In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, it is said that after becoming a lion, he was afflicted by hunger, thirst, wind, heat, rain, etc. (19) Being tormented, he again ate flesh by killing animals. Being cruel, he accumulated sin and went to the first hell. (19) Then, arising from there, carrying such cruelty, he again eagerly engaged in great sin for suffering. (193) Alas, your ignorance has grown so much that due to its influence, you do not know the truth. Hearing this, he was reminded of his past life. (194) Immediately, he remembered his past life and was overwhelmed by the terrible suffering of the cycle of birth and death. His whole body trembled with fear, and tears flowed from his eyes. (195) Tears flowed from his eyes for a long time, as if the falsehood was being expelled from his heart to make room for right belief. (196) The sorrow that arises from repentance for those who remember their past lives is not experienced by anyone else. (197) Seeing that his heart was calm and he was looking at him, the sage said, "This one will surely take his own good now." (198) In the past, you were Pururava, a hunter, and then, by practicing dharma, you became a god in the Saudharma heaven. From there, you descended to this earth and became Marichi, a very evil-minded being. (199) You corrupted the right path and promoted the wrong path. You disregarded the words of Vrishabha Swami and wandered in the world. Due to the accumulation of sins, you experienced the suffering of birth, old age, and death, and you endured the intense suffering of separation from the beloved and association with the unloved for a long time. You wandered in the realms of the immobile and mobile beings for countless years. (200-202) For some reason, you attained the state of Vishvanandi and then, by practicing restraint, you attained the position of Triprishtha Narayana. (203) From here, in your tenth birth, you will be the last Tirthankara. I have heard all this from Shridhara Tirthankara. (204) O wise one, from today onwards, abandon the wrong path that leads to the forest of the cycle of birth and death, and delight in the path that benefits the soul, and remain absorbed in it. (205) If you desire your own welfare and want to be in the highest abode of the world, then have faith in the teachings of the Agamas. (206)
