## The Seventy-Seventh Chapter
In the northern part of this Jambudvipa, there is a vast region called Airavata. In its city of Shripura, there lived a king named Vasundhara, blessed with Lakshmi. || 74 ||
His mind was deeply afflicted by the separation from Padmavati. He went to a beautiful and delightful forest, where he sought the counsel of the omniscient Varacharma. || 75 ||
He resolved to uphold the principles of Dharma and entrusted his responsibilities to his son Vinayandhara, a man of humility. He then, along with many other kings, embraced restraint and practiced rigorous austerities, ultimately attaining the status of a Deva in the Maha-Shukra heaven. || 76-77 ||
He enjoyed divine pleasures for sixteen Sagara-kalpas, but then he was reborn in the Vatsa region of this very Tirthankara's Tirtha. He was born as the son of Prabhakari, the queen of the Ikshvaku dynasty king Vijay, the ruler of Kaushambi. || 78-79 ||
He was endowed with all auspicious qualities and was named Jayasena. He lived for three thousand years, stood sixty cubits tall, had the radiance of polished gold, possessed fourteen jewels, was served by nine Nidhis, enjoyed ten types of pleasures, and was the eleventh Chakravarti. || 80-81 ||
One day, he was lying on the roof of his grand palace, surrounded by his inner court. || 82 ||
He was gazing at the sky, resembling the full moon, when he saw a meteor falling. This sight filled him with detachment, and he began to ponder: "Look, this luminous object was high above, but now it has quickly descended, losing its brilliance and leaving behind its two phases." || 83-84 ||
"My own brilliance and strength are also great," he thought, succumbing to pride. This foolish being, who did not engage in actions beneficial for his soul in the afterlife, instead remained attached to fleeting and unsatisfying worldly pleasures. Like the meteor, he too would lose his brilliance and descend into lower realms. || 85-86 ||
Reflecting on this, the Chakravarti, with his simple intellect, decided to relinquish his kingdom, including his Chakra, due to the influence of time and other factors. He wished to renounce his worldly possessions and embrace renunciation. || 87 ||
He offered his kingdom to his elder sons, but they, driven by a noble desire for spiritual pursuits, declined. He then gave it to his younger son, Varadatta. || 88 ||
