The thirty-first chapter, and so on, [describes] the great sins [committed by] the woman who was filled with the feeling of disrespect for the Tirthankaras. She wandered in the terrible and endless ocean of the world, deluded by time. ||25||
In contrast, Upasti, practicing the two syllables "Dehi Dehi" (Give, Give), gave generously and, due to the influence of her virtuous deeds, was born in the city of Andrakapura, as the wife of Madra, a householder. Their son, Dharana, was fortunate and had many brothers. His wife was named Nayanasundari. ||26-27||
She offered pure food to the virtuous ones who came to her at the right time and place. As a result, she attained liberation, renounced her body in a state of Samadhi, and was born in the Kurukshetra region of the Videha realm, north of Mount Meru. There, she enjoyed pleasures for three Palyas and was born in heaven. ||28-29||
From there, she fell and was born as the son of King Nandighosa and Queen Vasudha, named Nandivardhana, in the city of Pushkalavati. ||30||
One day, King Nandighosa, having heard the excellent Dharma, became enlightened. He entrusted the responsibility of ruling the earth to Nandivardhana and, taking initiation from the sage Yashodhara, engaged in great austerities. Finally, he renounced his body according to the proper procedure and was born in heaven. ||31-32||
Meanwhile, Nandivardhana, devoted to the duties of a householder and the practice of the five-fold prostration mantra, enjoyed great pleasures for a hundred million years. Then, renouncing his body through Sannyasa, he went to the fifth heaven. From there, he fell and was born as the son of King Ratnamali and Queen Vidyullata, named Suryajaya, in the city of Sashipura, located on Mount Vijaya, west of Mount Sumeru, in the Videha realm. ||33-35||
Later, the mighty King Ratnamali set out to wage war against King Vajralochana, who resided in the city of Simhapura. ||36||
He was accompanied by brilliant chariots, foot soldiers, elephants, horses, and numerous warriors who created darkness with their weapons. ||37||
