## Chapter Three

After that, she stood before the god, having gathered herself in the act of abandoning her body, saying, "My inclination is towards the liberation from faults, food, etc., and not towards anything else." Then, the city deity, disturbed, came to her at night and said, "Oh Great Ascetic! Do not abandon your life in this way. I will give you a dream of the king, the ministers, and the people of the city. The pegs of the city will be hammered in, and the Great Ascetic, with her left foot, will touch and lift them. And in the morning, they will touch your feet and say, 'You will lift them in this way,' and you will touch the pegs with your foot." Having said this, she showed the king and others the same dream. Then, the city deity, having hammered in the pegs of the city, stood there. In the morning, seeing the hammered pegs, the king and others, remembering the dream, caused the women of the city to be beaten with the pegs. Not a single woman was lifted by anyone. Afterwards, all of them were thrown and taken to her. By touching her feet, all the women were lifted from the pegs, became free from faults, and were worshipped by the king and others. Thus, she became the fourth in the vow.

## Chapter 51

Victory over the minor vow of non-possession, and the attainment of great worship.

## The Story

In the Kuru Jangala country, in the city of Hastinapur, in the Kuru dynasty, there was a king named Soma Prabha. His son, Jaya, was of limited possessions and his inclination was only towards his wife, Sulochana. Once, after hearing the story of the former Vidhyadhara, Jaya and Sulochana, who had come from their previous birth as the Vidhyadhara, Hiranya Dharma Prabhavati, went to Mount Meru to pay homage and devotion. After that, they went to Mount Kailash to worship the twenty-four Jinas established by Bharata. On that occasion, the celestial king, Saudharma Indra, praised Jaya for his vow of limited possessions in heaven. To test her, Rati Prabha Deva came there. Then, taking the form of a woman, she went to Jaya with four beautiful women and said, "Jaya, the king of the Vidhyadharas, who fought with you in Sulochana's Swayamvara, has a beautiful queen, young and full of knowledge, who is newly married.
