After Sudharma Swamy destroyed all karmas, Jambu Swamy attained Keval gyan. After Jambu Swamy attained Siddha hood , there were no recorded  Kevalis. The duration of Gautam etc. three kavalis continuing the propagation of dharma is 62 years.

71. First Nandi, second Nandi Mitra, third Aparajit, fourth Govardhan and fifth Bhadrabahu, these five were having knowledge of the fourteen Poorvas. I offer them my salutations.

73-74. Eleven Acharyas have been there having knowledge of ten poorvas. These were Vishakh, Proshthil, Kshatriya, Jaya, Nag, Siddharth, Dhritishena, Vijay, Buddhil, Gangdeo and Sudharm. Together their period was 183 years.

75. Five Acharyas have been there  having knowledge of eleven Angs, in the teerth of Veer Jinendra. These were Nakshatra, Jayapal, Pandu, Dhruvasen and Kans. Together their period was 220 years. 

76. Then four Acharyas were there having the knowledge of first Ang  Acharang. These were Samudra, Yashobhadra, Yashobahu and Loharya. Subsequently there was none having knowledge of complete Acharang.

77. Subsequent to Loharya, four Acharyas namely Vinaydhar, Shreedatta,  Shivadatta and Arhadatta were having partial knowledge of the Angs and Poorvas.

81-82. There was  a great muni  Dharsen residing in Chandra cave at the top  Oorjayant hill who was practicing Vrita, Samiti and Gupti. He had the knowledge of Prakrati, Pradesh, Sthiti and Anubhag bandh of Karma Prabhrata of the fifth Vastu of Agrayaniya poorva. Bhavya jivas please offer your salutation at his feet.

83. Realising that the tradition of the knowledge of sruta would get interrupted, Acharya Dharsen  taught the lessons of Karma Prabhrat to  two capable munis Bhootbali and Pushpadant. In this way after the Samadhimaran of Acharya Dharsen , two munis were existent having knowledge of the part of sruta gyan.

84-85. The first khand (part) Jivatthan  describes the gunasthans of the Jivas, the second is Khuddabandh,  third is Bandh Samittavichaya, fourth is Vedana, fifth is Vargana  and sixth khand is Mahabandh decorated with 30000 shlokas. Humans would be having limited capability to learn; knowing this, Bhootbali and Pushpadant prepared the sruta gyan in question answer style.

86-87. On the fifth day of Jyeshtha  Shukla month, Bhootbali , Pushpadant and four types of Sangh installed the book in the form of sruta. It was worshipped in eight ways hence this day is remembered as Sruta Panchami. By respecting sruta one attains permanent Keval gyan ultimately.

88. Dhavala Shastra is of the size of 70000 shlokas, Jayadhavala is 60000 shlokas and Maha dhavala is of the size of 40000 shlokas. I offer prayers to these Siddhant Granths.

89. Residing in Chandra Prabhu Jinalaya in the garden of Kundanagar of  Telang country, I created these divine Gathas.

90. Destroyer of the pride of Kamdeva, remover of the effects of deceit, pride and moha, may Chanda Prabhu bhagwan grant the entire sangh peace.

91. Worshipped by famous Asurendra and Surendra with the sound of Jai Jai, may Chand Prabhu Bhagwan be Jaiwant. May he grant me peace and auspicious manifestations.

92. Myself Deshavrati (holder of vows partially) Hemachandra wrote this poetry with the approval of Siddhantik Ramanandi Guru. Further I enjoyed the three form worldly pleasures.

93. Whatever mistakes have been carried out in the form of letters or vowels or meaning by myself, may kindly be excused by Veetaragi munis and may my karmas be destroyed.

94. Whoever reads these gathas, hears them and respects them knowing their meaning, that bhavya jiva shortly attains the highest blissful form  Nirvana.
