In the Harivamsha Purana, the concluding verse says, "O wicked one! Quickly withdraw the poison you have released. If you do not wish to withdraw it, then enter the fire!" ||51||
Thus addressed, the venomous serpent, filled with anger, did not withdraw the poison, but entered the blazing fire and died, becoming a spotted deer. ||52||
Singhseno, the king, died and became an elephant in the Sallaki forest. The monkey, Dhammilla, who was placed in the place of Sribhuthi, also died and became a monkey in the same forest. What else can be the fate of those with false vision? ||53||
Ramadatta's sons, the king Singhchandra and the prince Purnachandra, both wise and powerful, ruled the earth from the sea to the sea. ||54||
King Purnachandra and Queen Hiranyavati, who resided in the city of Podana, were the parents of Queen Ramadatta. Both of them were imbued with the spirit of the Jain teachings. ||55||
Once, Ramadatta's father, Purnachandra, received initiation from the sage Rahubhadra and attained knowledge of the future. His mother, Hiranyavati, received initiation from the Aryika Dattavati and adopted the vows of an Aryika. ||56||
One day, Aryika Hiranyavati, Ramadatta's mother, heard from the sage Purnachandra, who had knowledge of the future, about Ramadatta's affairs and went to her and instructed her. ||57||
Hearing the instructions from her mother, Ramadatta became afraid of the world and took initiation at that very moment. Hiranyavati also instructed Ramadatta's son, Singhchandra, who also took initiation from the sage Rahubhadra. ||58||
After Singhchandra, Purnachandra, the prince who had subdued his enemies through his prowess, ascended the throne. However, he was attached to worldly pleasures and was devoid of right faith and vows. ||59||
Once, Aryika Ramadatta, bowing to the sage Singhchandra, who had knowledge of the future and was a holder of the fourfold knowledge, asked him about her past life, her mother's past life, and the past lives of her sons. ||60||
The sage replied, "In this very land of Bharata, in the country of Kosala, there was a village called Vardhaki. In that village, there lived a Brahmin named Mrigaayana." ||61||
The Brahmin's wife was named Madhura, who was sweet not only in name but also in nature. They had a daughter named Varuni, who was like intoxicating liquor to young men. ||62||
