Jamāli led ascetic life for many years. At the end of his life, he remained in religious meditation without food and drink for fifteen days, and after death, he was born as a Kilbişika god (a variety of cruel menial gods) in Lāntaka Déva-loka.
From Méndhika-grāma, the Worshipful Lord Sramapa Bhagavāna Mahāvira went to Mithilā Nagarî. He lived at Mithilā Nagarî during the rainy season of that year.
