The Mahapurana, Uttara Purana, states that the Khatrayana sect consumed Varaha meat. He was happy due to mental contemplation and his knowledge extended to the sixth earth, Tamas Prabha. His strength, activity, and brilliance also extended to that earth. After enjoying happiness for a long time, he became ready to come to this middle world. ||15||
In the southern part of this Jambudvipa, in the city of Ayodhya, the great king Singhasena, a descendant of Ikshvaku and belonging to the Kashyapa gotra, ruled. ||16|| His queen was named Jayashyama. The gods showered the best nectar on her house for six months. ||17||
On the first day of the dark fortnight of Kartik, in the morning, in the Revati constellation, he saw an elephant entering his mouth after seeing sixteen dreams. ||18|| The king, who had the knowledge of the future, understood the meaning of those dreams. At that time, Achyutendra entered her womb, and she was filled with great joy. ||19||
Then the gods performed the auspicious ceremony of the descent to heaven and worshipped King Singhasena and Queen Jayashyama with clothes, garlands, and large ornaments. ||20|| Jayashyama's womb grew happily. After nine months, on the twelfth day of the dark fortnight of Jyestha, in the Pushya yoga, she gave birth to a virtuous son. ||21||
At that time, Indra came and performed the coronation of that son on Mount Meru and, with great joy, named him Anantjit, a meaningful name. ||22||
After the time of Sri Vimalnath Bhagwan, nine oceans and one and a half Palyas had passed, and when the Dharma was about to end, Bhagwan Anant Jinendra was born. His lifespan was included in this interval. ||23||
His lifespan was three lakh years, his body was fifty dhanus high, his color was like shining gold, and he possessed all the auspicious signs. ||24||
Bhagwan Anantnath, who was worshipped by humans, Vidyadharas, and gods, received his coronation after seven lakh fifty thousand years had passed. ||25||
After fifteen lakh years of his reign, one day, he saw a meteor shower and attained true knowledge. ||26||
He thought, "This vine of evil deeds has originated from the seed of ignorance, is supported by the earth of unrestraint, is watered by the water of carelessness, and its trunk is made of the kshaya, a thick branch. It has grown due to the support of yoga, and it has been separated by the movement of the Tiryanch. It is covered with the flower of old age, and it is like a badam tree. ||27||
