हे नाथ ! वैसे तो जैनधर्मके साधुओंको देखकर मुझे अकृत्रिम-स्वाभाविक आनन्द होता ही है परन्तु आप दोनोंके दर्शन कर आज अपूर्व ही आनन्द हो रहा है तथा मेरा स्वाभाविक स्नेह उमड़ पड़ा है सो इसका कारण क्या है ? ||१३|| उन मुनियोंमें जो बड़े मुनि थे वे अपनी वाणीसे अमृत झराते हुएके समान बोले कि हे राजन् ! पूर्वभवका सम्बन्ध ही स्नेहकी अधिकताको प्रकट करनेवाला है। मैं पूर्वभवका सम्बन्ध कहता हूँ सो सुनो-||१४।।

In the Harivamsha Purana, at that time, two Muni (Jain monks) descended from the sky. With folded hands, he bowed to them, who were seated comfortably on the earth, and asked, "||12||
My Lord! I am always delighted to see the Jain ascetics, but today, seeing you both, I am experiencing an unprecedented joy, and my natural affection has surged. What is the reason for this? ||13||
The great Muni, like a stream of nectar, said, "O King! The relationship from a previous birth is the one that reveals the abundance of affection. I will tell you about the relationship from the previous birth, listen carefully. ||14||
In the western Videha region, in the western half of Pushkar, there is a city called Ganyapur, located in the northern range of the silver mountain. ||15||
The king of that city was Suryabha, who was truly like the sun in radiance, and his wife was Dharini, who seemed like another earth, noble and extremely beautiful. ||16||
They had three sons named Chintaman, Manogati, and Chapalagati, who were extremely swift, affectionate, and possessed great valor. ||17||
At that time, in the city of Arijayapur, there lived King Arijay, whose wife was Ajit Sena, and they had a beautiful daughter named Pritimathi. ||18||
Pritimathi was proficient in many arts, she was very famous, and she always condemned the hypocrisy of women. One day, she said to her father, "Father! Give me a desired husband." ||19||
Knowing his daughter's feelings, the father said, "Ask for any boon you desire, except for the boon of penance." Hearing her father's reply, Pritimathi said, "Father! If you do not give me the boon of penance, then give me this boon, that I will marry the winner of the Gatiyuddha." ||20-21||
Saying "So be it," the father accepted his daughter's boon, and with the desire to win the Gatiyuddha, he arranged a Swayamvara for his daughter and invited the Vidhyadharas. ||22||
After all the Vidhyadharas arrived, the daughter's father, addressing them all, said, "Whoever among you is capable, let him compete in the Gatiyuddha for my daughter." ||23||
The form of the Gatiyuddha is this: whoever, the groom or the bride, completes a circumambulation of Mount Meru and worships the Jina, the victory of the one who completes it first is considered. ||24||
He was giving religious instructions to women. ||11||
At that very moment, two Muni (Jain monks) with the power of Charan (divine knowledge) descended from the sky. When both the Muni were seated comfortably on the earth, King Aparajit, with folded hands, bowed to them and asked, "||12||
