________________ and ego, he had committed a big blunder. With the feeling of asceticism, King Hemratha also adopted monkhood under Yashodharsuri Maharaj Saheb. The asceticism of Kanakratha and Rishidatta... Kanakratha lawfully ruled the kingdom. Once Rishidatta dreamt of a lion and later on gave birth to a male child who was named Sinhastha as per the dream. King and queen were engrossed in observing the natural scenes in the sky in the evening. The · colourful clouds adorned by light, seemed to be dancing in the sky. The king said, “What a beautiful arrangement of this clouds is!” Suddenly, those clouds disappeared and the king anxiously thought, “Oh! my life and powers will also disappear some day like these clouds. This thought disturbed his mind and he was filled with detachment of this ephemeral world. He was filled with the feelings of asceticism and at that time Acharya Yashodharsuriji Maharaj Saheb arrived with Hemrathmuni at the garden After hearing the sermon of the muni, Rishidatta asked, “Why was I slandered in spite of being innocent?” The muni said, "Oh Rishidatta, you had also committed the same with the pious lady Sanga in your previous birth and didn't confess as well as repent. If you had confessed at that time, you wouldn't have been put in trouble in this birth." By hearing this, Rishidatta remembered her previous birth. Handing over the kingdom to Sinhastha, Kanakratha and Rishidatta accepted asceticism and attained salvation by observing severe penance. Dear readers! this is the peculiarity of karmas. If one doesn't confess even for his small sin and purify himself, the small spark develops into a great fire in future. Had Rishidatta confessed and atoned for calling Sanga a monster in her previous birth, she wouldn't have to suffer.
