## The Fifth Chapter
Having fallen from the fourteenth heaven called Pranata, he was born as Jayakirtana, the son of King Yashodhara and Queen Jaya in the city of Prithvipura in the Bharat Kshetra. || 138 ||
He took initiation from his father and was born in the Vijay Vimana, and from there he fell and became the Chakravarti Sagra. || 139 ||
When you were Rambha, you had great affection for Avali. Now Avali has become Sahasranayan. Therefore, due to past karma, you still have a strong affection for him. || 140 ||
Thus, both Meghavahana and Sahasraksha, having learned about their past lives from the mouth of the Jina, developed a great interest in Dharma. || 141 ||
Due to that religious interest, both of them remembered their past lives. Then, filled with faith, Meghavahana and Sahasranayan began to praise the Jina, Ajitanatha, in this way: || 142 ||
"O Bhagavan! You, without any reason, do good to those worldly beings who are devoid of intelligence and have no protector. What greater wonder can there be than this?" || 143 ||
"Your form is beyond comparison, and you are the possessor of immeasurable strength. O Lord! In these three worlds, who is there who has been satisfied by seeing you?" || 144 ||
"O Bhagavan! Although you have attained all that is attainable, are accomplished, all-seeing, blissful, inconceivable, and have known all that is knowable, yet you are still engaged in the welfare of the world." || 145 ||
"O Supreme Jina! You are the giver of the hand of support to the beings who are falling into the abyss of existence, in the form of the teachings of the essence of Dharma." || 146 ||
Thus, Meghavahana and Sahasranayan, whose speech was choked with emotion and whose eyes were filled with tears, having attained supreme joy, bowed down and sat in their respective places. || 147 ||
The Munis like Simhaviriya, the Devas like Indra, and the Kings like Sagra, all attained supreme wonder. || 148 ||
Then, in the Samavasarana of the Jina, the Indra of the Rakshasas, Bhima and Subhima, happily said to Meghavahana: "O child of the Vidyadharas! You are blessed to have come to the refuge of the all-knowing Ajita Jina. We are both pleased with you. Therefore, we will tell you what will ensure your well-being in all ways. Listen carefully. You are worthy of our protection." || 149 - 151 ||
