## Chapter Thirty-One

Kamdatt, the Seth, established a statue of the Kevali, Mrigadhwaj, and a statue of a buffalo in the city, at a place where people frequented, in front of the Jain temple. ||1|| The Seth also had statues of Kamadeva and Rati made in the same temple for the amusement of all the people. ||2|| Attracted by the sight of Kamadeva and Rati, people from all over the world came to the Jain temple and, seeing the two statues, listened to the story of the Kevali, Mrigadhwaj, and the buffalo. As a result, many men embraced the Jain religion every day. ||3-4|| This Jain temple, known as the temple of Kamadeva, became famous and was the cause of many people coming to it out of curiosity and attaining the Jain religion. ||5|| After many generations had passed in the lineage of Seth Kamdatt, a Seth named Kamadeva was born. ||6|| He had a daughter named Bandhumati, who was beautiful and full of youth, with a face like the full moon, and who brought joy to her family. ||7|| When her father asked the astrologer, he said that the man who would open the door of Kamadeva's temple and worship him would be her husband. ||8|| Hearing these words, Vasudeva went to the door of Kamadeva's temple and, with great effort, opened the door, which was guarded by thirty-two locks, and entered. ||9|| After entering, Vasudeva first worshipped the statues of the Jina and then worshipped Kamadeva and Rati. At that time, Seth Kamadeva was also in the temple to worship the statues, and he saw Vasudeva. ||10|| Then, with a happy heart, Seth Kamadeva, following the instructions of the astrologer, gave his beautiful daughter, Bandhumati, to Vasudeva. ||11|| News spread throughout the city that Seth Kamadeva, who was eager for a son-in-law, had given his daughter to Vasudeva, a man who fulfilled desires and was as wonderful as Kamadeva himself. ||12|| This news reached the king's inner palace, and Vasudeva was seen by the king's people. ||13||
