In the Padma Purana, the glorious King Kshemakar, the husband of the pure Devi Vimala, is eternally victorious. His two sons, who are like the gods, are also victorious. ||167|| The daughter, Kamalotstava, who sits in the window, is also victorious, for she has these two brothers, who are full of excellent qualities. ||168|| Knowing that these two were their siblings, they attained supreme dispassion and began to think: ||169|| Alas! This great sin that we have desired is utterly despicable! Alas! See the terrible nature of delusion, which made us desire our own sister! ||170|| We are grieving because of our carelessness, but those who deliberately do such things are truly very bold. ||171|| Alas! This world, filled with suffering, is utterly meaningless. In it, such thoughts arise in the minds of sinful people. ||172|| A being who acts hastily due to some sin can quickly go to hell. But we, having attained knowledge and good conduct, are still desiring to go to hell. This is truly amazing! ||173|| Thinking thus, they abandoned their mother, who was fainting from grief, and their father, who was overwhelmed with affection, and took the Daigambari initiation. ||174|| Having attained the supreme wealth of tapas, these two monks, who were like the sun, wandered through the various pilgrimage sites of the world, traveling through the sky. ||175|| King Kshemakar, consumed by the fire of grief, renounced all food and attained death. ||176|| From the beginning of his existence, as mentioned earlier, he has been the father of both of us. Therefore, he always had great affection for us. ||177|| Now, after death, he has become the lord of the Garuda Kumaras, the gods of the celestial beings, known as Mahalochan, who is handsome, with extraordinary prowess. ||178|| He is agitated by the trembling of his seat, and knowing everything through his divine knowledge, he has come here and is sitting in the assembly of the Vyantara gods. ||179|| On the other hand, Anundhar, who is devoted to the practice of asceticism, has come to the city of Kaumudi, accompanied by a group of disciples. ||180|| The king there is named Sumukh, and his beloved queen, Ratavati, is a supremely beautiful woman who has attained the status of a hundred-headed queen. ||181||
