In the Padma Purana,
Hearing this most wondrous tale, Chandragati, realizing the tree of worldly dharma to be barren and the bondage of existence,
abandoned the thought of mere existence, firmly resolved to perform his duty, attained supreme enlightenment and a rare state of awakening.
He relinquished his kingdom to his son, as per the rules, and with great haste, went to the feet of the Muni, Sarvabhutahita, for the welfare of all beings.
The Lord Sarvabhutahita, renowned throughout the world, with a multitude of rays of virtues, was a bringer of happiness to the worthy beings.
Bowing down to him, worshipping him, and praising him with devotion, Chandragati, with folded hands raised to his head, said, "O Lord, I am weary of worldly life and desire to receive the Jain initiation from your grace and perform austerities."
"So be it," said the Muni. The drums were sounded, the Bhamandala performed its supreme function with devotion.
The finest women sang with the accompaniment of flutes, a multitude of musical instruments roared along with cymbals.
The sound of the crowd, "The glorious son of King Janaka, Jayanta, is victorious," echoed and reverberated.
The sound, emanating from the garden, was so powerful that it deprived all the people of Ayodhya of their sleep.
The Jains were overjoyed hearing this auspicious sound, while the people of false beliefs were filled with sorrow.
Hearing the sound, Sita awoke as if sprinkled with nectar, her whole body trembled, and her left eye twitched.
She thought, "Who is this Janaka whose son is victorious? This very high sound is heard again and again."
"King Janaka is the elder brother of Kanaka and my father. My brother was taken away as soon as he was born, could this be him?"
