The Seventy-Seventh Chapter
341
In the same northern range of the Vijay mountain, in the city of Arindama, there lived a king named Arinjay. His queen was named Ajit Sena, and they had a daughter named Pritimathi. She had conquered all the Vidyadharas by making three circumambulations of Mount Meru, leaving behind the Chinta Gati. ||30-31||
After this, Chinta Gati, having conquered her with his speed, said, "Accept my younger brother with a garland of jewels." Hearing this, Pritimathi said, "I will not place this garland around the neck of anyone other than the one who has conquered me." In response, Chinta Gati said, "Since you fought the Gati battle with my younger brothers with the desire to obtain them, you are therefore to be abandoned by me." Hearing these words of Chinta Gati, she became detached from the world and went to the Aryika named Vivritta and took up excellent austerities. Seeing this, many people there became detached and took initiation. ||32-35||
Seeing this courage of the girl, Chinta Gati, who had developed dispassion, also went to the Guru named Damavara along with his two younger brothers and took up restraint. Having obtained the teachings and purifications, the three brothers became Samajik Jati Devas in the fourth heaven. ||36-37||
Having enjoyed many pleasures there for the lifespan of seven oceans, they were born again. The two younger brothers were born in the Videha region of the eastern part of Jambudvipa, in the Pushkala country, on the northern bank of the Vijay mountain. In the city of Gaganavallabha, there lived a king named Gaganchandra and his queen Gagan Sundari. We, Amitmati and Amittej, were born as their sons. We were both endowed with all three types of knowledge. ||38-40||
On another day, we both went to the city of Pundarikinya. There, we asked the Tirthankara Shri Swayamprabha about our previous three births. Then, the Lord Swayamprabha told us the whole story as it was. After that, we both asked, "Where is our elder brother born now?" In response, the Lord said, "He is born in the city of Singhapura, his name is Aparajit, and he is shining, ruling his own kingdom." ||41-43||
Hearing this, we both went to the same Swayamprabha
