## Chapter 2: Collection of Examples

227

Just as we do not find it suitable to beg, so a wealthy merchant from a nearby region said, "What is the fault here?" Then the sage explained in detail the faults like bodily violence, etc., according to the scriptures. Then the merchant said, "O venerable one! Where do you reside, so that we who have come here may hear the Dharma?" Then the sage replied, "I have no fixed abode yet." Then the merchant offered him a place in his own house to stay, and he listened to the Dharma every day, and he also adopted the right faith and minor vows. The sage also narrated many stories of the past, like those of Vasudeva, etc., who had accepted vows, such as, "If even my own son wishes to renounce the world, I will not stop him," etc. Hearing this, Shivadeva also accepted a vow, saying, "O venerable one! If anyone of mine also renounces the world, I will not stop him." In the meantime, Shivadeva's eldest son and the sage's sister, both agreed to renounce the world. The merchant sent them both forth, and they renounced the world. 38. The story of Parashurama and Subhūma in the *Śrī Upadeshamālā* is relevant to the topic of renunciation.

In Gajapura, the sister of Anantavīrya, the king, named Reṇukā, was married to the sage Jamadagni. Once, she came to Gajapura to visit her sister, and the king had a son born to her. The sage took her away. Her eldest son was Rāma, who possessed the knowledge of the *Parashu* (axe) given by the *Vidyādhara* (celestial being) Dattā. He killed his mother and her children in a fit of anger, thinking that they were a disgrace to the family. Hearing this, Anantavīrya came and destroyed the sage's hermitage. Rāma also cut off his head with his axe. Anantavīrya's son, Kārtavīrya, became king. Hearing this story, he became envious and killed Jamadagni. Rāma killed him too. His wife, Sutārā, was pregnant and fled in fear to the sage's hermitage. There, in her confusion, she gave birth to a child who fell to the ground and took the earth in his mouth. Because of this, he was named Subhūma. Rāma went there and took over his kingdom. In a fit of anger, he made the earth devoid of Kshatriyas seven times. He made the earth the abode of the teeth of the chief Kshatriyas. Once, he asked a soothsayer, "How will I die?" He said, "When the teeth that are lying on the earth in your presence become milky, then." To fulfill this prophecy, he had a platform made and placed in front of his throne, and he held a sacrifice there. Because of the prophecy of the soothsayer, Subhūma was served by the *Vidyādhara* Meghanāda and grew prosperous. He asked his mother, "Is this the only world?" Hearing this, she wept. He asked, "Mother, what is this?" She told him the whole story. Then, filled with pride, he went to Gajapura, entered the sacrificial hall, sat on the throne, and the teeth that had become milky began to eat him. Rāma heard this, came there with his army, and then, due to the merit of Subhūma, the axe that had been given to him by the *Vidyādhara* blazed forth in the presence of the Kshatriyas. Meghan
