Part 12: Candraprabha鈥檚 mok峁 (emancipation)
When the Master had wandered as a kevalin for a lac of 辫奴谤惫补蝉 less twenty-four 补峁単补蝉 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 艢rava峁嘺, the Master and the munis went to the final abode.
As prince he lived two and a half lacs of 辫奴谤惫补蝉; as king, six and a half lacs of 辫奴谤惫补蝉 plus twenty-four 补峁単补蝉; in the vow he passed a lac of 辫奴谤惫补蝉 less twenty-four 补峁単补蝉. So the total age of Lord Candraprabha was ten lacs of 辫奴谤惫补蝉. The nirv膩峁嘺 of 艢r墨 Candraprabha took place nine hundred crores of 蝉腻驳补谤补蝉 after 厂耻辫腻谤艣惫补 Sv膩min鈥檚 nirv膩峁嘺.
The Indras performed properly the funeral rites of the Lord, who had attained emancipation as described, and of the munis, and returned to heaven.
