In the Harivamsha Purana, a new Purana, adorned with excellent words, is like a reservoir of ancient knowledge. This Purana, composed of great clouds of learned men, is spread far and wide by the rivers of people, reaching the four oceans. ||49|| May the Jinesvara, who are served by the assembly of gods, whose peaceful rule brings peace to the people, whose pure, unwavering vision of liberation is ever present, and who have seen all the truths, be victorious. ||50|| May the lineage of the Jain Dharma, invincible in debate, be victorious, may there be prosperity and abundance for the people, and may this earth, adorned with excellent crops due to favorable rains every year, be for the happiness of beings. ||51||
In the year seven hundred and five of the Saka era, when Indraayudha ruled the north, Srivallabha, the son of Krishna Raja, ruled the south, the glorious Avanti Raja ruled the east, and the valiant Jayavaraha, the lord of the solar orb, ruled the west, the composition of this Harivamsha Purana was begun in the temple of Sri Parshvanatha, built by King Nanna Raja in the city of Sri Vardhamanapura, which was constantly growing in prosperity. However, the composition was not completed there. A significant portion remained unfinished. Later, in the city of Dostatika, the people, through their excellent worship and praise, completed the lineage of the Haris, the Jain Tirthankaras, in the peaceful abode of peace. ||52||
Just as the earth spreads out, so too will wise men, capable of bearing the burden of the world, naturally spread this Purana across the earth. ||48||
