With Hindi Commentary.
There. He was so famous for these works that people from all over the country came here to learn these arts. His fame spread everywhere. Outside the city, in the Ishaan corner, there was a Yaksha shrine of a Yaksha named Gun-Sheel. It was famous everywhere for its grandeur and attractiveness. People from all over the country came to see it. Around this Chaitya was a garden, which was famous by the same name. In the middle of that garden was an Ashoka tree, around which were many trees. Under it was a stone slab in the shape of a throne. The garden was surrounded by very beautiful creepers and trees.
In the city of Rajgriha, a king named Shrenik, endowed with all the royal qualities, ruled. Due to his prowess, there was peace in the whole country and the people were experiencing uninterrupted happiness.
Once the king took a bath and, for the vigor of his body, had an oil massage and performed a sacrifice. After that, to remove inauspicious things like Kautuk (tilak on the forehead), Mangal (auspicious things like Siddharthak Dadhyakshtaadi) and bad dreams, he touched the ground with his foot and wore various types of jewels and gold ornaments around his neck. He wore an eighteen-stringed necklace, a nine-stringed half-necklace and a three-stringed necklace. He adorned his body with a waist belt and then wore all the ornaments of his neck. He adorned his fingers with jewel-studded gold rings. He wore jewel-studded Veer-Vali on his feet. Thus, adorned with ornaments from head to toe, he began to look as beautiful as a Kalpavriksha. Then, wearing a canopy adorned with garlands of flowers from the Sakoranta tree, he came out of the bathhouse and began to look as beautiful as the moon emerging from the clouds. From there, he came to the place where the Upasthan-shala (court) was, where his royal throne was, and sat on that high throne facing east. He called the royal officials and said to them:
Go now, you Dev-Anuppiya! Go from this Rajgriha city, to the Jah-Aramaani, the Ujjaanaani, the Aasanaani, the Aayatanaani, the Dev-Kulaani, the Sabhaao, the Pavaao.
