In the Harivamsha Purana, when Gajkumar attained the age of youth, which was pleasing to the women, Krishna arranged his marriage with the most excellent princesses. ||127|| Soma, a very beautiful daughter born to a Kshatriya woman from Soma Sharma, a Brahmin, was chosen by Hari for Gajkumar. ||128||
When the time for his marriage arrived, all the Yadavas were very happy, and at that time, Lord Nemnath was wandering in Dwaraka. ||129||
When the Lord arrived and resided on Mount Girnar, all the Yadavas, carrying many auspicious things, went out of the city to worship him. ||130||
Seeing this commotion in Dwaraka, Gajkumar asked a Jain monk and from the beginning, he understood all the beneficial actions of the Jina. ||131||
Then, Gajkumar, riding in a chariot as bright as the sun, with his body trembling with joy, went to worship the Jina. ||132||
After bowing to the Arhant, who was endowed with wealth and surrounded by ten assemblies, Gajkumar sat down with Krishna in the assembly of humans. ||133||
In that assembly of humans, gods, and demons, Lord Nemnath Jina explained the Dharma, which was the only way to cross the ocean of existence and which was illuminated by the three jewels of Right Faith, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct. ||134||
On that occasion, Krishna, with a heart full of respect and a desire for the benefit of the listeners, bowed to the Jina and asked about the origin of the Tirthankaras, Chakravartis, Ardha Chakravartis, Balabhadra, and Prati-Narayana, as well as the intervals between the Tirthankaras. ||135-136||
Then, according to the question, the Lord began to speak about the origin of the twenty-four Tirthankaras, who were the most important among the sixty-three Shalaka Purushas. ||137||
He said that in this Yuga, the first Tirthankara was Rishabhanatha. After him, in order, were Ajitanatha, Sambhavanatha, Abhinandanatha, Sumatinatha, Padma Prabha, Supaashvanatha, Chandra Prabha, Suvidhinatha, Sheetalnath, Shreyonath,
