Chapter 24

The twenty-fourth one, who came at the sacred time, himself being among the seven made ninefold.

This coming numerical verse, a speaker of all names, shows what belongs to the beginningless past as my song-number.

Within the succession of sages, all three, possessing nine crores of fame and name and extraordinary excellence, becoming exceedingly excellent and beautiful.

Nine multiplied by seven; [the intervening wording is unresolved]; through the qualities of the maidens.

The separate digit of the essence of the obtained numerical result is seven; the glory of the succession of teachers is beginningless.

Having understood the calculation brought forth in the song's numerical form, it spreads and circles about like a garland of gems.

The nine crore Brahmins of increasing qualities, all the Caturmukhas, the Vyāsas, and mathematical science.

Composed by all the yogis who know the śāstras and are repositories of sacred teaching, being excellent, the Siddhānta and Bhārata were victorious.

Ratnasāgara, enjoyer, yogin; in the repository where ocean-like knowledge has increased, the reckoning of the mathematics of the lord of yogins.

Qualities; a lotus abode.

Fame, stainless; that.

Four, six, precisely five; maji.

The kinds of knowledge are three.

Seven [the remaining expression is unrecoverable with confidence].

Of bound living beings,

the subsiding of the passions,

for the presence of awareness.

[Unresolved ಬಹರೂ], that [unresolved ಒವಾನ್].

Equal: four, seven, five.

Hunger, [unresolved ತಾ ಒ], three indeed.

[Unresolved ಡುದಿ], suffering, this [unresolved ಒ].

The moon, or destruction.

[Unresolved initial syllable] pacification.

[Unresolved syllables] the perfected self [beginning of the following word].

Then, or [unresolved ending].

The numeral of nine, as a representation—

—of the representation, at the one who remained established,

At that one, through one another,

Not becoming available to many.

Because it is called [unresolved ಮೆವ್].

[Unresolved ಕ್ಷರೀತ್ಯವಾಗೆ], earth.

Honoured [unresolved ಆತೇನಚೇನ್].

[Unresolved ರ್ದಿಯಾರ್ದಂ], longing.

Within that store of the letter-poem of permutations, seven are inscribed; within the atom of conjunction, the distribution is vast.

Within it, having counted the combination within an instant, the śalākā with divisions of the class of those beyond enumeration.

Five hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand and a crore—I called it the number of cāritra; for the ascetic, an unremitting, terrible affliction.

When that cessation comes about thus, the dissolution of the world becomes the day on which Bhagavanta Vyāsa was attained.

The flower of the tree of naya; the Jaina and Vaiṣṇava who have manifested the devotion of Manmatha’s lineage.

When King Śivasaigoṭṭamāra and Amogha, having selected the utterance of the poet’s tongue, praised me.

Has pleased; of your lady; [unresolved: iinujakkilakiyalava]; to the earth; [unresolved: prēmaviranēkta]; the lineage of these three.

Surpassing the song of the lineage, the ethical conduct accomplished through human and superhuman fortitude is twofold.

[Unresolved opening], the minor vows observed, [unresolved phrase], Kṛṣṇa, of the tongue, the universe, [unresolved ending].

Then, in the order set forth,

in that order, through scant strength of disposition,

through that scant strength, having none of the eight faults,

of the mahāvrata.

To him, the eighth; the remaining fragment cannot be translated securely.

Much or many; the following expression cannot be translated securely.

Who descended or was born; the following fragment possibly introduces austerity.

This sequence does not support a reliable literal translation.

The excellence cannot be declared equal.

It became the sound juṇu-juṇu.

Compassionate Chandraprabha.

The one called thus is the speaker.

Possibly: listen to the sound. The surviving letters do not establish the complete wording.

Here, of the body and the embodied soul.

[Unresolved opening syllable] Is it not called sweetness.

Manner; this; thus; [unresolved final syllable]. A connected translation cannot be established.

The number in the form.

The reckoner of the primal essence.

The elephant’s series of guṇasthānas.

Having become the whole.

The Blessed One is possibly mentioned; the remaining wording cannot be translated reliably.

No reliable literal translation can be recovered from this reading.

Auspiciousness or a benediction is possibly mentioned; the surrounding wording cannot be translated reliably.

No reliable literal translation can be recovered from this reading.

Why say Kannada [unrecoverable phrase]; why is that said [unrecoverable phrase apparently referring to a number].

With all the living beings of the excellent mathematical reckoning bowing in homage, let all humans praise.

[Opening words unresolved] One who has understood will know all, of that much time.

Of those who worship me with devotion, since the time of their longing, a blade of grass not seen, through verbal scripture.

Having understood, multiplying fervent devotion: a philosopher’s stone called wealth obtained in an instant.

Concerning strength, yoga and mārgaṇā, expound all the supreme, fearlessness-giving meditation and Siddhānta.

Inquiry into one’s own yoga; knowledge of numbers belonging to those who reckon the true numerical form.

For this, in the manner in which letters are arranged, through firmly established devotion, the exceedingly dreadful eightfold impurity today.

As the welfare of beings capable of liberation who are within worldly existence arises, of the meaning of the verse beginning with saṅgasya.

A follower of Kālācārya.

[Unresolved damaged expression], moment by moment.

Having made gentle.

One eager for worship with a lamp.

Within the vow of restraint, owing to faults,

having a form struck by fear,

the vow,

becoming radiant.

The arrangement of numerals, for six.

Multiplied or endowed with, of wealthy people.

[Unresolved ಡೇದ], here in bodies.

When examined.

They themselves … proceed.

[Unresolved fragment] manifold in nature.

Consider the play that has arisen.

Establishing the permutation.

[Unresolved opening] that [unresolved continuation].

[The wording cannot be translated reliably from the supplied reading.]

[He] remains capable.

[Unresolved qualifier] connection.

[Unresolved ಔ] of meditation, experience [word apparently continued in line 2].

[Possibly completing ‘through the experience of meditation’] dharma.

[Unresolved ಮೋತಾ ಔ] great or abundant [grammatical connection unresolved].

[The surviving reading ಸಪಹ ಆಘಪತೋಮ್ cannot be translated reliably.]

The initial numeral of both series; extensive correct reasoning; pure through its own power.

Pure intention itself is absent from the numeral; the sacrificial priest, being subject to the karma of the sacrifice; sacrifice…

The result indeed is these rasa-bhadra figures, shining in the sacrificial rite through excellent calculation with eight.

In this exposition, the yajña sound consists of these: o, hi, a. They performed the yajña of that number’s multiplication; that is the product.

Of the resultant numeral falling into that very same position, what follows a descending sequence is the initial anuloma, the forward order.

The eight numerals of rasa, forming in reverse order—for those numerals, the preceding chapter supplies the cūrṇakara.

Of the non-conjunction and disjunction of the attainment of a number that has arisen as a yield.

Alagīta number, pāhupadi, rimiyādaṃ, jaḷe; the cakra of my pāda; nimada, possibly having understood, possibly of the basis. The unresolved words prevent a reliable complete literal translation.

Especially, the honor of worship of the Ādimaṅgala Pāhuḍa’s sound-and-numeral cows.

[Unresolved opening] aṅka (number) [unresolved ending].

[The surviving sequence cannot be translated reliably.]

[Unresolved opening] possibly happiness [unresolved ending].

[Unresolved opening] the eminent land.

In the region, in truth, yathākhyāta conduct.

When that which follows from a standpoint arises, u…

[Possibly: an adjunct or limitation]; that minute thing spreads.

In numerical form, thus of the same kind.

And he said: bondage—

—has ceased; that guṇa—

—sthāna, shining for the standpoint.

Distinct is that one, the supreme—

The surviving sequence does not support a reliable literal translation.

And that connection or consequence [ending unresolved].

The surviving sequence does not support a reliable literal translation.

[Unresolved wording] of a person or of people.

He himself, indeed, both—

For the standpoint, of the Jinas, as—

Declared, through crookedness—

That too is painful feeling.

Daṅka, austerity, kastru; the surrounding words cannot be securely interpreted.

Ṣābhivrukōṣvida, O; the expression preceding the possible exclamation cannot be securely interpreted.

Daṅka uddhihtōṣa; no reliable literal interpretation is recoverable.

… showing both.

Having itself become everyone's Ṛgveda, the ṛc caused revulsion to the multitude of living beings; that is the glory everyone speaks of.

The ṛk in the divine language; the worn-away course; all the former indeed; the Pārthas; goes; bird; tone; class.

Multiplication of scriptural recitation alone; concerning the qualities of the sacrificial gods, you say, ‘I know that.’ Blind violence is indeed the end.

Observe the sacrifice of the Danujas of old; O givers of sacrificial material, kill the Rākṣasas.

Saying that this one has become obstinate, do not call him a great deceiver; the hunter in the forest of karma conquers much karma.

…of; Maghava, the assembly of Maruts, the rule; on being touched by the ṛc, the cow of greatness, the Brāhmaṇa…

The mantra that the Brahmins also sing together: homage to Śiva; Mahāvīra’s essential truth, the path of purity and uprightness.

Having descended and ascended the row, rightward to the numeral lying across itself, then the many languages of the arrangements and of the other five arrangements.

In the languages is hidden, within the triad beginning with Ṛg, the terminal numerical expression ‘two, three, four.’

Coming, slipping in,

removing the karmic influx,

removing death,

the nectar of conduct.

Happiness or ease; the preceding expression cannot be translated reliably.

No reliable literal translation is recoverable from this sequence.

No complete literal translation is recoverable; the sequence may contain the word meaning new.

No reliable literal translation is recoverable from this sequence.

The expression ārḍdantalla cannot be translated reliably.

[Unresolved preceding word-ending] of heroic Kāma.

Possibly ‘of yoga’, followed by an unrecovered expression.

[Unresolved preceding word-ending] having become three parts.

[Unresolved expression], the world.

[The surviving expression cannot be translated securely.]

Whether that arrow became beneficial.

Brought by the very path, [unresolved continuation].

[Unresolved wording] Bhūva—

—laya’s [unresolved wording].

[It] is crooked or curved [unresolved continuation].

[Unresolved wording continuing from the preceding line].

The underlying nature of the flower of fear.

The leader, quality, disposition, to ascend.

The flower of the guṇasthāna.

Its summit, the lord of existence.

Having examined the two words and their origin, O worthy sir, explain them; the Ṛgveda must bow before it.

Worship of the gods, offering, sacrifice for the sake of fruit; within a human being’s worldly existence, protection in happiness and auspiciousness.

The Bhūvalaya expounded by those who, before the concise formulation of the fundamental cause, attained liberation in this existence and understood simple reasoning of their own.

Of the five constituents, of the beginning and middle, of good religious observance, of the worldly existence of the beginningless lord of yogins, Kṛṣṇa.

As a poet-envisioned new doctrine comes into being, contrary to the manner of the Ṛgvedic Indra’s power is the creation of the body.

Perform the Veda’s nectar-song in the primordial Sāma; it is a graceful, gentle song. Understand the manner of those who know.

Through the branches of the auspicious Pāhuḍa, having become joined solely within the saṅgha, the Jayabhārata of the abode of the saṅgha’s scripture.

Arisen from the limb of Bhārata Vyāsa, this poem of Varmadeva has a threefold division and both metres.

Of this syllable, ‘Om, thus,’ the multitude of letters has become the support; its body is the regional Karṇāṭa.

We failed; crooked

[It] has become; the utterance, for its part,

The reverent [conception] that appeared,

The contemplation of a flower.

As the state of those qualities rises.

Of what is purified at the guṇasthāna.

Foremost birth and the rest.

A breeze of fragrance.

The difficult-to-attain state is indeed equal.

Their own utterance is beautiful.

In whatever manner it is, remain so.

O one of good understanding, tranquil-souled one.

Among disputants.

Ethical conduct [unresolved: pāndhya].

Having become a deceiver, upajāti.

[Unresolved initial syllable] the path itself, the primordial one.

[Unresolved expression ಆಳಗದ] daily.

A knower, good understanding or Sumati [the continuation is unresolved].

Woman, neuter—this is both; the being itself; human, ṛk, explanation, and the Dānava king.

These stainless hundred Indras, together with the celestials, came forward to learn the ṛks.

In Sanskrit and Prakrit, they cultivated the happiness, understanding, and conduct belonging to the branches of all the ṛk verses.

Having encompassed the whole mātṛkā, [unresolved wording concerning a foot], grace, that initial śloka-foot.

The complete sequence of fifty-three is the unbroken bliss of him whose bliss is consciousness, Śrī Nemi Jina.

For the sake of the people of Bharata, having cast aside adharma and become manifest and strong, devotion to true dharma arose.

When speaking of knowledge: Viṇhu’s limb, the auspicious goddesses’ glory and victory, ōvi verse, and tripadi.

Of the two classes of four-footed verses, the number of the metrical forms designated by the unresolved expression is eight.

Effort, fire, the subsidiary essence of the Ṛgveda, the water of Rudrī associated with the fulfilment of one's wishes, sky, knowledge and specialized knowledge.

The desire for eternal bliss.

Attain oneness, Siddha.

The summit of the cosmos; having a beginning.

They describe it as beginningless; both.

The noble ascetics who possess passions.

The restraint they maintain without abandoning it.

Most incomparable.

The fire of spiritual discipline, realization, and the means.

Possibly: having inferred.

Spiritual discipline; Chandraprabha’s …

… absence of passion.

He who became an elephant among ascetics.

That very remainder, at the end.

Having removed it, the well-being that resulted.

That very path of karma.

Approach the pure abode.

My remaining ethical conduct

is indeed Yathākhyāti, conduct as proclaimed.

For protecting all activity,

the sun of compassion, to cause to burn.

Incomparable, renowned for essential truth.

Far-reaching, possessed of completeness.

Protecting.

A measure of absence of preeminence; [unrecoverable expression]; continually; great poetic flavour; Vyāsa himself; nine crores; [unrecoverable expressions]; a Vedic verse.

Thus renowned in the enumeration is Sunaya, king of the Ādi Bhārata.

The Ṛgveda embodies the faults and qualities of the great men who come within the kingdom; O Sudharmi, hear this ordered account.

Of the earth’s future days there is numerical reckoning, beginning with the last letter, of the mathematics of taking up.

Protected or maintained.

Indeed, the accomplishment of the five fires.

Behold that which has become great.

If he becomes a kevalin, eight.

[The reading does not permit a defensible literal translation.]

Multiplied is the Ṛgveda, for the human being’s moment-by-moment change of the waterwheel pot’s sheath.

Of the letters going round and round, their forms employed in every manner—what skill there is now.

Then, in rapid motion, the agitated ones—those, these eight numbers, now kā—are their very playing.

Within the sequence of poems that has come into being through this Ṛgveda method of Devanāgarī.

The arrangement is the earth itself; at the moment when the soul came, the characteristics of people within this bowl.

One sound that has attained the supernatural power of measuring an atom of time; victory within one column of a numeral.

Fixing with the mind the great jewels of Bharata’s rise, the poem of the first day arose.

Know, O Pārtha: śruti, the Vedas, the number’s anuvāka, ghana, the pure form of the three Vedas.

Āyadammama, the source, Paktadanda; of all scripture, inscribe the numeral; be victorious, live.

Can we know the extent of the standpoints and means of valid knowledge in the excellent poem called Ardhasvavijaya, pertaining to the time of meditation.

This is the wish-fulfilling tree; call it the fruit that has become pure; after the enemies of the Siddhas have been wiped away, Brahman.

Now will become perfected my interior, having become śabdabrahman itself, the womb of the world of existence.

To sow beautifully the seed of knowledge in all ten directions, the ten Pāhuḍa treatises are suitable.

As the grain of dharma grows, becoming a particle of the potency of the imperishable line itself, that alone is Jayabhārata.

Having become of that nature, for the disposition and conduct of the highest standpoint, the standpoint itself, becoming aggregates, can be divided.

On the standpoint that the soul is adamantine, the impure soul covered by sin itself stood as a seed.

Having watered.

Our great son of the earth, dwelling there beneath the twig’s sky-grove, making the auspiciousness of Karnāṭaka shine.

Within the collection of words, comprehend the next chapter, which conveys the meaning of the verse ‘Whatever being is endowed with splendour.’

Among a thousand, discern this: the unmanifest being and non-being of Vidura of the Mahābhārata.

In equal measure, birth.

When he himself destroys it.

Jina, the lord of illumination.

All that becomes darkness.

Ignorance itself, having incurred karma; desire destroyed when one reads each one separately in the Karnāṭa work.

Of that beneficial ray of the song’s sun; their jewel’s number three; the arising of those belonging to the song.

Of the sound-vargaṇā’s atoms, a whole composed of twenty-seven constituents; through the song of meaning, through the Tattvārtha song: Bharata and Gommaṭa.

Dishonour in battle; however much the coming of poetry; pride in his heart.

Having crushed what remained, has cast it away; the essence of the aṇuvrata, their constituent, is compassion and straightforwardness free from falsehood.

The remaining purity of the body, purity of mind, and profound purity of speech are as a threefold division.

The assembly of gods desiring pure threefold varṇa-status, which became devoid of sin.

That which was spoken, excellent [unresolved word], concerning dispassion towards the objects of the senses, of the teachers’ instruction.

Their man indeed am I. Let me tell the inner meaning of this poem; listen, O you who put questions to the teacher, the supreme soul.

Through that mind, called the sixth sense and fruitful in knowing, meaning comes.

He brings about the pacification of the mental sense, O man; water, fire, earth, sky and the like that arise.

Having stopped the desire for those things, having regulated food, without relinquishing it, within the desire that crushed the very substance of successive times.

Having relinquished ego, abide; of time difficult to traverse are birth, old age, illness, and death that causes distress.

Unceasingly suffering strikes; renouncers remaining within ego cannot conquer; there is no victory.

The path of the senses belonging to sound study you must now learn, sir—the account of your own soul’s course.

The quality of the world,

Within the object of a standpoint, who knows,

To the understanding of this Jinanātha,

Was accessible.
