Atimukta Kumar Aur Arjun Malakar
The first story is – ‘Sage Atimukta’. The story of his life is available in Antakritdashanga Sutra and Bhagavati Sutra. After rains ascetic Atimukta one day accompanied the senior ascetics to jungle for nature\’s call. Looking at flowing water his playful child nature surfaced. Raising a sand wall he blocked the flowing water and put his ascetic pots on the surface to float. Then he uttered with joy, “Float my boat! Float!” The moment senior ascetics saw this activity of Atimukta defying ascetic-discipline, anger was visible on their faces. Atimukta corrected himself and was remorseful of his deed. With earnest repentance he purified himself. When the ascetics returned to Bhagavan they told him about this incident and asked, “After how many rebirths he will get liberated?\” Bhagavan said, “This is his last birth before he gets liberated. Though small in body, his soul is great.” After vigorous austerities ascetic Atimukta attained liberation. The second story is about Arjuna Malakar. His story is available in the eighth section of Antakritdashanga Sutra. How a simple garland-maker (malakar) turned to be a cruel murderer and then how his life suddenly changed when he was about to hit Shravak Sudarshan merchant. He came to Bhagavan Mahavir’s Samavasaran and after listening to the Sermon got initiated. From Arjuna Malakar he became ascetic Arjuna and took to the path of ascetic-discipline. As people knew him only as a ferocious murderer, they hit him angrily with sticks and stones when they saw him unarmed and dressed in white. Ascetic Arjuna endured all this with equanimity and forgiveness. Within a short period of six months he cut the Karmic bonds and got liberated. It is a unique and astonishing story.
