84 Mahapuraana, Uttara Puraana May the glorious Shreyanasana, the lord of the Tirthankaras, who is great in the three worlds, be your fortune, who, by expounding the Syadvada, attained Siddhi. || 66 || Salutations to the poet of this Puraana, who is a follower of Jinasena, and to the venerable Gunabhadra, whose feet are worshipped by the Lokasena. || 67 || In this Tirtha, the glorious Keshava was the first to arise, the energetic one. And in the lineage of the Chakravartis, Bharata was the first, the protector of the three continents. || 68 || His story is narrated from his third birth. This is a good example of the rise and fall of kings. || 69 || In this Jambudvipa, in the Bharat Kshetra, there is a country called Magadha. In it is the city of Rajagriha, which is superior even to Indrapuri. || 70 || This is the home of the kings who were born from heaven. Therefore, its name Rajagriha is meaningful, in terms of the wealth of enjoyment and enjoyment. || 71 || Once, Vishvabhuuti was the lord of that city of Rajagriha. His queen's name was Jaini. They had a son who was known as Vishvanandi, because he was of a nature that brought joy to all. || 72 || Vishvabhuuti had a younger brother named Visakhabuuti. His wife's name was Lakshmana, and they had a son named Visakha-nandi. || 73 || Vishvabhuuti left his kingdom to his younger brother and went for tapasya. Visakhabuuti, who had made all the kings bow down, ruled and protected the people. || 74 || In that city of Rajagriha, there was a beautiful garden called Nandan, adorned with various creepers, vines, and trees. This garden was dearer to Vishvanandi than his own life. || 75 || The son of Visakhabuuti, by scolding the forest guards, forcibly took possession of that forest. This led to a battle between the two - Vishvanandi and Visakha-nandi. || 76 || Visakha-nandi could not bear the battle, so he fled. Seeing this, Vishvanandi became detached and thought, "Damn this delusion!" || 77 || He left everything and went to the presence of the Sambhuta Guru. He made his uncle Visakhabuuti his predecessor and took diksha. || 78 || He was endowed with good conduct and virtues, and he performed tapasya by fasting. Once, he went to Mathurapuri to eat. || 79 || [This verse seems to be inserted.]
