## The Tenth Chapter
221. The powerful wife of the king, named Srimatī, was born as his son, Keshava. What can be said? Such is the state of the world. ||146||
The king had great love for his son. It is natural to love one's son, but what can be said when the beloved of a previous life is born as one's son? He is loved even more. ||147||
The beings of the lion, monkey, and boar lineages, who had become gods in the second heaven after enjoying the earth, were born as princes in this same Vatsakavati country, with the same merit and the same power as the king. ||148||
The lion being, Citrāṅgada, was born as the son of Vibhīṣaṇa, the king, from his wife, Priyadattā, named Baradatta. ||149||
The boar being, named Maṇikuṇḍala, was born as the son of king Nandiṣeṇa and queen Anantamatī, named Vareseṇa. ||150||
The monkey being, named Manohara, was born as the son of king Ratiṣeṇa and queen Candramati, named Citrāṅgada. ||151||
The jackal being, named Manoraṭha, was born as the son of king Prabhañjana and queen Citramālini, named Praśāntamadana. ||152||
All these princes, with their similar forms, appearances, beauty, and wealth, enjoyed their respective kingdoms for a long time. ||153||
Then, one day, all four kings, along with the Chakravartī Abhayaghoṣa, went to pay homage to the pure and radiant Jina, Vimala Vāha. There, they all paid homage with devotion and then, renouncing the world, took initiation. ||154||
This Chakravartī had been initiated along with eighteen thousand kings and five thousand sons. ||155||
All these Munīśvaras, attaining the highest state of *samvega* and *niveda*, engaged in the arduous practice of austerities, the path to heaven and liberation. ||156||
*Samvega* is intense delight in Dharma and its fruits, and *niveda* is detachment from the body, pleasures, and the world.
