She went back.
Sunakṣatra took the vow of *pravrajyā*. Afterwards, Sunakṣatra, at some other time, in the middle of the night, while engaged in *dharma-jāgaraṇa*, pondered, just as Skandaka had done. For many years, she practiced *samyama*. Gautama's inquiry. As long as Sunakṣatra was an *anagāra*, she was born from a *deva-rūpa* in the *sarvārtha-siddh* aircraft. The state of thirty-three *sāgara-upamas* occurred.
Gautama asked, "O Bhagavan! Where will that Sunakṣatra deva be born after leaving the *deva-loka*?" As long as, "Gautama! She will be a *siddh* from the *Mahā-Videha-varṣa*."
**Discussion:** In this sūtra, the word "pūrva-rātra-para-rātra-kāla" appears, which means midnight. This is the time when the atmosphere is completely calm. Therefore, the minds of those engaged in *dharma-jāgaraṇa* become focused at this time, and complete stability is present in them. At such a time, thoughts are very clear, and very high thoughts arise in the mind. This is the reason why the thoughts of Dhanya and other *anagāras* at that time led them towards the righteous path.
