54. Looking at the large gathering and hearing the noise (of people going to pay homage to ascetic Dharmaghosh), prince Mahabal thought like prince Jamali, called his attendant and asked the reason (Chapter9, Lesson-33). The attendant joined his palms and said to prince Mahabal–“Beloved of gods! Ascetic Dharmaghosh, a great-grand-disciple of Tirthankar Vimal Naath has arrived here. Description as earlier... and so on up to... prince Mahabal, like prince Jamali, boarded a good chariot, came to the ascetic and paid homage. Like Keshi Swami, ascetic Dharmaghosh too gave his religious discourse. Hearing that, prince
Mahabal also got detached like prince Jamali (as mentioned in Chapter29, Lesson-33). Returning home and following the example (of Jamali) he
sought permission for ascetic initiation from his parents saying—"0 mother and father! I want to get initiated by ascetic Dharmaghosh into his ascetic order after renouncing the worldly life and getting my head tonsured.” Like Jamali, prince Mahabal too had a dialogue with his parents (Chapter-9, Lesson-33). His parents said-"Renouncing all this enormous wealth and eight beautiful and virtuous girls from best royal families, why do you want to get initiated?” etc. as described earlier
(Chapter-9, Lesson-33)... and so on up to... The parents unwillingly gave ॐ permission adding-“But, Son ! May be just for a day, we want to see $ you in regal grandeur (as King).”

५६. तए णं से बले राया। कोडुंबियपुरिसे सद्दावेइ, एवं जहा सिवभद्दस्स (स. ११ उ. +९) तहेव रायाभिसेओ भाणियव्वो जाव अभिसिंचइ, अभिसिंचित्ता करयलपरि. महब्बलं ॐ कुमारं जएणं विजएणं वद्धति, जएणं विजएणं वद्धावित्ता जाव एवं वयासी-भण
जाया! किं देमो? किं पयच्छामो? सेसं जहा जमालिस्स तहेव, जाव (स. ९ उ. ३३)म [५६] तत्पश्चात् बल राजा ने कौटुम्बिक पुरुषों को बुलाया और जिस प्रकार (श. ११, म उ. ९ में) शिवभद्र के राज्याभिषेक का वर्णन है, उसी प्रकार यहाँ भी महाबल कुमार के
राज्याभिषेक का वर्णन समझ लेना चाहिए, यावत् महाबल का राज्याभिषेक किया, फिर हाथ 9 जोड़कर महाबल कुमार को जय-विजय शब्दों से बधाया तथा इस प्रकार कहा-हे पुत्र! कहो,
