## Chapter 30: The Description of the Benefits of Prabhavati

388
"O valiant one! Know me as Prabhavati's grandfather, Bhageerath by name, and I will fulfill your desires." Thus speaking, the Vidhyadhara, with sweet words, took him towards Prabhavati. ||53||

Reaching the city of Gandhasamridh, situated on the peak of the mountain, Vasudeva, surrounded by many Vidhyadharas, entered the city with great splendor. ||54||

Then, on an auspicious day and constellation, the wedding of Vasudeva and Prabhavati was celebrated with joy by her father and relatives. ||55||

Vasudeva and Prabhavati were already captivated by each other's love before the ceremony. Now, as husband and wife, they were immersed in the ocean of worldly pleasures. ||56||

Gautama Swami says: Even though wicked people, due to their evil deeds, always separate others from their loved ones, those who have embraced the Jain Dharma in their previous lives, are blessed with the company of their loved ones, even more than a hundred times in their present life. ||57||

Thus ends the thirtieth chapter of the Harivansha Purana, composed by Jinasena Acharya, which is a part of the Arishta-nemi Purana, and describes the benefits of Prabhavati. ||30||

1. Yoga: Here it means "being connected".
