The 74th chapter of the book, the glorious lord of the birds, the jewel of the Jain world, the king who delights his people, the king of the city of Rathnapur, the famous Jwalanajati, the sun of the Namic dynasty, respectfully greets the great king Prajapati, the lord of the city of Podanpur, born from the lineage of the mighty Bahubali, who arose from the Adibharata, with a bow of respect and a question of well-being. He humbly requests, "Our marriage alliance is not new, as it has been established through our lineage for generations. There is no need to examine the virtues and flaws of our lineages today, as both our lineages are pure and renowned, like the sun and moon. My daughter, Swayamprabha, who is like Lakshmi born in three parts, may she be the wife of your nephew, Triprutha, and may she, through her own qualities, bring great joy to him."
Prajapati Maharaj, upon hearing his brother's words, pleased his minister by saying, "What is pleasing to Jwalanajati is pleasing to me." He then bid farewell to the minister with great respect and honor. The minister, upon reaching his lord, immediately informed him of all the news.
Jwalanajati, along with his companion Sarkakirti, quickly brought Swayamprabha and presented her to Triprutha with great pomp and ceremony, thus performing the marriage.
Along with this, Jwalanajati, according to the prescribed method, also bestowed upon Triprutha two Vidya (knowledge) named Singhvahinī and Garuda vahinī, who are known for their power and are Siddhas (perfected beings).
Meanwhile, Ashvagriva, upon hearing this news through his spies, was consumed by the fire of anger. With the desire to wage war, he arrived at the mountain of Rathavarta, surrounded by Vidya-dharas, masters of the three Vidya, skilled in the art of warfare, and numerous warriors equipped with various weapons, ready to confront the enemy.
Upon hearing of Ashvagriva's advance, Triprutha, who was extremely harsh towards his enemies, also arrived there with his four-fold army, ready for battle.
The two, ready for war, extremely arrogant, covered the sun with their arrows, along with their fellow archers, and with their horses, chariots, elephants, and infantry, engaged in battle, forming their armies according to the prescribed formations.
