## Chapter Twenty-Six

359
While the seeker of liberation was in the sky, he saw the enemy, Manasvega, the Vidyadhara, suddenly appearing in the air. [27]
Releasing the seeker of liberation from the sky, she assigned Manasvega to kill him. As she wished, she went away, and he fell on a pile of grass. [28]
Hearing the glorious deeds of Jarasandha sung by the people, the seeker of liberation knew that this was the city of Rajgriha. He was pleased and entered the excellent city. [29]
In the city of Rajgriha, the seeker of liberation won a crore of gold coins in gambling and, being charitable, distributed them all to everyone, everywhere. [30]
The seers of omens had told Jarasandha that whoever would win a crore of gold coins in gambling and distribute them would be the father of his slayer. According to the orders of the seers of omens, they were searching for such a person at that time. [31]
Seeing him, the officials of Jarasandha captured Vasudeva and, with the intention of "let him die immediately," they bound him in a leather bag and threw him from the top of the mountain. [32]
As Vasudeva was falling down, suddenly, Vegavati came swiftly and caught him forcefully. As Vegavati was taking him somewhere, he thought to himself, "Look! Just as the Bharunda bird had carried away Charudatta before, it seems that I am also being carried away by the Bharunda bird. I don't know what kind of suffering awaits me now." [33-34]
These bonds of kinship are difficult and painful, material possessions are difficult, and a beautiful body is also difficult. Yet, foolish beings consider them to be their own and pleasurable. [35]
The soul alone performs virtuous and sinful actions, alone experiences pleasure and pain, alone is born and dies, yet it remains attached to its relatives. [36]
Those who are wise and courageous are happy and engaged in their own welfare, who have abandoned their attachment to material possessions and are established in the path of liberation. [37]
We are immersed in the waves of desire for material possessions, our actions are heavy, and we wander around, repeatedly experiencing the cycle of pleasure and pain in the world. [38]
Thinking thus, Vegavati brought Vasudeva down to the bank of the mountain.
