In the city of Ayodhya, in the land of Gandhara, Jayavarman had a son named Ajitanjaya, born to his wife Suprabha. ||4|| After entrusting his kingdom to Ajitanjaya, Jayavarman went to the great sage Abhinandan and took initiation, performing the Achaamlavardhana tapa. ||42|| Freed from the bonds of karma, he attained the supreme state, where there is infinite, imperishable, and uninterrupted bliss. ||43|| Suprabha, after reaching the Ganini Sudarshana, performed the Ratnavala vow and became a deity in the Achyuta heaven. ||44|| Ajitanjaya, becoming a Chakravarti, went to pay homage to Abhinandan. While doing so, the doors of his papaasrava were closed, hence he was named Pihitavrava. ||45|| With this meaningful name, he enjoyed the pleasures of his kingdom for a long time. ||46|| One day, I spoke to him with affection, saying, "O noble one, do not be attached to these perishable objects. See, wise people call that state of contentment which is not born of objects and is free from any end, as true happiness. That contentment cannot be attained even by enjoying the best of objects, both human and divine. These objects have been enjoyed repeatedly, and their taste does not change. If the taste is the same as before, what is the benefit of chewing what has already been chewed? One who is not satisfied with the pleasures of Indra, how can he be satisfied with the pleasures of mortals? Therefore, give up these perishable pleasures that do not bring true contentment." ||47-50|| Thus, inspired by my words, Pihitavrava, along with twenty thousand great kings, took initiation from the great sage Mandarastavira and attained the knowledge of Avadhi and the Charana power. ||51|| It was Pihitavrava, on the mountain Ambaratilaka, who in a previous life, gave you the vows of Jinaguna and Shrutajnana, which lead to the supreme happiness of heaven. Thus, O daughter, Pihitavrava, who was my teacher in a previous life, was your mother's soul. ||52-53||
