Chapter 46: From the perspective of the virtuous, the peaceful one, "I attained the state of being a human being. My father was Dhandeva and my mother was Sukumarika. ||50|| My name was Kumardeva, and my mother was Suvrata. She killed a virtuous muni by giving him poisoned food. ||51|| Entering hell, she experienced the suffering born from killing a virtuous person. She wandered in the animal and hell realms. ||52|| I, being without vows, wandered in the world of intense suffering. Driven by the wind of sin, I became a dog in the life of my mother. ||53|| Later, in a hermitage, a tapasvi named Sita gave birth to a son named Madhu to a tapasvi named Mrgasringini. I grew up in the hermitage of the tapasvis. ||54|| Seeing the greatness of giving, I took initiation after a shravaka gave food to a muni named Vinayadatta. As a result, I ascended to heaven and then fell from there, becoming Kicaka. ||55|| Wandering in the world for a long time, my mother Sukumarika experienced great suffering. Finally, she became a human being, unfortunate and experiencing suffering. ||56|| Her name was Anumatika. She became Draupadi, endowed with tapasya and its causes. Because of this, I was filled with attachment. ||57||
See, a mother becomes a sister, a daughter becomes a beloved wife, and a wife becomes a mother, sister, and daughter. It is amazing how in the world, which is like a revolving wheel, there are intermingling and conflicting rules. ||58|| Therefore, O noble ones, understand this strange nature of the world well and become detached from worldly pleasures, however great they may be. Become virtuous, free from the causes of the world, and strive for liberation with great tapasya. ||59||
Thus, hearing the words of the muni Kicaka, the yaksha, along with his wives, bowed down to the guru, whose mind was adorned with right faith, and disappeared at the end. ||60||
