[93 Prophecy of Krishna becoming a Tirthankara]
4-Then Krishna Vasudeva asked the Arhat Arishthanemi, "O Venerable One! Where will I go and where will I be born at the time of my death?" Then the Arhat Arishthanemi said to Krishna Vasudeva,
"O Krishna! You will be destroyed by the wrath of the gods, fire, and Dvaipayana. After the destruction of your city of Dwaraka, and the separation from your parents and relatives, you will go with Rama and Balarama towards the southern sea coast, near the five Pandavas, the sons of Panduraja, towards Pandu Mathura. On the way, you will rest in the Kaushambavan garden, under a very large banyan tree, on a stone slab, wearing a yellow robe. At that time, a sharp arrow, shot by Jarakumar, mistaking you for a deer, will pierce your left foot. Pierced by this sharp arrow, you will die at the time of your death, and your body will be illuminated by the light of the sand. You will be reborn in the human world, in the land of Valukaprabha.
Then Krishna Vasudeva thought about this and became very sad.
Krishna! The Arhat Arishthanemi said to Krishna Vasudeva, "O Devānuppaiya! Do not be sad. You will be reborn in the human world, in the land of Valukaprabha, and after that, you will be born in Jambudvipa, in the land of Bharata, in the city of Ayodhya, in the family of the Pusundas, in the lineage of the Janavas, in the twelfth city, named Amme. There, you will live for many years, and you will attain Kevalijñāna, and you will become a Tirthankara. You will be liberated from all suffering.
Then Krishna Vasudeva thought about this and became very happy. He jumped up and down, and then he broke a branch of a tree, and then he made a lion's roar, and then he bowed down to the Arhat Arishthanemi, and then he was crowned by the Arhat Arishthanemi. Then he went to the twelfth city, and then he went to the hundred houses, and then he went to the hundred thrones. He sat on the throne, facing east, and then he spoke to the people of the city.
Then Krishna Vasudeva asked the Arhat Arishthanemi, "O Venerable One! Where will I go and where will I be born at the time of my death?" In response, the Arhat Arishthanemi said,
"O Krishna! You will be destroyed by the wrath of the gods, fire, and Dvaipayana. After the destruction of your city of Dwaraka, and the separation from your parents and relatives, you will go with Rama and Balarama towards the southern sea coast, near the five Pandavas, the sons of Panduraja, towards Pandu Mathura. On the way, you will rest in the Kaushambavan garden, under a very large banyan tree, on a stone slab, wearing a yellow robe. At that time, a sharp arrow, shot by Jarakumar, mistaking you for a deer, will pierce your left foot. Pierced by this sharp arrow, you will die at the time of your death, and your body will be illuminated by the light of the sand. You will be reborn in the human world, in the land of Valukaprabha.
