Yama approached Brahmadeva and the latter told him that though the prince was to die as his twelfth year, the Rudrabhisheka Teertha bath bestowed on him a fresh, long lease of life, and the prince was thus blessed to live for full span of 100 years.

For the liberated self being always endowed with ananta-Jnana or infinite and detailed knowledge of all the objects, a general grasping of all the objects will be present in the self only at the moment immediately preceding omniscience but cannot be an ever-present characteristic of it.
That is why Brahmadeva and Nemichandra describe ananta-darsana simply as a prakasa or flash of consciousness.8 The Vedantins do not feel the necessity of accepting darsana as a separate fact, as they include it in the concept of cit or jnana itself.
In the Jaina works, sraddhana is generally explained as ruci which means live, and as such, tattvartha-sraddhana means ‘love for truth’.22 Brahmadeva explains sraddhana as ruci which he further explains as niscayabuddhi or definite understanding.23 Prabhacandra also in his commentary on Atmanusasana seems to explain it in the same way.

 The First Precept and its Environmental Significance
The phrase nikkhittadando tasathavaresu is found in the Brahmadeva sutta of the Samyutta Nikaya.[16] Brahma Sahampati has uttered this in praising the venerable Brahmadeva, an arahant.
Surely, Brahmadeva did not become an Arahant by renouncing force only towards Arahants and non-Arahnats without any concern for other living creatures.
When the pupils of brahmin Lohicca were uproarious and noisy after coming up to his forest hut, the Venerable Kaccana said in the midst of his advice to them: "Those who are overwhelmingly wrathful and exceedingly violent fail among tasathavara."[17] Here the term tasathavara means not the Arahants and non-Arahants, but all the living beings.
