After that, King Vinami had many sons, Sanjaya, Arijaya, Shatrunjaya, Dhananjaya, Manichula, Harishmashru, Meghaniaka, Prabhanjana, Chudamani, Shatanika, Sahasranika, Sarvajaya, Vajraबाहु, Mahaबाहु, and Arindama, etc. All these sons were endowed with humility and knowledge of ethics, illuminated by various knowledge, and were the best ornaments of the northern line. Besides sons, he also had two daughters named Bhadra and Subhadra. Among them, Subhadra was one of the fourteen jewels of the Bharata Chakravarti, a jewel of women. || 103 - 106 || Thus, Vinami also had many sons, radiant with great brilliance, Ravi, Soma, Puruhuta, Anshuman, Hari, Jaya, Pulastya, Vijaya, Matanga, and Vasava, etc., and two daughters named Kanakapunjashri and Kanakamanjari. || 107 - 108 || Later, the supremely wise named Namich and Vinami, having renounced the wealth of the Vidyadharas, became detached from the world and both took Jina initiation. || 109 || Among the sons of King Vinami, there was a son named Matanga, who had many sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons, etc., and they went to heaven and liberation according to their own practice. || 110 || In this way, after many days, in the Tirtha of the twenty-first Tirthankara, a king named Prahasita was born in the Matanga lineage, in the city of Asitaparbata. He was very powerful and was like the sun of the sky of the Matanga lineage. I am Hiranyavati, the wife of the learned elder. || 111-112 || My son is named Singhadanshtr, and Neelanjana is his wife. They have a daughter named Neelayasha, whose blue hue is like that of a blue lotus, the blue of the blue sky. I am used to speaking, so I have made an effort to describe the lineage of that daughter, who is adorned with virtues, skills, and many qualities, and who has attained brilliant fame. || 113-114 || O Harivansha, like the moon! That moon-faced daughter came to this Champapuri during the Ashtahnika festival, the festival of worship of Lord Vasupujya, and she was dancing in front of the temple when she saw you. || 115 || O Kumar! Your sight was a cause of happiness for that daughter at that time, just as it is now a cause of sorrow in separation. || 116 || She does not bathe, she does not eat, she does not speak, she does not move. With the arrow of love, she lives, a great wonder. || 117 ||
