Here mentionable speciality is that name of baby was kept Gautama Kumara. He married eight princesses in one day and he got eight crore gold-coins from his fathers-in-law as dowry (daaya),
At that time, at that period Arahanta Arishthanemiwandering village to village came to Nandana garden of Dwaraka city, religious council (samavasarana) held. Bhavanapati, Vanavyantara, Jyotiska Vaimanika- all the four kinds of gods came to see and bow down to Bhagavana. Vasudeva Shree krushna also came with thousands of people, to see and bow down to him.
Then, Gautamakumara also came out of his palace, for seeing and bowing down to Bhagavana like Meghakumara. Hearing and taking to heart the sermon of Bhagavana, he requested him- Reverend Sir (Devanupriya-beloved of gods) asking permission from my parents, I want to accept consecration near your lotus feet.
Thus, like Meghakumara, Gantamakumara also asked permission from his parents. In the end Gautama kumara accepted consecration with great pomp and show. He accepted five circumspections (Samiti) as circumspection of movement (Iryaa samiti) etc. and three incognitoes (gupti) and began to wander according to the discipline of Bhagavana, i.e., Jain religious monk order.
There after friar (anagara) Gautama learnt Samayika etc., eleven angas from the elder monks of Bhagavana Arishthanemi. After it observing many types of fast penances, like one day's, two days', three days' fast penences etc., and by other-- Aagam - 08 - Antakrud-dasha ed Gunara and auster climbed up pure place
mig
types of austerities purifying his soul Gautama ascetic reserved himself in soul bliss.
Then on another day Arihanta Arishthanemi went out from Nandana garden of Dwaraka city and began to wander village to village telling the path of salvation to other souls- beings.
Thereafter on an other day ascetic Gautama came to Bhagavana ArishthaNemi, circumabulated three times, worshipped& bowed down himself with devotion, then respectfully expressed his wish- "Bhagawan! If you allow me, I want to observe one month Bhiksu Pratima.
(Arthanta Arishthanemi said- Beloved of gods (Devanupriya)! Do as you feel happy, but do not delay in meritorious deeds).
Thus Gautama ascetic observed twelve Bhikshu Pratimas like Skandhaka monk and practised Gunaratna samvatsara penance.
Practising penances and austerities, ascetic Gautama also thought like monk Skandaka and then with elder saints climbed up on Satrunjaya Mountain. There he searched a place without flora and insects, i.e., pure place. He made it neat and clean. After that with pure heart and steady propiliation, he accepted one month's fast penance (Sanlekhanaa-Really it is a penance till death).
Thus with sathlekhana and fulfilling twelve years' consecration period and obtaining infinite knowledge, consuming all karmas he attained liberation.
