## Chapter Forty-Five
The queen, who was like a treasure-filled earth, or the eastern sky with the rising sun, or the sun itself, was seen by the king, bringing joy to his eyes. || 63 ||
Seeing the king, the queen tried to rise, but the king stopped her, saying, "O Queen, stay seated." || 64 ||
The king, sitting on the same bed with the queen, spent a long time in joy, conversing with her with appropriate words, and then, with a sense of shyness, departed. || 65 ||
After some days, as a result of past good deeds, or the auspicious position of the Guru, Shukra, and other auspicious planets, the queen gave birth to a son, just as the east gives birth to the sun, the autumn season gives birth to ripe grain, and fame gives birth to great renown. || 66-67 ||
The king's relatives, recognizing the auspiciousness of the son, whose fortune was growing and who was worthy of all prosperity, named him Shrivarma. || 68 ||
The birth of the son brought joy to the king, just as a swooning person finds joy in regaining consciousness, a poor person finds joy in receiving treasure, and a king with a small army finds joy in victory. || 69 ||
The radiance of the son's body made the lamps of jewels, whose brilliance had been extinguished, useless in the assembly hall at night. || 70 ||
The son's body grew according to the principles of medical science, and his intellect, which performed good deeds, grew according to the principles of grammar and other sciences. || 71 ||
Just as this Jambudvipa is adorned by the lofty Mount Meru, so too was this king, the protector of the earth, adorned by his excellent son, who was full of prosperity. || 72 ||
One day, the Jina, named Shri Padma, descended by his own will into the garden of the Shivaṅkara forest. Hearing this news from the forest guard, the king went seven steps in that direction, bowed his head, and then, with great humility, went to the Jina, circumambulated him three times, prostrated himself, and sat down in his proper place. The king asked the Jina about the nature of Dharma, learned the truth of things according to his teachings, quickly abandoned his desire for worldly pleasures, and devoted his mind to the desire for Dharma. He then gave his kingdom to his son Shrivarma and went to the abode of the Jina. || 73-76 ||
