In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, the king, whose mind was captivated by the spring goddess Lakshmi, and who desired many pleasures, continued to play with her, increasing his joy. || 12 || But just as a cloud driven by the wind disappears, so too did the spring season, driven away by the wind of time. His heart was filled with sorrow at its disappearance. || 13 || He thought, "This desire is a wicked thing, a sinner who afflicts the whole world, dwelling in everyone's mind, and even without a physical form, it is still a source of conflict." || 14 || "I will burn this desire today with the fire of meditation." Thus, he developed detachment. He entrusted the burden of the kingdom to his son, Chandana, and went to the sage Anand, becoming detached from all possessions and his body. || 15-16 || He studied all the scriptures, including the Vipaka Sutra, and performed austerities for a long time. He took the Tirthankara vows, practiced the three jewels (right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct), and at the end of his life, he died in meditation and became Indra in the fifteenth heaven, Aran, possessing great splendor. || 17-18 || There, his lifespan was twenty-two sagaras, his body was three hands tall, his substance and essence were both white, he breathed once every eleven months, he was content with mental nourishment for twenty-two thousand years, he was prosperous, possessed mental clarity, and had the eight qualities of Prakama, etc. He was illuminated by the knowledge of the sixth hell, his strength and power extended that far, and he was a transmigrant of the vast ocean of happiness, free from external afflictions. Thus, he spent his countless years like a moment, like a single instant of time. || 16-22 || When six months remained of his lifespan as Indra, and he was about to descend to earth, in the Malaya country of the Bharat Kshetra of Jambudvipa, the king of the Ikshvaku dynasty, Dridharatha, ruled the city of Bhadrapur. His queen was named Sunanda. By the command of Kubera, the Yaksha gods, through their messengers, filled Sunanda's womb with jewels six months beforehand. She, too, was a queen of sixteen lokas, at the end of her lifespan. || 24-25 ||
