254 The Great Purana, the Uttara Purana, is a great burden for the Yadava kingdom, fit for its own family. Having gone to the forest mountain, he worshipped Ganesha. Seeing the newly initiated prince and the son of the minister, he said, "I have committed a great sin, please forgive me both of you." Hearing the king's words, the newly initiated monks said, "You are the guru of both our worlds, you have bestowed this restraint upon us." Thus, having received praise from both of them, the king renounced all possessions and took restraint along with many kings. || 136-137 || Gradually, they destroyed the remaining destructive karmas that were the destroyers of delusion, and having attained the light of omniscience, they shone brightly in the forefront of the world. || 140 || Here, upholding excellent character, both the princes were outside the city of Khadgapur, taking the sun bath yoga and abandoning attachment to the body. || 141 || At that time, the king of Khadgapur city was named Soma Prabha. He had two wives named Sudarshana and Sita. They had two sons, Suprabha and Purushottama, who possessed excellent radiance and were superior to men in virtue. Of these, Purushottama was Narayana, who, having destroyed the anti-Narayana named Madhusudana by conquering the directions, was entering the city. Humans, Vidyadharas, and Devas were increasing his glory, and his body was full of radiance. || 141-144 || Seeing him entering the city, the ignorant Chandrachula Muni (the prince's jiva) became dejected. In the end, when life ended, both the monks performed four types of worship. One of them became a deva named Vijay in the Kanakaprabha chariot of the heaven of Sanatkumara, and the other became a deva named Manichula in the Maniprabha chariot. There, their excellent lifespan was like an ocean. After enjoying the pleasures there for a long time, they fell from there. || 145-147 || Then, in the city of Banaras in this Bharat Kshetra, King Dasharatha ruled. He had a queen named Subala. She saw a good dream, and from her womb, on the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of the month of Phalguna, in the Magha constellation, was born a promising Balabhadra, a deva named Suvarna Chula, who was the jiva of the minister's son. His lifespan was thirteen thousand years, his name was Rama, and he had subdued all people. King Dasharatha had another queen named Kaikeyi. She saw a lake, the sun, the moon, a field of paddy, and 1 Bhubhujam Kha. 1 Chaturvidham Ka, Pa.
