Here is the Shwetambar tradition story of Ardrak Muni in a simple, complete form. In the Jain story literature, he is first described as Ärdrakumar, the son of King Ardrak on an island kingdom. He became curious about India after receiving gifts from King Shrenik’s envoy. Abhaykumar then sent him an idol of Lord Adinath, and seeing that idol awakened memories of his previous life and inspired devotion in him. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)

In his former birth, he had been an ordinary man of Vasantpur with a wife named Bandhumati. Both had once taken renunciation, but later he experienced a moment of attachment toward her. Because of that karmic lapse, he was born on the island where true religion was unknown. When he recognized the idol, he began worshipping it secretly and strongly desired to see Abhaykumar.

Since his father did not allow him to travel, guards were set over him. He won their trust, arranged a ship in secret, and reached India. There, though signs were unfavorable, he renounced worldly life at once and became a monk. While meditating in Vasantpur, he met his former wife reborn as Shrimati, daughter of a wealthy trader. In a childhood game she chose him as her husband, recognized him later by a mark on his feet, and waited for him. Moved by the power of past karma and her attachment, he accepted householder life for some time and married her. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)

After some years they had a son. Once again Ardrakumar wished to renounce, but the innocent love of the child made him stay. The boy wound thread around his father’s feet, and Ardrakumar resolved to remain in गृहस्थ life for as many years as there were thread-circles. When he counted them, there were 12, so he stayed twelve more years before renouncing again. This episode is one of the most well-known parts of his story in Shwetambar retellings.

After renunciation he became Ardrak Muni and went toward Rajgrihi to meet Lord Mahavir and also Abhaykumar. On the way he encountered the men who had failed to guard him; they had become burglars. Out of compassion, he advised them to adopt a renounced life, and they accepted him as their guide. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)

Next he came to a hermitage where meat was being dried. The hermits believed they could practice nonviolence while killing an elephant for food. Ardrak Muni saw the tied elephant with great compassion. The elephant came peacefully to him, touched his feet, and left for the forest. The hermits became angry, but Muni explained that true nonviolence must include compassion, and that killing a highly sensitive animal is gross violence. His teaching converted the hermits, and they later became his followers. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)

Finally Ardrak Muni reached Rajgrihi, bowed before Lord Mahavir, thanked Abhaykumar for the gift of the Adinath idol, and remained as Mahavir’s disciple. He observed monkly restraint fully for the rest of his life and eventually attained moksha. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)
