In the Mahapurana, Uttarapurana, on the sixteenth day after the day of the abduction, just as the rainy season brings the Chatak bird together with the rain-laden clouds, the spring season brings the flower together with the mango vine, and the sunrise brings the bee together with the lotus, so too, his mother was reunited with him. || 54 ||
Thus, with many other amusements, Jayadratha's time passed continuously in happiness. One day, for some reason, he became detached from worldly pleasures. As a result, he renounced the burden of the kingdom and took up the burden of asceticism. At the end of his life, he left his body and became a god in the Sahasrar heaven. || 543-544 ||
There, he enjoyed divine pleasures for eighteen sagar kalpas. After that, he was born here again due to the ripening of his good and bad karma. || 545 ||
The servant who had killed the swan became a kaṣṭhāṅgārika (one who burns wood). And it was he who killed your father in battle before your birth. You kept the swan's child separated from its parents for sixteen days. As a result of that sin, you were separated from your brothers and sisters for sixteen years. Hearing this story told by the Vidyadhara, Jivandharakumar said, "You are my benefactor." And he honored him greatly. || 546-548 ||
Then, with great joy, he went to Hemabhanagara with everyone else. He lived there, enjoying the pleasures of love and material possessions as he wished, in the company of his beloved ones. || 549 ||
Now, another story is told, related to this one. On the day after Nanday left Rajapur, Madhura and his other friends asked Gandharvadatta, "Where have the two princes gone? You know everything, tell us." In reply, Gandharvadatta said with great respect, "Why are you worried about them? Both brothers are living happily in Hemabhanagara, in the land of the Sujan." || 550-552 ||
Knowing their location from Gandharvadatta, Madhura and all his friends were eager to see them. They asked permission from their loved ones and, with joy, set out on their journey. || 553 ||
On their way, they reached the Dandaka forest and rested in the hermitage of the ascetics. Out of curiosity, the ascetic women came to see them. Among them was Mahadevi Vijaya. Seeing them, she asked, "Who are you? Where have you come from? And where are you going?" Vijaya asked all this with great affection. || 554-555 ||
When Madhura and the others told her their whole story, she said clearly, "This is my son's family, along with his wife."
