The fifty-seventh chapter, having performed the worship of the Jina, is about the purity of Vardhamana. The arrival of the victorious Jina in the garden of Sura and Malaya. ||79|| Having heard of his glory and having worshipped the Supreme Lord, he gave the kingdom to Vasundhara Kumar, the son of Mahadevi Gandharvadatta, according to the rules. ||18|| Vasundhara Kumar, whose delusion was extinguished and whose mind was vast, along with his maternal uncles and other kings, and Nanda, Madhura, and others, renounced all attachments and embraced asceticism. ||681|| For those who are kings, enjoyments and pleasures are ultimately abandoned. ||682|| Gandharvadatta and the other queens, who had embraced the right faith, along with their mothers, adopted the excellent asceticism near Chandana, along with Satyadhara Mahadevi's wife Vijaya. ||683|| For one great man becomes the cause of the fulfillment of the desires of many. ||684|| The Muni, Jivandhara, who you inquired about, O King, is a great ascetic and is currently an Atkevali. ||685|| Having destroyed his karmas, he will become a Grihakevali and, after dwelling with the Tirthankara, will attain liberation on the Vipula mountain, having destroyed all his karmas. ||686|| There, he will be complete in the eight qualities, fulfilled, and free from the stain of karmas. ||687|| Hearing this nectar-like speech of the Ganadhara, Sudharma, the king was pleased. For whose sake is Dharma not done? ||688||
I bow down to Jivandhara, the Lord of Lakshmi, with folded hands, who, by the merit of his past deeds, gave eight daughters to others, which is rare; who sent his father's murderer to the other world in battle; who, having renounced the world, destroyed the darkness of karmas and shone with the light of liberation. ||689||
After spending sixteen days in the house of his wife, he renounced his worldly life and, with compassion, left his parents. ||689||
