संविभागोऽतिथीनां च तेषामुक्तो जिनाधिपैः । यज्ञाख्यावस्थितास्तस्मिन् भेदैः पात्रादिभिर्युतैः ॥४०॥ मातासे कहा कि मेरा पिता नग्नमुनियों और उनके भक्तों द्वारा प्रतारित हो नग्न हो गया है ॥२७॥ तदनन्तर स्वस्तिमतीने जब निश्चयसे यह जान लिया कि अब पतिका समागम मुझे प्राप्त नहीं होनेवाला है तब वह अत्यन्त दुःखी हुई। वह दोनों हाथोंसे स्तनोंको पीटती एवं जोरसे चिल्लाती हुई रुदन करने लगी ॥२८॥ यह वृत्तान्त सुन धर्मस्नेही नारद शोकसे व्याकुल होता हुआ अपनी गुरानीको देखनेके लिए आया ॥२९॥ उसे देख वह और भी अधिक स्तन पीटकर रोने लगी सो ठीक ही है क्योंकि यह स्वाभाविक बात है कि आप्तजनोंके समक्ष शोक बढ़ने लगता है ॥३०॥ नारदने कहा कि हे माताजी! व्यर्थ ही शोक क्यों करती हो ? क्योंकि इस समय शोक करनेसे निर्मल बुद्धिके धारक गुरुजी वापस नहीं आवेंगे ॥३१॥ सुन्दर चेष्टाओंके धारक गुरुजीपर पुण्यकर्मने बड़ा अनुग्रह किया है कि जिससे वे जीवनको चंचल जानकर तप करनेके लिए उद्यत हुए हैं ॥३२॥ इस प्रकार नारदके समझानेपर उसका शोक क्रम-क्रमसे हलका हो गया। स्वस्तिमती कभी तो पतिकी निन्दा करती थी कि वे एक अबलाको असहाय छोड़कर चल दिये और कभी उनके गुणोंका चिन्तवन कर स्तुति करती थी कि इनकी निर्लेपता कितनी उच्चकोटिकी थी। इस प्रकार निन्दा और स्तुति करती हुई वह घरमें रहने लगी ॥३३॥

Then, knowing for sure that her husband would not return, she was overcome with sorrow. She beat her breasts with both hands and cried out loud. ||28|| Hearing this account, Narada, the devotee of Dharma, came to see his teacher, overwhelmed with grief. ||29|| Seeing him, she beat her breasts and cried even more. It is natural for sorrow to increase in the presence of loved ones. ||30|| Narada said, "Mother, why are you grieving in vain? Your grief will not bring back the pure-minded Guru now." ||31|| "He has been blessed by his good deeds, and knowing the impermanence of life, he has become eager to perform austerities." ||32|| Thus, comforted by Narada, her sorrow gradually subsided. Sometimes she would criticize her husband, saying that he had left her helpless, a weak woman, and sometimes she would praise his virtues, thinking how high his detachment was. Thus, criticizing and praising, she remained at home. ||33||
It was from this incident that Yayaati, the knower of truth, entrusted the kingdom to Vasu and became a great ascetic. ||34|| Vasu became a well-established king, renowned throughout the earth. His throne was situated on a large slab of crystal, and it was said that Vasu, by the power of truth, was situated in the sky without any support. ||35|| Then, one day, Narada and the mountain had a discussion about the true meaning of the scriptures. ||36|| Narada, the omniscient and all-seeing, said, "The Arhant Bhagavan has described two types of Dharma, Anuvrata and Mahavrata, based on their subtle and grand distinctions." ||37|| "To be free from the five sins of violence, falsehood, stealing, lust, and attachment is called a Vrata. This Vrata is accompanied by five different intentions for each Vrata." ||38|| "Those who are able to renounce these sins completely in all places are called Mahavratins, and the rest, who live in homes, are called Anuvratins." ||39|| "The Jina Bhagavan has described one Vrata for householders, called Atithisambhaga, which is of many types, based on the differences in the recipient, etc." ||40||
