In the Padma Purana,
One day, having taken the Jain path, he became steadfast. He went to the place frequented by the Siddhas, pure in his yoga. ||353||
Then, both brothers, eager to perform their duty, roamed the earth. They were both radiant, like the sun and the moon, their brilliance clashing. ||354||
Meanwhile, in the southern part of the mountain range, in the sky, there was a city named Rathanupura, resembling a city of the gods. ||355||
There, the lord of both the clans was a mighty warrior, named Asanivega, who instilled fear in his enemies. ||356||
His son was Vijayasimha. He desired to marry the daughter of the king of Aditya-pura, named Srimalā, who was born to the Vidya-dhara king Vidya-mandara and his queen Vegavati. She was so beautiful that she eclipsed the sky with her radiance. Seeing his daughter in her youth, Vidya-mandara, with the consent of his relatives, arranged a Swayamvara. Vijayasimha, the son of Asanivega, desired Srimalā, and thus, driven by his love for her beauty, he went to the Swayamvara. ||357-359||
All the other celestial beings, adorned with their bodies, filled the sky with their jeweled chariots, quickly arriving to pay their respects. ||360||
Then, on beautiful platforms, supported by pillars of jewels, adorned with lofty seats, and radiating with the brilliance of embedded gems, the chief celestial beings sat in their respective places. They were accompanied by a limited retinue, useful for their bodily needs. ||361-362||
Then, in the midst of all the celestial beings, the eyes of all, like blue lotuses, fell upon Srimalā, who was seated in the center. ||363||
Then, the celestial beings, whose hopes were set on the Swayamvara, and whose minds were captivated by desire, displayed beautiful gestures. ||364||
One celestial being, though his crown on his head was steady, was making it steady with his hand, covered in the radiance of jewels. ||365||
Another, placing his elbow near his waist, was twisting his body, yawning. His action made the joints of his body crackle. ||366||
Another, with his hand, was pushing away a bright, sword-like ray of light, which was standing in his path, and looking at it with a sidelong glance. ||367||
