वचन, कायको शुद्ध किया और फिर श्रद्धा, तुष्टि, भक्ति, अलोभ, क्षमा, ज्ञान और शक्ति इन गुणोंसे विभूषित होकर विशुद्ध परिणामोंसे उन गुणवान दोनों मुनियोंको विधिपूर्वक आहार दिया। उसके फलस्वरूप नीचे लिखे हुए पञ्चाश्चर्य हुए। देव लोग आकाशसे रत्नवर्षा करते थे, पुष्पवर्षा करते थे, आकाशगंगाके जलके छींटोंको बरसाता हुआ मन्द-मन्द वायु चल रहा था, दुन्दुभि बाजोंकी गम्भीर गर्जना हो रही थी और दिशाओंको व्याप्त करनेवाले 'अहो दानम् अहो दानम्' इस प्रकारके शब्द कहे जा रहे थे ॥१७२-१७५।। तदनन्तर वज्रजंघ, जब दोनों मुनिराजोंको वन्दना और पूजा कर वापस भेज चुका तब उसे अपने कंचुकीके कहनेसे मालूम हुआ कि उक्त दोनों मुनि हमारे ही अन्तिम पुत्र हैं ॥१७६।। राजा वज्रजंव श्रीमतीके साथ-साथ बड़े प्रेमसे उनके निकट गया और पुण्यप्राप्तिकी इच्छासे सद्गृहस्थोंका धर्म सुनने लगा॥१७७।। दान, पूजा, शील और प्रोषध आदि धोका विस्तृत स्वरूप सुन चुकनेके बाद वनजंघने उनसे अपने तथा श्रीमतीके पूर्वभव पूछे ॥१७८।। उनमें से दमधर नामके मुनि अपने दाँतोंकी किरणोंसे दिशाओंमें प्रकाश फैलाते हुए उन दोनोंके पूर्वभव कहने लगे ॥१७९॥
हे राजन्, तू इस जन्मसे चौथे जन्ममें जम्बूद्वीपके विदेह क्षेत्रमें स्थित गन्धिल देशके सिंहपुर नगरमें राजा श्रीषेण और अतिशय मनोहर सुन्दरी नामकी रानीके ज्येष्ठ पुत्र हुआ था। वहाँ तूने विरक्त होकर जैनेश्वरी दीक्षा धारण की। परन्तु संयम प्रकट नहीं कर सका और विद्याधर राजाओंके भोगोंमें चित्त लगाकर मृत्युको प्राप्त हुआ जिससे पूर्वोक्त गन्धिल देशके विजयाध पर्वतकी उत्तर श्रेणीपर अलका नामकी नगरीमें महाबल हुआ। वहाँ तूने मनचाहे भोगोंका अनुभव किया। फिर स्वयम्बुद्ध मन्त्रीके उपदेशसे आत्मज्ञान प्राप्त कर तूने जिनपूजा कर समाधिमरणसे शरीर छोड़ा और ललितांगदेव हुआ। वहाँसे च्युत होकर अब वनजंघ नामका राजा हुआ है ॥१८०-१८४॥
यह श्रीमती भी पहले एक भवमें धातकीखण्डद्वीपमें पूर्व मेरुसे पश्चिमकी ओर गन्धिल देशके पलालपर्वत नामक ग्राममें किसी गृहस्थकी पुत्री थी। वहाँ कुछ पुण्यके उदयसे तू उसी देशके पाटली

The virtuous one, endowed with the qualities of faith, etc., gave food to the two pure and virtuous monks in accordance with the rules. As a result, he obtained the five wonders. The gods showered jewels and flowers from the sky, a gentle breeze carrying drops of water from the Milky Way was blowing, the sound of drums was resounding, and the words "Oh, what a gift! Oh, what a gift!" were being uttered, filling all directions. ||172-175||

After that, Vajrajanga, having paid homage and worship to the two monks, sent them back. Then, he learned from his attendant that the two monks were his own last sons. ||176||

King Vajrajanga, with great love, went near Srimatī and, with a desire to gain merit, began to listen to the Dharma of the righteous householders. ||177||

Having heard the detailed description of the Dharma, including giving, worship, good conduct, and offerings, Vajrajanga asked about his and Srimatī's past lives. ||178||

The monk named Damavara, illuminating the directions with the rays of his teeth, began to describe their past lives. ||179||

O King, in your fourth birth, you were the eldest son of King Srīṣeṇa and the extremely beautiful Queen Sundarī, in the city of Simhapura, in the Gandhila country, located in the Videha region of Jambudvīpa. There, you renounced the world and took Jain initiation. However, you could not practice restraint and became attached to the pleasures of the Vidyadhara kings, and thus met your death. Before that, you were a powerful king in the city of Alaka, located on the northern slope of the Vijayadha mountain in the aforementioned Gandhila country. There, you enjoyed all the pleasures you desired. Then, guided by the advice of the self-enlightened minister, you attained self-knowledge, worshipped the Jinas, and left your body through Samadhi, becoming Lalitanga Deva. From there, you have fallen down and become King Vajrajanga now. ||180-184||

Srimatī, in a previous birth, was the daughter of a householder in the village called Palalaparvata, in the Gandhila country, located west of the Eastern Meru, in the Dhātakīkhaṇḍa dvīpa. There, due to some merit, you were born in the same country, in the city of Pāṭalī...
