Hearing this message, the Kumar, the son of the king, said, "This is indeed true." Many Samantas, honoring him, joined him. || 664 ||
Then, with his army prepared, the Kumar himself attacked the enemy. He fought in many ways and defeated the enemy army for a long time. || 665 ||
The Kumar, intoxicated with pride and extremely powerful, rode the elephant named Vijayagiri. The enemy was riding the arrogant, powerful elephant named Asani Vega, whose intelligence had been buried for a long time. The Kumar, filled with anger, killed the enemy, Asani Vega, with his chakra. Seeing this, the enemy army fled in fear. Then, the Kumar reassured them and declared peace. || 666-668 ||
Then, the Kumar called all his brothers and, seeing them humble, made them happy with appropriate words and actions. || 669 ||
After the worship of the Jina, auspicious ceremonies were performed. Then, the Yaksha and all the kings together performed the coronation of the Kumar. After that, he had a grand wedding with Ratnawati and tied the crown of the queen on Gandharvadatta. || 670-671 ||
He brought his mother Vijaya and other women like Hemama. With them all, the Kumar attained supreme sovereignty. He was extremely powerful and his enemies were destroyed. He ruled all his subjects justly, protecting them and fulfilling their desires. He enjoyed the pleasures he had received effortlessly as the fruits of his good deeds. || 672-673 ||
One day, the king was wandering in the garden called Suramalaya. There, he saw the Muni named Vardharma. He went near him and bowed down. He learned the nature of the truth from him and, taking vows, purified his right vision. His brothers, Nanda, Adhya, etc., also took the vows of right vision and right conduct. In this way, the Kumar spent his time happily with his close companions. Then, one day, he went to the Ashoka forest. There, he saw two groups of monkeys fighting with their anger burning. He became detached from the world. In the middle of that forest, there was a Charana Muni named Prashastavanka. The Kumar respectfully paid his respects to him and, according to what he had heard before, listened to the lineage of his past lives. || 674-678 ||
