The Seventh Chapter
1
I placed him in the very bright chariot called Pritivardhana and brought him to my own heaven (the sixteenth heaven) and honored him greatly. ||26|| He, my mother's being, enjoyed divine pleasures in that heaven of great happiness and I honored him many times while he was there. ||27|| Then, Lalitanga, leaving that place, went to the eastern Videha region of Jambudvipa, to the northern range of the Vijayardha mountain in the Mangalavati country, and was born as the son of the queen Prabhavati, wife of Vasava, the king of Gandharvapura, the lord of the celestial beings. ||28-29|| King Vasava, entrusting his entire kingdom to his son Mahadhara, performed the Muktavali tapasya near the sage Arinjaya and attained Nirvana. Queen Prabhavati, initiated by the Aryika Padmavati, performed the excellent Ratnavali tapasya and became the Pratindra in the Achyuta heaven. Meanwhile, Mahadhara also became proficient in many sciences and attained extraordinary wealth. ||30-32|| One day, I went to the western part of the Pushkarardha island, to the Videha region of Vatsakavati. There, in the city of Prabhakari, I performed the Nirvana-kalyana puja of the venerable Vinayandhara Muni and, after completing the puja, went to Mount Meru. There, I saw Mahadhara (Lalitanga's being) engaged in the worship of knowledge in the Chaityalaya located in the eastern part of Nandana forest. I addressed him in a loud voice, "Oh, blessed one, know that I am the Indra of the Achyuta heaven and you are Lalitanga. You are my mother's being, and I have an extraordinary love for you. Oh, blessed one, now be free from the attachment to these worldly pleasures that cause suffering." ||33-37|| As soon as I said this, he became detached from worldly pleasures and, entrusting his kingdom to his eldest son, Mahikampa, became a disciple of the Muni Jagannandana along with many celestial beings. He performed the Kanakavali tapasya and, by its power, became the Indra of the Pranat heaven, the holder of the position for twenty oceans. There, he enjoyed many pleasures and then went to the Gandhila country, located in the western Videha region, in the eastern part of the Dhatakikhanda island.
