## Chapter 232 **The Uttara Purana of the Mahapurana** Due to the separation from his beloved, Nandiṣeṇa experienced great dispassion. Inspired by this, he went to the Muni Raja named Śivaghosa and embraced restraint. || 19 || He purified himself through both external and internal austerities, becoming free from all duality. He eradicated the root and subsequent karmas, attaining liberation. || 19 || In their third birth, both were princes. They then became gods in the first heaven. Subsequently, one became Nandiṣeṇa Balabhadra and the other became Puṇḍarīka, the enemy of Niśumbha, the counter-Narayana. This was the sixth Narayana among the three-part kings, the Narayanas. || 192 || Thus ends the sixty-fifth chapter of the Triṣaṣṭi Lakṣaṇa Mahāpurāṇa Sangraha, composed by Bhagavad Guṇabhadra Ācārya, which narrates the Purāṇa of Arnatha Tīrthankara Cakravartī, Subhauma Cakravartī, Nandiṣeṇa Balabhadra, Puṇḍarīka Nārāyaṇa, and Niśumbha Pratinārāyaṇa. || 15 || **Note:** The term "Pratinārāyaṇa" is a Jain term referring to a powerful being who opposes the teachings of the Tirthankaras.
