Chapter 7
Maxim 6:
Arya Jambu-O reverend Sir ! Sramana Bhagawana Mahāvīra as described the sixth chapter, so you have told me and I have heard attentively. Now please tell me-what is the description of seventh chapter. Arya Sudharma-At that time and at that period there was a city named Dwarakā. The description of that city should be known from first chapter of the first section. Speciality was that there was ruler Vasudeva, and Dhāriņi Devi was his queen. Dhārini has seen a lion in dream. Her son was named as Sārana Kumāra. After marriage he got fifty-fifty crores of silver and gold coins as wilful pleasure gift. Sāraṇa Kumāra had studied Sāmāyika etc., eleven Angas and fourteen Pūrvas. His consecration period was of twenty years. Remaining like Gautama Kumāra, with Samlekhanā of one month he attained salvation from Satrunjaya mountain.
