देखकर तुम्हारी बुद्धि वैराग्यमय न हो जावे इस भयसे नगरमें मुनियोंका प्रवेश रोक दिया गया है ।।२७।। परन्तु तुम्हारे कुलमें परम्परासे यह धर्म चला आया है कि पुत्रको राज्य देकर तपोवनकी सेवा करना ॥२८॥ तुम कभी घरसे बाहर नहीं निकल सकते हो इतनेसे ही क्या मन्त्रियोंके इस निश्चयको नहीं जान पाये हो ॥२९॥ इसी कारण नीतिके जाननेवाले मन्त्रियोंने तुम्ह आदिको व्यवस्था इसी भवनमें कर रखी है ॥३०॥
तदनन्तर वसन्तलता धायके द्वारा निरूपित समस्त वृत्तान्त सुनकर सुकोशल शीघ्रतासे महलके अग्रभागसे नीचे उतरा ॥३१॥ और छत्र चमर आदि राज-चिह्नोंको छोड़कर कमलके समान कोमल कान्तिको धारण करनेवाले पैरोंसे पैदल ही चल पड़ा। वह लक्ष्मीसे सुशोभित था तथा मार्गमें लोगोंसे पूछता जाता था कि यहां कहीं आप लोगोंने उत्तम मुनिराजको देखा है ? इस तरह परम उत्कण्ठासे युक्त सुकोशल राजकुमार पिताके समीप पहुँचा ॥३२-३३।। इसके जो छत्र धारण करनेवाले आदि सेवक थे वे सब व्याकुल चित्त होते हुए हड़बड़ाकर उसके पीछे दौड़ते आये ॥३४॥ जाते हो उसने प्रासुक विशाल तथा उत्तम शिलातल पर विराजमान अपने पिता कीर्तिधर मुनिराजकी तीन प्रदक्षिणाएँ दीं। उस समय उसके नेत्र आँसुओंसे व्याप्त थे, और उसकी भावनाएँ अत्यन्त उत्तम थीं ॥३५॥ उसने दोनों हाथ जोड़कर मस्तकसे लगाये तथा घुटनों और मस्तकसे पृथिवीका स्पर्श कर बड़े स्नेहके साथ उनके चरणोंमें नमस्कार किया ॥३६।। वह हाथ जोड़कर विनयसे मुनिराजके आगे बैठ गया। अपने घरसे मुनिराजका तिरस्कार होनेके कारण मानो वह लज्जाको प्राप्त हो रहा था ॥३७॥ उसने मुनिराजसे कहा कि जिस प्रकार अग्निकी ज्वालाओंसे व्याप्त घरमें सोते हुए मनुष्योंको तीव्र गर्जनासे युक्त मेघोंका समूह जगा देता है उसी प्रकार जन्म-मरणरूपी अग्निसे प्रज्वलित इस संसाररूपी घरमें मैं मोहरूपी निद्रासे आलिंगित होकर सो रहा था सो हे प्रभो ! आपने मुझे जगाया है ।।३८-३९।। आप प्रसन्न होइए तथा आपने स्वयं जिस दीक्षाको धारण किया है वह मेरे लिए भी दीजिये। हे भगवन् ! मुझे भी इस संसारके व्यसनरूपी संकटसे बाहर निकालिए ॥४०॥ नीचेकी ओर मुख किये सुकोशल जबतक मुनिराजसे १. संप्रापयितुरन्तिकम् म.। २. मामप्युत्तरयामुष्माद्- म. ।

Seeing the Muni in the city, the king was afraid that his son would become dispassionate. Therefore, he prohibited the entry of the Muni into the city. ||27||
This is the Dharma that has been passed down in your lineage, that you should give the kingdom to your son and serve the Tapovan. ||28||
Don't you know the decision of the ministers? You will never be able to leave this house. ||29||
For this reason, the ministers, who are wise in policy, have made arrangements for you and others in this very house. ||30||
Hearing the entire account from the messenger, Sukoshal quickly descended from the top of the palace. ||31||
Leaving behind the royal insignia like the umbrella and the fly whisk, he walked on foot, his feet adorned with a soft, lotus-like radiance. He was graced by Lakshmi and inquired along the way, "Have you seen a great Muni anywhere here?" Filled with utmost eagerness, Prince Sukoshal reached his father. ||32-33||
His attendants, including the umbrella-holders, were all agitated and ran after him in a flurry. ||34||
Reaching the place, he circumambulated his father, Kirtidhar Muni, who was seated on a magnificent, excellent stone platform, three times. His eyes were filled with tears, and his emotions were sublime. ||35||
He joined his hands, touched his forehead with them, and prostrated himself with his knees and forehead touching the ground, paying his respects to his father with great affection. ||36||
He folded his hands and sat before the Muni with humility. As if he was ashamed of the Muni being rejected from his home. ||37||
He said to the Muni, "Just as a group of clouds with loud thunder wakes up people sleeping in a house engulfed in flames, so too, in this house of the world, burning with the fire of birth and death, I was asleep, embraced by the sleep of delusion. O Lord! You have awakened me." ||38-39||
"Be pleased and grant me the same initiation that you have taken yourself. O Lord! Please liberate me from the troubles of worldly desires." ||40||
While Sukoshal was speaking with his head bowed, the entire assembly of his vassals arrived. ||41||
