## The Great Purana, Uttara Purana The foolish one, disregarding the advice, entered the ocean by boat. At that time, all the treasures, each guarded by a thousand Yaksha, left his house. Knowing this, the merchant-enemy, disguised as a merchant, took his enemy king to the middle of the ocean. There, he revealed his previous birth as the king's cook, uttered many harsh words, and killed him in a cruel and unusual way, fulfilling his past enmity. Even the great emperor Subhauma, at the end of his life, became absorbed in fierce meditation and was born in hell. What cannot happen due to foolishness? Sahastrabahu, due to greed, along with his son, was born as a lower animal. The two sons of Jamadagni, who were devoted to violence, were born in hell. Therefore, wise people abandon both attachment and aversion. By abandoning them, wise people attain the highest state in the present, past, and future. ## Vasantatilaka Even though he was like a lion, a single king, the eighth emperor Subhauma, who ruled the entire earth, killed the two sons of Jamadagni, who had killed his father. He illuminated all directions with his glory, but due to his bad conduct, he was born in hell. The life of the emperor Subhauma was first as a king named Bhupala. Then, he performed severe austerities and became the god Maha Shukra in heaven, with a lifespan of sixteen oceans. From there, he fell and became the emperor Subhauma, who killed Parashurama, and finally, he became the lord of hell. In the same time period, Nandishena Balabhadra and Pundarika Narayana were born as princes. The life of Pundarika, in the third existence, performed austerities with Shalya, under the guidance of Suketu, and at the end of his life, he became a god in heaven. From there, he fell, and after six hundred crore years, he became the emperor Subhauma.
