## Chapter Sixty-One
Knowing the intention of the Shrenika, the head of the Ganadharas, Shri Gautam Swami, praised by the world, began to narrate the story of the elephant prince. ||1||
He said, "Hearing the story of the Tirthankaras, the elephant prince, filled with fear of the world, left behind all his relatives, including his father and son, and with great humility approached the Jinenadra. He received permission and, eager to perform penance, took the vows. ||2-3||
The girls who were destined for the elephant prince, like Prabhavati, all renounced the world and took the vows. ||4||
One night, the elephant prince, a solitary monk, was seated in meditation, enduring all kinds of obstacles, when Soma Sharma, inflamed by the fire of anger born from the abandonment of his daughter, approached him. With a steady mind, he ignited a fierce fire on the head of the monk. ||5-6||
His body was consumed by the fire. In that state, he destroyed his karma through Shukla Dhyana and, becoming an Antakrit Kevali, attained liberation. ||7||
Yaks, Kinnaras, Gandharvas, and Mahoragas, along with the gods and demons, came together and worshipped his body. ||8||
Many Yadavas, including Samudravijaya, and others, filled with grief at the death of the elephant prince, renounced the world and took the vows, desiring liberation. ||9||
Except for Shiva and other goddesses, Devaki, and Rohini, the other wives of Vasudeva and the daughters of Krishna also took the vows. ||10||
After that, the revered Nemijinenadra, worshipped by gods and humans, travelled through various lands with great splendor, awakening the souls of the people. ||11||
He established many kings in the Dharma, including those from the north, the middle country, and the east, who were all filled with subjects. ||12||
