The story of the victory of the queen, Vrishabhasena, is like a dark cloud that brings rain. It happened that Vrishabhasena's cloak was used to cover the rain, and Meghapingala, who was serving in the court of King Ugrasena, came to the court. The king, seeing the cloak, was extremely angry and his eyes became red. Meghapingala, seeing the king's anger, knew that the king was angry with him and fled. Vrishabhasena, being angry with Ugrasena, was thrown into the sea to be killed. She made a vow that if she was saved from this calamity, she would perform austerities. Then, due to the power of her vow, the water deities saved her from the sea and restored her throne. Hearing this, the king, filled with remorse, went to bring her back. On his way, he saw a sage named Gunadhara in the forest. Vrishabhasena bowed to him and asked about her past life. The sage told her that in her previous life, she was a Brahmin girl named Nagashri. She worked as a cleaner in the royal palace. One afternoon, a sage named Munidatta was lying in a pit in the palace courtyard, performing austerities. Vrishabhasena, seeing him, angrily said, "The king from the fort will come here soon, get up, get up, I am cleaning the floor, it's time for the wedding." But the sage continued his austerities in silence. Vrishabhasena then filled the pit with dirt and cleaned the floor. In the morning, the king came to the palace and while playing, he saw the dirt and the pit. He dug it up and removed the sage. Vrishabhasena, filled with remorse, developed an interest in Dharma. She took great care of the sage and gave him special medicines and food to alleviate his suffering. Then, she died and was reborn as Vrishabhasena, the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Due to the merit of giving medicine, she was born with a healthy body. Due to filling the pit with dirt, she was born with a blemish. Hearing this, Vrishabhasena freed herself and became an Aryika near the sage. This was the result of giving medicine.

The story of Kaundesha is an example of giving knowledge. This story... In the village of Kurumari, there was a cowherd named Govinda. He took out an ancient book from a cave and, with devotion, offered it to the sage Padmaninda. With that book, in the forest...
