The first of these, Padma, will be the 16th Kulkar (patriarch) of the future era, with a lifespan of 100 years and a height of 7 arnis (cubits). The last, Anantvirya, will have a lifespan of 1 crore years and a height of 500 dhanush (bows) [4]. Additionally, the scriptures note that these 24 future Tirthankaras had specific previous births, including well-known figures like Shrenik, Vasudeva Krishna, Baldeva Rama, and Devaki [1][2]. It is also mentioned that a separate set of 24 Tirthankaras will appear in the Airavat Varsh region of Jambudweep during the same time cycle [3].
Karma can be categorized in several ways depending on the perspective: **By General Characteristics** Karma is divided into four kinds based on its nature and influence [1]: 1. **Prakriti karma**: The process of blocking virtues such as knowledge (*jnana*), perception (*darshan*), and conduct (*chaaritra*) [1]. 2. **Sthiti karma**: The duration of the bonded karmas' influence [1]. 3. **Anubhaava karma**: The potency or strength of the bonded karmas' fruits [1]. 4. **Pradesh karma**: The collective density and number of acquired karma particles [1]. **By Nature of Bondage (Prakriti Bandha)** These are grouped into two major categories based on whether they obscure the soul's true nature [2, 4]: * **Ghäti (Destructive) Karmas**: These subdue the soul's qualities. They include: * **Jnänävaraniya**: Knowledge obscuring [2, 4]. * **Darshanävaraniya**: Perception obscuring [2, 4]. * **Mohaniya**: Deluding karma (divided into *Darshan Mohaniya* and *Charitra Mohaniya*) [4]. * **Antaräya**: Obstructing karma [2, 4]. * **Aghäti (Non-destructive) Karmas**: These affect the physical body, mind, and environment rather than the soul's innate nature [2, 4]. Specific examples include **Āyuş-karma** (life-span) and **Nāma-karma** (body-type/characteristics) [3].
The Visahara Phulinga (also spelled Visahar Fullinga) mantra is a protective Jain hymn associated with Lord Parshvanatha. The core mantra is: **"Namiuna Pāsa Visahara Vasaha Jina Fulinga"** [1][5]. This is an 18-letter mantra considered effective against all types of pain and affliction, and it is implicit in stanza 18 of the Namiun Sutra [5]. There is also a longer version composed by Acharya Shri Mantung Suri that adds symbolic syllables: **"Om Rhim Shreem Arham Namiuna Pāsa Visahara Vasaha Jina Fuling Rhim Namaha"** [1][5]. In this version, "Om" symbolizes the five supreme entities, "Hrim" the three worlds, "Shrim" spiritual wealth, and "Arham" the worshipful one [5]. The mantra is said to pacify evil planetary effects, disease, epidemics, and acute fever when recited or held in the throat (remembered) [1][2][5].
Based on the provided context, the "Visahara Phulinga" mantra is a hymn dedicated to Lord Pārsva Nātha, who is attended by the deity Pārsva Yaksha. The mantra is believed to eliminate disturbances in the universe and destroy the poison of snakes and cobras. Lord Pārsva Nātha is described as an abode of auspiciousness and prosperity. The context states that a person who always remembers this hymn will be rid of misfortunes, fatal diseases, epidemics, and deadly fevers. Even a simple obeisance offered to Lord Pārsva Nātha is said to result in many good things, and because of these prayers, human beings and animals will not suffer from sickness and poverty. Furthermore, upon attaining right faith as preached by him, which is considered more valuable than the most precious heavenly jewels, living beings can easily attain the place of immortality. The hymn concludes with a prayer to the greatly renowned Lord Parśvanātha to bestow the seeds of attaining perfect knowledge in all future births.
Yes, the 63 Shalaka Purushas (outstanding personalities) are not unique to a single time cycle — they appear in **every** Kala-chakra (wheel of time). Each full cycle consists of one Avasarpini (regressive half) and one Utsarpini (progressive half), and the same pattern of 63 great souls is born in each cycle [1]. The 63 are divided into: - **24 Tirthankaras** (spiritual teachers) - **12 Chakravartins** (universal emperors) - **27 Viras/Heroes**, comprising 9 Baldevas, 9 Vasudevas, and 9 Prati-Vasudevas [1] The distribution across the six Aras (epochs) is specific: at least one Tirthankara and one Chakravartin appear in the Sukhama-Dukhama Ara, while the remaining Tirthankaras and Chakravartins are born in the Dukhama-Sukhama Ara. The same sequence repeats in both the regressive and progressive halves of every time cycle [1]. So while the *individuals* differ from cycle to cycle, the *set of 63* recurs in every Kala-chakra.
