(Dhoon:Couplet) "SACHCHIDANANDI SHUDDHA SWAROOPI" AND AS THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS SOUL'S achievement dawns on him, there appears a serene joyousness on his face, the light of the omnipotent, complete Panchamajnana, the Kavala Jnana and Kevaladarshana - in his soul.

Balanced by definition in behaviour, decorated by the right vision, right knowledge and right conduct, this all-pervasive "Pravartana' formed the Chaturvidha Sangha, the four told religious order. Among the monks of this group, Gandhara Gautam Swami stood in the foro-front: among the nuns wus Arya Chandanbala, among the "Shravakas" wure Anand & others and among the Shravikas wore Revati, Sulasa and a few other such scholarly women.
At that time several problems peculiar to the country, society and religion were: Division of people on the basis of caste, the high-caste brahmins and the low-casta sudras; exploitation of the women, hypocrisy, animal sacrifices and violence, rigidity, superstition, useless rituals and show of religiosity minus true dovotion. In short, a materialistic attitude was to be found everywhere. Lord Mahavir had a solution to all these problems, a cure for all these illnesses, and an answer to all the questions:

"la fecerataer" (Song:Couplet) "JAN LIYA KI JEEVAN YATRA There was again the divino Samovaserana..., that stupendous non stop last discourse... and the light and night of the new moon..., 16 praharosa", two days and 48 hours lapsed wher, when suddenly..... that ceaseless flow of words came to a stop, his physical body firmed itself into Paryankasane, all activities of the mind, word and body ceased. The remaining 'Aghati Karma" were totally demolished. The soul broke the walls al all attachments and contacts and entered a still silent, mountain-like state of pure elation, when a voiceless echo raso... I have reached the state of the realised paramatma". And the Lord attainod the highest position (Panchama Pada), everlasting silence and Pari-Nirvana (salvation)
"ariert sitan ata...." (Coupler)
