Consume. At the insistent request of Abhaykumar, Shrenik said, "On the day I angrily tell you to get away, don't show me your face; on that day you shall become a Shraman."
Some time later, Bhagwan Mahavira arrived in Rajgriha. After seeing Bhagwan, the king was returning with Queen Chelna. On the bank of the river, King Shrenik saw a Muni meditating. The cold was very intense. The Queen's hand was outside the garment she was wearing in her sleep and her hand was shivering. She woke up and remembering the Muni, suddenly said, "What will they be doing!" The Queen's words created disbelief in the King's mind. In the morning, he went to see Bhagwan. While leaving, he ordered Abhaykumar to burn Chelna's palace, as immorality flourishes here. Abhaykumar removed the queens and precious items from the palace and set it on fire. King Shrenik questioned Mahavira. Mahavira said, "Chelna and all the other queens are completely devoted to their husbands and virtuous." King Shrenik began to repent in his heart. He quickly returned from the Samavasaran and headed towards the royal palace. On the way, he met Abhaykumar. When the king asked, Abhaykumar told him about burning the palace. The king said, "Did you not act with your intelligence?" Abhay said, "O King! I knew very well how terrible it is to break the king's order."
The king was angry at his unwise act. He could not control his anger and words came out of his mouth, "Get out of here. Don't show me your face ever again." Abhaykumar was waiting for these words. He bowed to the king and reached Bhagwan's feet and took initiation.
King Shrenik reached the palaces. Seeing all the queens and precious items safe, he was deeply saddened by his words. He went to Bhagwan. But Abhay had already become a disciple before King Shrenik arrived. 65

His body became very thin. However, the extraordinary brilliance of his practice was shining on his face. Abhaykumar had a strong intellect. He was rich in sharp intelligence. The meaningfulness of intelligence lies in the contemplation of the self-principle. -"Buddhe phalam tattvavicharnam cha" Even today, the merchant class remembers Abhay's intelligence. On the occasion of the new year, a wish is made in writing in the account books to obtain intelligence like Abhay's.
In Buddhist literature, Abhaykumar's name is found as Abhayrajakumar. His mother was Padmavati, a courtesan of Ujjayini. When Shrenik Bimbisara heard about her extraordinary beauty, he was attracted to her. He told his mind's desire to the royal priest. The priest worshipped a Yaksha named Kumpir. That Yaksha took Shrenik Bimbisara to Ujjayini. There, he came into contact with Padmavati, the prostitute. Abhayrajakumar stayed with his mother for seven years and then came to Rajgriha with his father. "
