The Adipurana states that those who practice right faith and right conduct, according to their lifespan, attain the heavenly realms.
They attained the position of Ahamindra in the lowest plane of the Adhoveyaka (the first Preveyaka) through the power of their austerities. This is fitting, for austerities bear fruit according to one's desires.
Then, one day, Vajrajangha Arya, along with his wife, was gazing at the beauty of the Kalpa tree, lost in contemplation.
At that moment, he saw the celestial chariot of Surya Prabha Deva, soaring through the sky. Seeing it, he and his wife were instantly reminded of their past lives, and in that instant, they both attained true knowledge of the nature of the world.
At that very moment, two Charana Munis, coming from afar, saw Vajrajangha. They descended from the sky, showering him with their blessings.
Seeing them approaching, Vajrajangha quickly stood up. Indeed, the karmas of past lives continue to guide beings towards their welfare.
Standing before the two Munis, Vajrajangha, along with his wife, shone brightly, like the day adorned with the lotus, shining before the rising sun and the counter-sun.
Vajrajangha offered obeisance to the feet of the two Munis, his eyes overflowing with tears of joy, washing their feet with his tears.
The two Munis, with their wives, blessed Vajrajangha, assuring him, and then sat down in their appropriate places.
Then, seated comfortably, Vajrajangha asked the two Charana Munis the following questions. As he spoke, a stream of light emanated from his teeth, as if he were scattering a shower of flowers.
He said, "O Bhagavans, where do you reside? From where have you come, and what is the reason for your arrival? Please tell me all this today."
"O Prabhus, the sight of you has filled my heart with a sense of friendship, my mind is filled with joy, and it seems as if you are my relatives."
