तदनन्तर अयोध्यापुरीको जाते समय जनकके पुत्र भामण्डलने वे तीनों मुनिराज देखे। देखते ही इस पुण्यात्माके मनमें यह विचार आया कि ये मुनि, आचारकी रक्षाके निमित्त इस निर्जन वनमें ठहर गये हैं परन्तु प्राण धारणके लिए आहार कहाँ करेंगे ? ॥६६-६७॥ ऐसा विचारकर सद्विद्याको उत्तम शक्तिसे युक्त भामण्डलने बिलकुल पासमें एक अत्यन्त सुन्दर नगर बसाया जो सब प्रकारको सामग्रीसे सहित था, स्थान-स्थानपर उसने घोष-अहीर आदिके रहनेके ठिकाने दिखलाये । तदनन्तर अपने स्वाभाविक रूपमें स्थित हो उसने विनय पूर्वक मुनियोंके लिए नमस्कार किया ।।६८-६६॥ वह अपने परिजनोंके साथ वहीं रहने लगा तथा योग्य देश कालमें दृष्टिगोचर हुए सत्पुरुषोंको भावपूर्वक न्यायके साथ हर्षसहित भोजन कराने लगा ॥१००। इस निर्जन वनमें जो मुनिराज थे उन्हें तथा पृथिवीपर उत्कृष्ट संयमको धारण करनेवाले जो अन्य विपत्तिग्रस्त साधु थे उन सबको वह आहार आदि देकर संतुष्ट करने लगा ॥१०१॥ मुक्तिकी भावना रख पुण्यरूपी सागरमें वाणिज्य करनेवाले मनुष्योंके जो सेवक हैं धर्मानुरागी भामण्डलको उन्हींका दृष्टान्त देना चाहिए। अर्थात् मुनि तो पुण्यरूपी सागरमें वाणिज्य करनेवाले हैं और भामण्डल उनके सेवकके समान हैं ।।१०२।। किसी एक दिन भामण्डल उद्यानमें गया था वहाँ अपनी मालिनी नामक स्त्रीके साथ वह शय्यापर सुखसे पड़ा था कि अचानक वनपात होनेसे उसको मृत्यु हो गई ॥१०३॥ तदनन्तर मुनि-दानसे उत्पन्न पुण्यके प्रभावसे वह मेरु पर्वतके दक्षिणमें विद्यमान देवकुरुमें तीन पल्यकी आयुवाला दिव्य लक्षणोंसे भूषित उत्तम आर्य हुआ ॥१०४॥ इस तरह उत्तम दीप्तिको धारण करनेवाला वह आये, अपनी सुन्दर मालिनी नीके साथ उस देवकुरुमें महाविस्तारको प्राप्त हुए पात्रदानके फलका उपभोग कर रहा है ॥१०॥ जो शक्तिसम्पन्न मनुष्य, पात्रोंके लिए अन्न देकर संतुष्ट करते हैं वे भोगभूमि पाकर परम पदको प्राप्त होते हैं ॥१०६।। भोगभूमिसे च्युत हुए मनुष्य स्वर्गमें भोग भोगते

The Twenty-First Hundred Chapter
11.
There, having obtained a rare tree, comparable to the merit of giving to the worthy, those three ascetics stayed there, with its many branches and sub-branches. ||15||
Then, as the son of Janaka was going to the city of Kosala, he saw those three ascetics. And in his mind, this thought arose in this virtuous soul: ||16||
"These ascetics are staying here in this desolate forest for the sake of upholding their vows, but where will they get food to sustain their lives?" ||17||
Thinking thus, and with great generosity, he built a very beautiful city nearby, which was full of all kinds of provisions. He also showed places for the announcement-makers, cowherds, etc. to stay. Then, with his natural demeanor, he bowed to the ascetics with humility. ||18||
He stayed there with his family and, at the right time and place, he offered food with joy and justice to the virtuous people who came into his sight. ||100||
He satisfied all those ascetics who were in that desolate forest, as well as other virtuous people who were afflicted in the world and who had attained excellent self-control. ||101||
One should cite the example of Bhammandala, who was a devotee of Dharma, as a servant of those who are engaged in commerce in the ocean of merit, who are devoted to liberation. That is, the ascetics are like those who are engaged in commerce in the ocean of merit, and Bhammandala is like their servant. ||102||
One day, Bhammandala had gone to the garden and was lying down comfortably on a bed with his wife, Malini, when a sudden storm killed him. ||103||
Then, due to the merit arising from giving to the ascetics, he was reborn in the divine Kuru, south of Mount Meru, with a lifespan of three palyas and adorned with divine marks. ||104||
Thus, he, who possessed great brilliance, enjoyed the fruits of giving to the worthy in that divine Kuru, with his beautiful wife, Malini, and attained great expansion. ||105||
Those powerful people who satisfy the worthy by giving them food, attain the land of enjoyment and the supreme state. ||106||
Those men who have fallen from the land of enjoyment enjoy pleasures in heaven. The nature of those who reside there is that giving is the wealth of enjoyment. ||107||
Time has come. ||14||
