In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, the king gave his kingdom to his son, Sri Naganagavati. Sri Nagapati, along with him, drank the Dharma-rasa-ayana. ||13|| He attained great tapasya along with many kings. He studied the eleven angas according to the rules and with wisdom. ||14|| He earned the name of Tirthankara and the gotra of Upatta-bhavana. He practiced tapasya for a long time and renounced all possessions. ||15|| He was born in the Aparajita, one of the Anuttara Vimana. He had the stature of thirty-three oceans and his body was one hand high. ||16|| He breathed once after sixteen months and a half. He took mental food once after thirty-three thousand years. ||17|| His enjoyment was free from any doubt. His knowledge extended to the Lokanali. ||18|| His power, strength, and the power of his actions extended as far as his knowledge. ||19|| When his lifespan was reduced to six months, he was about to descend to earth. At that time, in the Vanga region of the Bharat Kshetra, there was a king named Kumbha, a descendant of Ikshvaku, belonging to the Kashyapa gotra. ||20|| He had a queen named Prajavati, who was like another Lakshmi. The gods had bestowed upon her unimaginable wealth and splendor. ||21|| On the first day of the bright fortnight of Chaitra, in the Ashwini Nakshatra, she saw sixteen dreams that indicated auspicious events. ||22|| At that time, the auspicious readers chanted auspicious mantras in a loud voice. The morning drum, which disturbed the sleep of the people, was beaten. ||23|| Prajavati woke up with great joy, bathed, and adorned herself in auspicious attire. Like the moon's ray reaching the moon, she went to her husband. ||24|| She was blooming like a lotus in the assembly. The king, seeing her, was delighted and offered her a seat and other things. ||25|| She sat on the half-lotus posture and narrated all the dreams to her husband. She wanted to know the auspicious results of those dreams. ||26|| The king, in order, told her the results of each dream separately. He said, "Because you saw an elephant entering your mouth, Ahmimdra will be born in your womb." ||27|| The gods, following his words, said, "It is true." ||28||
