## The Saptavasa Parva
### 381

The Damyant, adorned with white powder and ornaments like earrings, was enjoying himself with his friends.
Then, while he was staying there and playing, he saw the Digambara monks, who were engaged in meditation, study, and other practices, standing nearby.
Like a ray of light emanating from the sun, he, shining brightly, left his group and went to the assembly of monks, who were as steadfast as the peaks of Mount Meru.
Then, after paying homage to the monks and listening to the teachings of Dharma, he became endowed with right faith and adhered to the rules.
At one time, he performed a seven-fold Parana for the monks and, after death, attained the heavenly abode.
There, due to the influence of his past actions, rules, and charity, he enjoyed excellent pleasures. He was always adorned with a garland of blue lotuses, whose brilliance was like the eyes of hundreds of goddesses.
From there, he was reborn as the son of King Harichandra and Queen Priyangulakshmi in the city of Mriganka, located on this Jambudvipa. He was named Singhchandra, a master of arts and skills. Although he was one, he was present in the hearts of all beings.
Even in that existence, he renounced worldly pleasures after receiving guidance from the monks and, at the end of his life, went to heaven.
There, he was like the sun, causing the lotus gardens of the goddesses' faces to bloom, and he enjoyed the supreme happiness that was obtained merely by his will.
From there, he was reborn as the son of King Sukantha and Queen Kanakodaya in the city of Arun, located on the Vijayardha mountain in this Bharat Kshetra. He was named Singhvahana, and his virtues attracted the hearts of all people.
There, he experienced the supreme joy of embracing women who could steal the attention of Apsaras, and he enjoyed the generous pleasures like a god.
At one time, he attained enlightenment in the Tirtha of Sri Vimalnath, and after entrusting his kingdom and wealth to his son, Meghavahana, he departed from the world.
