BHAGWANNAMINATHJI The being hat
was to be Bhagavan Naminath purified his soul
during his birth as king Siddharth of Kshambi
town in East Mhavideh. He reincarnated as a god
in the Aparajit dimension. this being then descended
into he womb of queen Vipra, wife of king Vijay
of Mithila. As the queen had seen fourteen auspicious
things in her dream at the moment of conception,
the augurs informed hat the child to be born was
going to be a Chkravarti or a Tirthankar.
During the pregnancy period once Mithila was attacked
by some very powerful kings. Peace loving king
Vijay was at a loss to find a peaceful solution
and was worried. An expert augur told the king
that the pregnant queen should go to the roof
of the palace and look at the attacking armies.
The queen followed the instructions and threw
a loving glance at the large armies stationed
on the fields outside the town. The aura of the
pious soul in the womb was so powerful that it
cast a pacifying spell on the attackers. the kings
who were sure to win the battle, surrendered and
bowed before king Vijay.
This incident inspired the king to name the new
born as Naminath. Born on the eighth day of the
dark half of the month of Sravan, Naminath had
a happy childhood. When he became young he was
married and later was given the reign of the kingdom.
After a long and peaceful reign he became an ascetic
on the ninth day of the dark half of the month
of Ashadh. After nine months he attained omniscience
under a Bakul Tree in a garden near Mithila. His
first discourse was on the subject of right perception.
After a long period of religious and spiritual
activities he went to Sammetsikhar and got liberated
on the tenth day of the dark half of the month
of Vaishakh.
The tenth Chakravarti Harishen was his contemporary
and the eleventh Chakravarti Jai came in his religious
tradition, through much later.
