Ṛishabhapañcāśikā [7 of 50]
7. And through the third spoke (of six: good-good, good, good-bad, bad-good, bad, bad-bad) in this Avasarpiṇī (descending wheel of time) there arose splendour at your birth, through the golden one, on one side of the wheel of time.[1]

[1]Comm.: Idānim janmādhikjitya dvigāthām (7 and 8) prāha.
Ṛishabha was born 3 years and 8 months before the end of the third spoke. When the second Jina was born, it was the turn of the fourth spoke, to which all subsequent Jinas, including Mahāvira, belong.
