History 1Shri Bhadrabahu Swami and

They met Shrut Kevali Yashobhadra Suri & decided to take Diksha and become Jains.
In a short time, they became scholars of scriptures of Jain Religion.
Uvasaggaharam Stotra 10
History 2Shri Acharya Yashobhadra Suriji offered
AcharyaPad to Bhadrabhau and appointed him as his successor.
He thought Bhadrabahu wasmore qualified than
his older brother Varahmihir.
Uvasaggaharam Stotra 11
History 3This decision irritated and enraged
Varahmihir who ultimately renounced his Diksha (monk-hood) from Jain Sangh and became fortune teller.
His ego was hurt for not receiving AcharyaPad.

History 4When a son was born to the king,
Varahmihir declared that he would live for a hundred years,
but Bhadrabahu declared that he would live for only
seven days, and that he would be killed by a cat.

History 5
On the eighth day the prince died because of a door's anklet falling
on his head which had a picture of cat drawn on it.
Due to this humiliation Varahmihira left the kingdom.

History 6After few years Varahmihira passed away.
He had taken birth as ‘Vyantardeva’(a class of forest dwelling heavenly god).
He came to recall his earlier birth and soon out of jealousy (ego) and
anger, started inflicting pain (Upsarg) to People of the Jain community (Sangh).
Uvasaggaharam Stotra 15
History 7He became evil,
started torturing and terrorizing the Jains,especially followers of Bhadrabahu,
by spreading plague amongst the Jain Sangh.
As a result of which, many people began to die suddenly and
losing faith in the Jain religion.
Uvasaggaharam Stotra 16
History 8Jain Sangh requested Bhadrabahu Swami to
stop plague and the terror, so he composed Uvasaggahar Stotra.
The impact of this stotra was so great that the strength of Vyantardeva got
immensely diminished.
Uvasaggaharam Stotra 17
History 9He also called upon Dharanendra,
the divine follower ( devta ) of Parshvanath to help.
Through help of Dharanendra, Varahmihir was fully defeated and
Jain society was relieved.
