on its eighth day, &c.,--(惭补谤耻诲别惫墨), perfectly healthy herself, gave birth to a perfectly healthy boy. (208)

(The circumstances connected with the birth of 峁氠梗补产丑补 are the same as in the case of that of 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补, only that the contents of 搂搂 100 and 101 do not apply to the present case.) (209)

The Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, belonged to the K膩艣yapa gotra, and he had five names: 峁氠梗补产丑补, First King, First Mendicant, First Jina, and First 罢墨谤迟丑补办补谤补. (210)

The Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, clever, with the aspirations of a clever man, of great beauty, controlling (his senses), lucky, and modest, lived two millions of former years^[3] as a prince, and six millions three hundred thousand former years as a king. During his reign he taught, for the benefit of the people, the seventy-two sciences, of which writing is the first, arithmetic the most important, and the knowledge of omens the last, the sixty-four accomplishments of women, the hundred arts, and the three occupations of men^[4]. At last he anointed his hundred sons as kings, and gave each a kingdom. Then the Lauk膩ntika god, following the established custom, &c. (see 搂搂 110-112, down to) indigent persons. In the first month of summer, in the first fortnight, the dark (fortnight) of Caitra, on its eighth day, in the latter part of the day, riding in his palankin called Sudarsan膩, followed on his way by a train of gods, men, and Asuras, &c. (峁氠梗补产丑补) went right through the town 痴颈苍墨迟腻 to the park called 厂颈诲诲丑腻谤迟丑补 Vana, and proceeded to the excellent tree 础艣辞办补. There, &c. (see 搂 116, down to) four handfuls. When the moon was in conjunction with the asterism A峁Ｄ佱笉h膩, he, after fasting two and a half days without drinking water, put on a divine robe, and together with four thousand of high, noble, royal persons, and 碍峁�a迟谤颈测补蝉, he tore out his hair, and leaving the house entered the state of houselessness. (211)

The Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, for one thousand years neglected his body, &c. (see 搂搂 1 I7-120, down to) meditated upon himself for one thousand years. Thereupon--it was in the fourth month of winter, the seventh fortnight, the dark (fortnight) of Ph膩lguna, on its eleventh day, in the early part of the day, when the moon was in conjunction with the asterism A峁Ｄ佱笉h膩, outside of the town 笔耻谤颈尘补迟腻濒补, in the park called 艢补办补峁璦尘耻办丑补, under the excellent tree Nyagrodha--(峁氠梗补产丑补) after fasting three and a half days without drinking water, being engaged in deep meditation, reached the infinite, &c. (see 搂 120, down to) highest knowledge and intuition called Kevala, &c. (see 搂 121, down to) moment. (212) The Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, had eighty-four 骋补峁嘺蝉 and eighty-four 骋补峁嘺诲丑补谤补蝉. (213)

The Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, had an excellent community of eighty-four thousand 艢谤补尘补峁嘺蝉 with 峁氠梗补产丑补sena at their head; (214) three hundred thousand nuns with Brahm墨sundar墨 at their head; (215) three hundred and five thousand lay votaries with 艢谤别测腻峁僺补 at their head; (216) five hundred and fifty-four thousand female lay votaries with 厂耻产丑补诲谤腻 at their head; (217) four thousand seven hundred and fifty sages who knew the fourteen 笔奴谤惫补蝉, &c.; (218) nine thousand sages who were possessed of the Avadhi knowledge; (219) twenty thousand Kevalins; (220) twenty thousand six hundred sages who could transform themselves; (221) twelve thousand six hundred and fifty sages of vast intellect, &c.; (222) twelve thousand six hundred and fifty professors; (223) twenty thousand male and forty thousand female disciples who had reached perfection; (224) twenty-two thousand nine hundred sages in their last birth, &c. (225)

The Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, instituted, &c. (see 搂 146, down to) the former ended after numberless generations, the latter from the next 惭耻丑奴谤迟补 after his Kevaliship. (226)

In that period, in that age the Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, lived two millions of former years as a prince, six millions three hundred thousand former years as a king, together eight millions three hundred thousand former years as a householder; a thousand (former) years in a state inferior to perfection, nine-and-ninety thousand former years as a Kevalin, together a hundred thousand former years as a 艢谤补尘补峁嘺, and eight millions four hundred thousand years on the whole. When his fourfold Karman was exhausted, and in this 础惫补蝉补谤辫颈峁嚹� era the Su峁�amadu岣�sham膩 period had nearly elapsed, only three years and eight and a half months being left, in the third month of winter, in the fifth fortnight, the dark (fortnight) of 惭腻驳丑补, on its thirteenth day, in the early part of the day when the moon was in conjunction with the asterism Abhijit, (峁氠梗补产丑补), after fasting six and a half days without drinking water, on the summit of mount 础峁ａ弓腻辫补诲补, in the company of ten thousand monks in the Samparya峁卥a position, died, &c. (all down to) freed from all pains. (227)

Since the time that the Arhat 峁氠梗补产丑补, the Ko艣alian, died, &c. (all down to) freed from all pains, three years and eight and a half months elapsed; thereupon one 办辞峁璱 of 办辞峁璱s of 厂腻驳补谤辞辫补尘补蝉, less forty-two thousand and three years and eight and a half months, elapsed. At that time the Venerable Ascetic 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补 died; after his 狈颈谤惫腻峁嘺 nine centuries elapsed, of the tenth century this is the eightieth year.

The arts, as those of the potter, blacksmith, painter, weaver, and barber, each of which five principal arts is subdivided into twenty branches, are inventions and must be taught; while the occupations, agriculture, trade, &c. have everywhere developed, as it were, of themselves. The accomplishments of women are dancing, singing, &c. The commentator adds to these a detailed list of those questionable accomplishments which V膩tsy膩yana has so curiously described, and refers the reader to the Jayama峁単ala for further details. The latter work, a still extant commentary on the p. 283 碍腻尘补 厂奴迟谤补, must therefore be older than 1307, the date of Jinaprabhamuni鈥檚 commentary on the Kalpa 厂奴迟谤补.
