The Fifth Chapter

Knowing thus the suffering of their fathers, they (Sahastra-nayan and Meghavahan) abandoned the enmity, the cause of worldly existence, which had been aroused in them. ||112||

Then the Chakravarti asked them about the cause of their enmity in their previous birth. The Lord, the master of the Dharmachakra, explained the cause of their enmity as follows. ||113||

He said that in the city of Padmaka, in the Bharat Kshetra of Jambudvipa, there lived a famous man named Rambha, who was a scholar of Sankhya Shastra and very wealthy. ||114||

He had two disciples, Chandra and Avalli, who were both very famous, wealthy, and virtuous, and were united in friendship. ||115||

Rambha, who was skilled in the science of politics, thought that if these two remained united, his position would be threatened, so he created a rift between them. ||116||

One day, Chandra wanted to buy a cow and went to the Gopalaka to negotiate the price. He was on his way home when, by chance, he met Avalli, who was also coming from the village after buying the same cow. In a fit of anger, Chandra killed him. Avalli died and became a Mlechchha. ||117-118||

Chandra died and became a bull, and the Mlechchha, due to the bond of enmity, killed him and ate him. ||119||

The Mlechchha, being a Tiryanchnaraka, was born as a rat. Chandra, who had become a bull, was reborn as a cat, and the cat killed and ate the rat. ||120||

Due to their evil deeds, both were born in hell, where they suffered great pain in the ocean of existence. ||121||

After being released from hell, they were born in Kashi as the sons of a slave woman named Sambhramadevi. Their names were Kutta and Karpatika. They were both slaves and worked as servants. Sambhramadevi appointed them to the Jina temple. After their death, due to their good deeds, they were reborn as Vyantara Devas named Rupananada and Surupa. ||122-123||

Rupananada was the soul of Chandra and Surupa was the soul of Avalli. Rupananada was born as a son of a noble family named Kulandhara in the city of Rajoavali, and Surupa was born as the son of a priest named Pushpabhuti. ||124||
