King Akala-Varsha, who had destroyed all his enemies and was adorned with glorious fame, was protecting the entire earth. || 31 ||
He, who was like the moon in his brilliance, whose fame was like the sun, who had destroyed the darkness of his enemies, and who was the descendant of the great Mukula dynasty, was the king of the world, Lokaditya. || 32 ||
He was the descendant of the Chella flag, the son of Chella-Dhwaja, and the grandson of Chella-Ketan. He was the propagator of the Jain religion and was known for his vast and brilliant fame. || 33 ||
He was enjoying the entire kingdom of Vanavasa, free from all troubles, for a long time. He was known for his father's name and was the ruler of the great city of Vankapur. || 34 ||
In the year 820 of the Saka era, on the fifth day of the bright half of Shravana, on Thursday, when the moon was in the Ardra constellation, Saturn was in Gemini, Mars was in Sagittarius, Rahu was in Libra, the sun and Venus were in Cancer, and Jupiter was in Taurus, this Uttarapurana was completed. On that day, the Bhavyajiva performed its worship. Thus, this most excellent and auspicious Purana is victorious in the world. || 35-36 ||
As long as the earth, the sky, the moon, the sun, Mount Meru, and the divisions of the directions exist, this holy Mahapurana will remain in the words, minds, and ears of the virtuous. That is, virtuous people will discuss it in their words, contemplate it in their hearts, and listen to its story with their ears. || 37 ||
In this Mahapurana, there is Dharma Shastra, the path to liberation, poetry, and the biographies of the Tirthankaras. Or, the words that have come out of the lotus mouth of the poet king Jinasena, do not captivate the minds of anyone. || 38 ||
