## Chapter Forty-Seven
161. Due to the intense rise of delusion, her soul became helpless and, digging into the soil of her heart, many wrong thoughts arose in her mind. ||51||
She thought, "The woman who receives the touch of his body with her own body even once in her sleep, is the only woman in the world; the rest are just the form of a woman." ||52||
"If I get the embrace of Pradyumna, then my beauty, grace, good fortune, and charm are successful; but if it is difficult to obtain, then all this is as insignificant as grass to me." ||53||
With such thoughts in her mind, Pradyumna, who had not even imagined such thoughts in his mind, bowed to her and, receiving her blessings, went home. ||54||
The Vidyadevi, Kanakmala, who was longing to obtain the pleasure of Pradyumna's embrace, was overwhelmed with intense sorrow and forgot all her work. ||55||
The next day, hearing of her illness, Pradyumna went to see her. What did he see? Kanakmala was lying on a bed of lotus leaves, very distressed. ||56||
Pradyumna asked her the reason for her illness, and she expressed her feelings through bodily gestures and words. ||57||
Knowing this contrary situation and condemning her actions, Pradyumna was eager to explain the relationship between mother and son to her. ||58||
In response, Kanakmala told him the whole story from beginning to end, saying, "How did you find me in the forest? How did you raise me? And how did I receive the benefit of knowledge?" ||59||
Hearing about his connection with Kanakmala, Pradyumna's mind became doubtful. To get a clear answer, he went to the Jain temple where the Muni Raja, Sagar Chandra, resided. He bowed to him with joy and asked him about all his past lives. Knowing his past lives, he also learned that this Kanakmala was Chandrabha in his previous life. ||60-61||
Pradyumna, the holder of pure right vision, also learned from the Muni Raja that he was going to receive the knowledge of Prajnapti from Kanakmala. Then, Pradyumna, who possessed the virtue of patience, went to Kanakmala, who was suffering from love, and asked her about the knowledge of Prajnapti. ||62||
