**176.** Due to his extremely strict rule, the Brahmanas, obtaining great fear, hid themselves in the families of washermen, etc., like the Kshatriyas.
**177.** This Chakravarti, named Subhūm, lived between Aranāth and Mallināth. He was not detached from worldly pleasures and therefore went to the seventh hell after death.
**178.** Now we describe the ninth Chakravarti. In the city of Vītashoka, there was a king named Chinta. He became a disciple of Suprabhamuni and attained Brahma heaven.
**179.** From there, he was born as the ninth Chakravarti, named Mahapadmin, in Hastinapur, to King Padmaratha and Queen Mayuri.
**180.** He had eight daughters who were proud of their beauty and did not desire any husband on earth. Once, the Vidyadharas took them away.
**181.** After finding them, the Chakravarti brought them back, but they, being detached, took initiation and attained heaven after achieving self-liberation.
**182.** The eight Vidyadharas who had taken them away also became initiated due to their separation and fear of the unpredictable nature of the world.
