The Sixty-First Parva

Madhura, the wife of the Brahmin Mrgayana, also passed away, and from them, both Purnachandra and Hiranyavati, you were born, named Ramadatta. From your affection, Seth Bhadramitra had a son named Singhchandra. This Purnachandra is the reincarnation of Varuni. Your father received initiation from Bhadrabahu, and I received initiation from him, thus your father became the guru of both of us.
210-211
Your mother received initiation from Dantamati, and you received initiation from Hiranyavati. Today, you have peace of all kinds. King Singhsen was bitten by a snake and died, becoming an elephant named Ashanighosha in the forest. One day, this intoxicated elephant was roaming in the forest, and I was there. Seeing me, he wanted to kill me. I had the power of aerial locomotion, so I stood in the sky and explained to him his past life. He understood everything properly, and that noble being immediately took the vows of Samyama and Asamyam.

Now his mind is completely peaceful, he remains detached, constantly contemplating the impermanence of the body and other things, and he continuously observes fasts for a month, taking only dry leaves as his food.

In this way, that great-souled elephant, performing severe austerities for a long time, became very weak. One day, he went to drink water at the bank of the river Yupakesarini. Seeing him, the being who had become a deer and then a cock-snake in the life of Sribhutisatyaghoṣa, climbed onto the elephant's head and bit him. He died from the poison. Since he died in a state of meditation, he became a god named Ravipriya in the Sahasrar heaven. Dharmila, the Brahmin, whom King Singhsen had made his minister after Sribhutisatyaghoṣa, became a monkey in the same forest at the end of his life. This monkey was friendly with the aforementioned elephant, so he killed the cock-snake, causing it to be born in the third hell. The hunter, Shrigalaavan, broke the elephant's two tusks and extracted very bright pearls from them, which he gave to the Seth Dhanamitra. The great merchant Dhanamitra gave those two tusks and pearls to King Purnachandra.
216-221
King Purnachandra had four legs made for his bed from those two tusks, and he wore a necklace made from the pearls.
