Mahapuraana, Uttara Puraana
Triprishta and Vijay, who were like the moon and the sun, were victorious in battle and became rulers of half of the Bharat Kshetra. || 145 || They were crowned by the kings, the celestial beings, the Vyantaras, and the Magadhas. Triprishta became the supreme ruler of the earth. || 146 || Triprishta, the first of the Narayanas, was delighted to give the rulership of both the श्रेणियों to the father of Swayamprabha. What is impossible for those who have the blessings of the great ones? || 147 || The seven jewels of Narayana were the sword, conch, bow, discus, spear, staff, and mace. They were protected by the group of gods. || 148 || The jewel garland, the shining plough, the mace, and the club were the four great jewels of Balabhadra, who attained liberation. || 149 || Narayana had sixteen thousand wives, starting with Swayamprabha, and Balabhadra had eight thousand wives, all endowed with beauty and virtues. || 150 || The celestial being Jwalanaji gave his daughter, Jyotirmaala, to the prince Arkakirti in a Prajapati marriage, with great pomp and ceremony. || 151 || Arkakirti and Jyotirmaala had a son named Amitateja and a daughter named Sutara. These two siblings were as beautiful as the lines of the moon on the fifteenth day of the bright fortnight. || 152 || Triprishta Narayana had a son named Srivijaya from his queen Swayamprabha, followed by a son named Vijayabhadra and a daughter named Jyotirbha. || 153 || The great king Prajapati, who had attained great prosperity, was overcome by dispassion and went to the guru Pihiitasrava, renounced all his possessions, and took on the form of the Jinesvara, which leads to the attainment of the nature of the blissful, supreme Self. || 154-155 || The muni Prajapati, who was constantly engaged in the twelve types of austerities, consisting of six external and six internal, performed austerities for a long time and at the end of his life, he stabilized his mind and gradually renounced the states of false belief, non-restraint, carelessness, attachment, and the state of being bound by karma. He attained the highest state of liberation. || 156-157 || When the king of the celestial beings, Jwalanaji, heard this news, he gave his kingdom to Arkakirti and took the Digambara vows in the presence of the Jannanandan muni. || 158 || He did not beg, he did not accept anything without giving, he was simple, he renounced everything, he did not desire anything,
