The fifth festival was celebrated, and some of them, having bestowed their wealth on their sons, attained the state of liberation after having destroyed their karmas. ||55|| Thus, O King, this lineage of the Vidyadharas has been described. Now, the avatar of the second Yuga is being described. ||56|| At the end of the Yuga of the Lord Rishabhadeva, the ancient noble qualities on this earth became degraded, the people's interest in the activities of the other world became slack, and their supreme intellect became engrossed in the pursuit of pleasure and wealth. ||57-58|| Then, when the kings born in the Ikshvaku dynasty had passed away in due course, a king named Dharanidhara was born in the city of Ayodhya. He had a son named Tridashanjay, who was a renowned holder of Lakshmi, born to his queen, Sri Devi. His wife's name was Indurekha, and they had a son named Jitashatru. ||59-60|| In the city of Podanpur, there lived a king named Vyananda, who had a daughter named Vijaya, born to his queen, Ambhojamala. King Tridashanjay arranged the marriage of Jitashatru with Vijaya, and then he renounced the world and attained liberation on Mount Kailasa through penance. ||61-62|| Then, according to the previous decree, Lord Ajitanatha was born to them. Indra and the other gods performed the abhisheka and other ceremonies just as they had done for Lord Rishabhadeva. ||63|| Since his father had conquered all his enemies at the time of his birth, he became known as 'Ajita' on earth. ||64|| Lord Ajitanatha had many queens, including Sunayana, Nanda, and others. All of them were so beautiful that even Indrani could not match their beauty. ||65|| Once, Lord Ajita went to a beautiful garden with his inner court. In the morning, he saw a large forest of blooming lotuses. ||66|| When he saw the same forest shrinking as the sun was about to set, he realized the impermanence of Lakshmi and attained supreme detachment. ||67|| Then, after asking his father, mother, and brothers, he renounced the world according to the previous decree. ||68||
