Part 12: Suvidhi’s mokṣa (emancipation)

Then the Master went to Mt. Sammeta with a thousand rishis, commenced a fast, and continued so for a month. Absorbed in śaileśī-meditation, the Master and the rishis went to an imperishable abode on the ninth day of the black half of Nabha in the constellation Mūla. He spent half a lac of pūrvas as prince; half a lac of pūrvas plus twenty-eight aṅgas in care of the kingdom; half a lac of pūrvas less twenty-eight aṅgas in the vow; so the total age of Suvidhi Svāmin was two lacs of pūrvas. Suvidhi Svāmin’s nirvāṇa was nine crores of sāgaropamas after the nirvāṇa of śrī Candraprabha.

According to rule the Indras made an unequaled nirvāṇa-festival together with the funeral rites of the ninth Arhat and the thousand munis. After that they went to their respective palaces with their retinues.
