रामचन्द्रजीने सुवर्णं मृगको मारा था, और स्त्रीके पीछे सुग्रीवके बड़े भाई वालीको जो कि उसके पिता के समान था, मारा था || २४८ || यह सब कथानक युक्तियोंसे रहित होने के कारण श्रद्धान करनेके योग्य नहीं है । यह सब कथा मैं कल भगवान् गौतम गणधर से पूछूंगा ||२४९ || इस प्रकार बुद्धिमान् महाराज श्रेणिक चिन्ता कर रहे थे कि तुरहीका शब्द बन्द होते ही वन्दीजनोंने जोरसे जयघोष किया ॥२५०।। उसी समय महाराज श्रेणिकके समीपवर्ती चिरजीवी कुलपुत्रने जागकर स्वभाववश निम्न श्लोक पढ़ा कि जिस पदार्थको स्वयं जानते हैं उस पदार्थको भी गुरुजनोंसे नित्य ही पूछना चाहिए क्योंकि उनके द्वारा निश्चयको प्राप्त कराया हुआ पदार्थ परम सुख प्रदान करता है ।। २५१ - २५२ ॥ इस सुन्दर निमित्तसे जो आनन्दको प्राप्त थे तथा अपनी स्त्रियोंने जिनका मंगलाचार किया था ऐसे महाराज श्रेणिक शय्या से उठे ।। २५३ ||
तदनन्तर—पुष्परूपी पटके भीतर सोकर बाहर निकले हुए भ्रमरोंकी मधुर गुंजारसे जिसका एक भाग बहुत ही रमणीय था, जिसके भीतर जलते हुए निष्प्रभ दीपक प्रातःकालको शीत वायुके झोंकेसे हिल रहे थे और जो बहुत ही शोभासम्पन्न था ऐसे निवासगृह से राजा श्रेणिक बाहर निकले || २५४ || बाहर निकलते ही उन्होंने लक्ष्मीके समान कान्तिवाली तथा करकुड्मलोके द्वारा कमलों की शोभाको प्रकट करनेवाली वारांगनाओंके नुकीले दाँतोंसे दष्ट श्रेष्ठ बिम्बसे निर्गत जयनादको सुना ।। २५५।। इस प्रकार अत्यन्त शुभ ध्यानके प्रभावसे निश्चलताको प्राप्त हुए शुभ भावसे जिन्हें तत्कालके उपयोगी समस्त शुभ भावोंकी प्राप्ति हुई थी ऐसे महाराज श्रेणिक, सफेद कमलके समान कान्तिवाले निवासगृहसे बाहर निकलकर शरद ऋतुके मेघों के समूह से बाहर निकले हुए सूर्य के समान सुशोभित हो रहे थे || २५६॥
इस प्रकार आर्ष नामसे प्रसिद्ध रविषेणाचार्यविरचित पद्म-चरितमें महाराज श्रेणिककी चिन्ताको प्रकट करनेवाला दूसरा पर्व पूर्ण हुआ ||२||

Padmapurana
Rama, who had obtained the vow, was killed by the golden monkey, and Sugriva's elder brother, who was like his father, was killed by Janaka for the sake of his wife. ||248|| All this is unbelievable, devoid of any logic. I will ask the Lord Gautama, the head of the Ganadharas, tomorrow. ||249|| As the wise king was thinking this, a great shout of victory was raised by the prisoners as the sound of the trumpets ceased. ||250|| At that time, the long-lived son of the family, who was near the king, woke up and, by nature, recited this verse to the old man: "One should always ask the gurus, even if one knows the meaning oneself, for the knowledge obtained through their confirmation gives supreme happiness." ||251-252|| Filled with joy at this auspicious occasion, and with his wives having performed auspicious rites, King Shrenik rose from his bed. ||253||
Then - the king Shrenik emerged from his beautiful abode, which was adorned with a canopy of flowers, and where the sweet humming of bees that had emerged from their sleep filled one part of the palace, and where the pale lamps were swaying in the cool breeze of the morning. ||254|| As he emerged, he heard the victorious sound emanating from the excellent lips of the Vārāṅganās, whose radiance was like that of Lakshmi, and whose hands, adorned with lotus-like ornaments, were adorned with the beauty of lotuses. ||255|| Thus, the king Shrenik, who had attained calmness through the influence of extremely auspicious thoughts, and who had acquired all the auspicious feelings of the moment, emerged from his abode, which was as radiant as a white lotus, and shone like the sun emerging from a cluster of autumn clouds. ||256||
Thus ends the second chapter of the Padmacharita, composed by the Acharya Ravishena, known as the Ārṣa, which describes the anxieties of King Shrenik. ||2||
