The Mahapurana, Uttara Purana, states that Triprishtha Narayana, who enjoyed many beginnings and many possessions, spent a long time with those women and then reached the seventh earth, the seventh hell. Similarly, Ashvagriva Pratinarayana also went to the seventh hell. || 95 ||
Balabhadra, grieved by his brother's suffering, took samayam (vow of non-attachment) at that time from the yogi-indra named Suvarna Kumbha and gradually became an anegarakevali (a liberated soul). || 96 ||
Look, Triprishtha and Vijay ruled together and enjoyed unparalleled happiness for a long time, but Triprishtha, the abode of all suffering, reached the seventh hell, and Balabhadra, the abode of happiness, went to the top of the three worlds and resided there. Therefore, this evil karma, which is unfavorable, is to be condemned. Who can be a partaker of happiness in this world until this karma is destroyed? || 97 ||
Triprishtha, first became a king named Vishvanandi, then a deva in the Maha Shukra heaven, then an Ardhacharki-Narayana named Triprishtha, and then, accumulating sins, went to the seventh hell. || 98 ||
Balabhadra, first was a king named Vishakhabhuti, then became a muni and a deva in the Maha Shukra heaven, then, falling from there, became Balabhadra named Vijay, and then, destroying the world, attained the state of Paramatma. || 99 ||
Pratinarayana, first was a king named Vishakhanandi, then, losing his glory, died and wandered in the world for a long time, then became a Vidyadhara named Ashvagriva, who, being an enemy of Triprishtha Narayana, attained the downward path, the hellish path. || 100 ||
Thus, in the Trishatshalakshan Mahapurana, compiled by Bhagavadguna Bhadracharya, the Purana of the Shreyansanatha Tirthankara, Triprishtha Narayana, Vijay Balabhadra, and Ashvagriva Pratinarayana, the fifty-seventh chapter is complete.
