## The Trishatitam Parva
In this island of Bharat, where the celestial beings rest in their ranks, there lived a Vidyadhara king named Meghavahana, the lord of the sky, in the city of Gaganavallabha. || 29 ||
His queen, Meghamalini, bore him a son named Meghanaada, the lord of birds. He ruled over two ranks and enjoyed pleasures for a long time. || 30 ||
Once, while Meghanaada was perfecting his knowledge in the Nandana forest on Mount Meru, he was enlightened by the liberated soul, Achyutesha. || 31 ||
Having attained enlightenment, he took refuge in the great sage, Suramaraguru, and followed the excellent secrets and assemblies for a long time. || 32 ||
One day, this same sage was residing on Mount Nandana, practicing the image yoga. Meanwhile, Sukantha, the younger brother of Ashvagriva, had wandered through the ocean of existence for a long time and attained the state of an Asura. He emerged from there and, upon seeing the great sage, was filled with anger and inflicted various kinds of torments. || 33-34 ||
However, this wicked being was unable to even slightly shake the firm vows of the sage. He disappeared, as if hidden by a veil of shame. || 35 ||
The sage, having renounced worldly life, became the chief of the celestial beings in Achyuta heaven at the end of his life. He enjoyed the pleasures of the celestial realm with Indra, with whom he had great affection. || 36 ||
The liberated soul who had become Indra was previously born in the eastern Videha region of this Jambudvipa, in the city of Ratnasamchaya. He was born as the son of King Kshemakara and his queen, Kanakachitra, a virtuous and intelligent being, shining like lightning in the clouds. || 37-38 ||
At his birth, actions like Aadhāna, Preeti, Supreeti, Dhriti, Moh, and Priyodhbhava were performed. || 39 ||
His birth brought great joy to everyone, just like his mother. Indeed, what is the light of the sun but a reflection of its own essence? || 40 ||
His body grew with all its beauty and splendor. Just as a god is adorned with natural ornaments, he was adorned with natural virtues. || 41 ||
Anankhaviyaka, a Jiva, was a resident of the hell called Marakara Dharanendra. He went to hell and explained to Anantvirya, who, upon understanding, attained the jewel of Samyagdarshan. After completing his allotted lifespan, he was released from hell due to the diminishing of his sins. He was born as the son of Meghamalini, the queen of Meghavahana, the Vidyadhara king of Gaganavallabha, a famous city in the northern range of Mount Vijaya in the Bharat region of Jambudvipa. He ruled over both ranks and enjoyed pleasures for a long time. || 28-30 ||
