In the Purana, known as the Kinnara Gita, there was a princess named Suprabha, born to King Ratimuyukha and Queen Anumati. She was a thief of hearts and eyes, a dweller in the abode of love, a moon-like being who blossomed like a Kumudini, a lake of beauty, an ornament of ornaments, and a bringer of joy to all beings. King Meghavahana married her with great pomp and splendor. [179-181]
After that, Meghavahana, the king whose command was obeyed by all the celestial beings, resided in Lanka for a long time, just as Indra resides in heaven. [182]
Some time later, King Meghavahana, who desired a son, was blessed with a son. This son, following the family tradition, was named Maharaks. [183]
One day, King Meghavahana went to the Samavasarana of Ajitanatha Bhagwan to pay his respects. After offering his salutations, he sat down in his designated place with great humility. [184]

"How many Chakravartis will there be, adorned with fourteen jewels and the Sudarshan Chakra, the holders of Lakshmi? Similarly, how many Balabhadra, Narayana, and Pratinarayana will there be?" [188]
Thus, when Emperor Sagar asked these questions, Bhagwan Ajitanatha replied with the following words. His words were like the deep sound of a divine drum, rejecting the great path and bringing joy to the ears. [189]
The language of the Bhagwan was Ardhamagadhi, and his lips did not move while he spoke. This was a great wonder. [190]
He said, "O Sagar! In every Utsarpini and Avasarpini, there are twenty-four Tirthankaras, each of whom establishes the Dharma Tirtha." [191]
At the time when this entire world was enveloped in the dense darkness of delusion, devoid of the awareness of Dharma, a home for all hypocrisy, and without a king, [192]
