Udayan and Vasavadatta Chandapradyot also came to the Samavasaran to listen to the sermon. Bhagavan Mahavir gave a timely discourse
Worthy ones, a man under the influence of carnal desires
continues to suffer for many 909)
rebirths. Benumbed by
desires, man becomes irrational like a blind. He is not even ashamed of indulging in the most deplorable
deeds.

At the conclusion of the sermon queen Mrigavati got up and requested
Bhante, I want to get initiated after taking permission from king
Chandapradyot.
Mrigavati approached Chandapradyot and joining her palms said-1
If you give permission I want to get initiated at
Prabhu's feet.
Beloved of gods, do as you please
Under the influence of Bhagavan's pious presence Chandapradyot's passions got pacified. He remained silent. The queen said
My son Udayan is still a minor. I am handing over to you the responsibility of protecting him as well as the
kingdom.
