रहनेवाले विभीषणको सम्बोधा था ॥२८१ ।। वह प्रतिबोधको प्राप्त हुआ और वहाँ से निकलकर इसी जम्बूद्वीपके ऐरावत क्षेत्रकी अयोध्या नगरीके राजा श्रीवर्माकी सुसीमा देवीके श्रीधर्मा नामका पुत्र हुआ। और वयस्क होने पर अनन्त नामक मुनिराजसे संयम ग्रहण कर ब्रह्मस्वर्गमें आठ दिव्य गुणोंसे विभूषित देव हुआ। वज्रायुधका जीव जो सर्वार्थसिद्धिमें अहमिन्द्र हुआ था वहाँसे आकर संजयन्त हुआ॥२८२-२८४ ॥ श्रीधर्माका जीव ब्रह्मस्वर्गसे आकर तू जयन्त हुआ था और निदान बाँधकर मोह-कर्मके उदयसे धरणीन्द्र हुआ ॥२८५ ॥ सत्यघोषका जीव सातवीं पृथिवीसे निकल कर जघन्य आयुका धारक साँप हुआ और फिर तीसरे नरक गया ।। २८६ ।। वहाँ से निकल कर त्रस स्थावर रूप तिर्यंच गतिमें भ्रमण करता रहा। एक बार भूतरमण नामक वनके मध्यमें एराक्ती नदीके किनारे गोशृङ्ग नामक तापसकी शकिका नामक स्त्रीके मृगशृङ्ग नामका पुत्र हुआ। वह विरक्त होकर पश्चाग्नि तप कर रहा था कि इतनेमें वहाँ से दिव्यतिलक नगरका राजा अंशुमाल नामका विद्याधर निकला उसे देखकर उस । निदान बन्ध किया ॥२८७-२८६ ।। अन्तमें मर कर इसी भरतक्षेत्रके विजयाध पर्वतकी उत्तर श्रेणी-सम्बन्धी गगनवल्लभ नगरके राजा वनदंष्ट्र विद्याधरको विद्युत्प्रभा रानीके विद्युदंष्ट्र नामका पुत्र हुअा। इसने पूर्व वैरके संस्कारसे कर्मबंध कर चिरकाल तक दुःख पाये और आगे भी पावेगा ।। २६०-२६१ ।। इस प्रकार कर्मके वश होकर यह जीव परिवर्तन करता रहता है । पिता पुत्र हो जाता है, पुत्र माता हो जाता है, माता भाई हो जाती है, भाई बहन हो जाता है और बहन नाती हो जाती है सो ठीक ही है क्योंकि इस संसारमें बन्धुजनोंके सम्बन्धकी स्थिरता ही क्या है ? इस संसारमें किसने किसका अपकार नहीं किया और किसने किसका उपकार नहीं किया ? इसलिए वैर बाँधकर पापका बन्ध मत करो। हे नागराज-हे धरणेन्द्र ! वैर छोड़ो और विद्युदंष्ट्रको भी छोड़ दो ।।२६२-२६४ ॥ इस प्रकार उस देवके वचनरूप अमृतकी वर्षासे धरणेन्द्र बहुत ही संतुष्ट हुआ। वह कहने लगा कि हे देव ! तुम्हारे प्रसादसे आज मैं समीचीन धर्मका श्रद्धान करता हूँ ॥ २६५ ।। किन्तु इस विद्युदंष्टने जो यह पापका आचरण किया है वह विद्याके बलसे ही किया है इसलिए मैं इसकी तथा इसके वंशकी महाविद्याको छीन लेता हूँ' यह कहा ॥ २६६ ।। उसके वचन सुनकर वह देव धरणेन्द्रसे फिर कहने लगा कि आपको

Having known the Uttara Purana of the Mahapurana, he then departed from this island to the city of Vijaya. He was the king of Ayodhya, the great city of the Airavata. || 282 || His queen was Susima, the daughter of Srivarma. Their son was Sri Dharma, who, upon reaching adulthood, took the vows of renunciation from the Muni Ananta. || 283 || In the Brahma Kalpa, he became a god, adorned with eight divine qualities. He was the lord of all attainments, the victor, and he was known as Vajrayudha. || 284 || Having come from the Brahma Kalpa, you, O Jayanta, became the lord of the earth, but due to the binding of karma, you were born as a Naga king, your right knowledge lost in delusion. || 285 || The being who was Satyaghoṣa, having departed from the seventh earth, became a serpent, a bearer of a wretched lifespan, and then went to the third hell. || 286 || From there, he departed and wandered through the realms of the Tiryancha and the stationary beings. In the forest of Bhutaraman, on the banks of the Airavati river, he was born as the son of Mrigashringa, a hunter, to the woman named Shakika, the wife of the sage Goshringa. He was detached and performed the five-fire penance. || 287 || While performing his penance, he saw the Vidyaadhara Anshumala, the king of the divine city of Tilka, and he made a binding of karma with him. || 288 || After death, he was born in the city of Gaganavallabha, in the northern range of the Vijayaadha mountain, as the son of the Vidyaadhara Vanadamshtra, the king of the city, and his queen, Vidyutrbha. He was named Vidyudamshtra, and due to the influence of his past enmity, he was bound by karma and will suffer for a long time, and will suffer further. || 289 || Thus, bound by karma, this being continues to change. The father becomes the son, the son becomes the mother, the mother becomes the brother, the brother becomes the sister, and the sister becomes the grandchild. This is the nature of the relationship of kinship in this world. Who has not wronged whom, and who has not benefited whom? || 290 || Therefore, do not bind yourself with sin by harboring enmity. O Naga king, O lord of the earth, abandon enmity, and let Vidyudamshtra be freed as well. || 291 || Thus, the king of the serpents was greatly comforted by the rain of nectar that was the words of the god. He said, "O god, by your grace, I have faith in the true Dharma. || 292 || But this Vidyudamshtra, who has committed this sin, has done so by the power of his knowledge. Therefore, I will take away his great knowledge, and the knowledge of his lineage." || 293 || Hearing these words, the god said to the lord of the serpents, "You should not do this." || 294 ||
