त्रिचत्वारिंशत्तम पर्व राजा राजप्रभो लक्ष्मीमती देवी प्रियानुजः । श्रेयान् ज्यायान् जयः पुत्रस्तद्राज्यं पूज्यते न कैः ॥२॥ स पुत्रविटपाटोपः सोमकल्पाघ्रिपश्चिरम् । भोग्यः संभृतपुण्यानां स्वस्य चाभूत्तदभुतम् ॥३॥ अथान्यदा जगत्कामभोगबन्धून् विथुप्रभः । अनित्याशुचिदुःखान्यान्मत्वा याथात्म्यवीक्षणः ॥४॥ विरज्य राज्यं संयोज्य धुयें शौर्योर्जिते जये । अजयौदार्यवी र्यादिप्राज्यराज्यसमुत्सुकः ॥४५॥ अभ्येत्य वृषभाभ्याशं दीक्षित्वा मोक्षमन्वभूत् । श्रेयसा सह 'नार्पत्यमनुजेन यथा पुरा॥८६॥ पितुः पदमधिष्टाय” जयोऽतापि महीं महान् । महतोऽनुभवन् भोगान् संविमज्यानुजैः समम् ॥७॥ एकदाऽयं विहारार्थं बाह्योद्यानमुपागतः । तत्रासीनं समालोक्य शीलगुप्तं महामुनिम् ॥८८॥ त्रिःपरीत्य नमस्कृत्य नुत्वा भक्तिमरान्वितः । श्रुत्वा धर्म तमापृच्छ य प्रीत्या प्रत्यविशत् पुरीम् ॥८९॥ तस्मिन् वने वसन्नागमिथुनं सह भूभुजा । श्रुत्वा धर्म सुधां मत्वा पपौ प्रीत्या दयारसम् ॥१०॥ कदाचित् प्रावृडारम्भे प्रचण्डाशनिताडितः । मृत्वाऽसौ शान्तिमादाय नागो नागामरोऽभवत् ॥११॥
प्रकार अपने तेजको बढ़ानेवाले, अतिशय सुन्दर और विशेष कलाओंको धारण करनेवाले उन पन्द्रह पुत्रोंसे राजाधिराज सोमप्रभ सुशोभित हो रहे थे ॥८१॥ जिस राज्यका राजा सोमप्रभ था, लक्ष्मीमती रानी थी, प्रिय छोटा भाई श्रेयांस था और बड़ा राजपुत्र जयकुमार था भला वह राज्य किसके द्वारा पूज्य नहीं होता ? ॥८२॥ जिसपर पुत्ररूपी शाखाओंका विस्तार है ऐसा वह राजा सोमप्रभरूपी कल्पवृक्ष, पुण्य संचय करनेवाले अन्य पुरुषोंको तथा स्वयं अपने-आपको भोग्य था यह आश्चर्यकी बात है। भावार्थ-पुत्रों-द्वारा वह स्वयं सुखी था तथा अन्य सब लोग भी उनसे सुख पाते थे ।।८३॥
अथानन्तर किसी समय पदार्थोके यथार्थ स्वरूपको जाननेवाले राजा सोमप्रभ संसार, शरीर, भोग और भाइयोंको क्रमशः अनित्य, अपवित्र, दुःखस्वरूप और अपनेसे भिन्न मानकर विरक्त हुए तथा कभी नष्ट न होनेवाले अनन्त वीर्य आदि गुणोंसे श्रेष्ठ मोक्षरूपी राज्यके पानेमें उत्सुक हो, शूरवीर तथा धुरन्धर जयकुमारको राज्य सौंपकर भगवान् वृषभदेवके समीप गये और वहाँ अपने छोटे भाई श्रेयांसके साथ दीक्षा लेकर मोक्षसुखका अनुभव करने लगे। जिस प्रकार वे पहिले यहाँ अपने छोटे भाईके साथ राज्यसुखका उपभोग करते थे उसी प्रकार मोक्षमें भी अपने छोटे भाईके साथ वहाँका सुख उपभोग करने लगे। भावार्थ-दोनों भाई मोक्षको प्राप्त हुए ॥८४-८६॥ इधर श्रेष्ठ जयकुमार पिताके पदपर आसीन होकर पृथिवीका पालन करने लगा। और अपने बड़े भारी भोगोपभोगोंको बाँटकर छोटे भाइयोंके साथ-साथ उनका अनुभव करने लगा ॥८७।। एक दिन वह जयकुमार क्रीड़ा करनेके लिए नगरके बाहर किसी उद्यानमें गया । उसने वहाँ विराजमान शीलगुप्त नामके महामुनिके दर्शन कर उनकी तीन प्रदक्षिणाएं दीं, बड़ी भारी भक्तिके साथ-साथ नमस्कार किया, स्तुति की, प्रीतिपूर्वक धर्म सुना और फिर उनसे आज्ञा लेकर नगरको वापिस लौटा ॥८८-८९॥ उसी वनमें साँपोंका एक जोड़ा रहता था उसने भी राजाके साथ-साथ धर्म श्रवणकर उसे अमत मान बड़े प्रेमसे दयारूपी रसका पान किया था ॥९०॥ किसी समय वर्षाऋतुके प्रारम्भमें प्रचण्ड वज्रके पड़नेसे उस जोड़ेमें-का वह सर्प शान्तिधारण कर मरा जिससे नागकुमार जातिका देव हुआ ॥९१।।

The thirty-fourth chapter: King Soma Prabha, the lord of kings, was adorned with fifteen sons, who were all excellent, exceedingly beautiful, and possessed of special skills. ||81||
The kingdom ruled by King Soma Prabha, with Queen Lakshmi Mati, his beloved younger brother Shreyans, and his eldest son Jay Kumar, was revered by all. ||82||
King Soma Prabha, like a Kalpavriksha, with branches of sons, was a source of enjoyment for himself and for those who had accumulated merit. This was truly remarkable. ||83||
Later, King Soma Prabha, who understood the true nature of things, renounced the world, the body, pleasures, and his brothers, considering them impermanent, impure, sources of suffering, and different from his true self. He became eager to attain the eternal kingdom of liberation, which is characterized by infinite strength and other virtues. He entrusted the kingdom to his valiant and capable son Jay Kumar and went to the presence of Lord Rishabhadeva. There, he received initiation along with his younger brother Shreyans and experienced the bliss of liberation. Just as they had enjoyed the pleasures of the kingdom together in the past, they now enjoyed the bliss of liberation together. ||84-86||
Meanwhile, the noble Jay Kumar, assuming his father's position, ruled the earth. He shared his vast wealth and enjoyed it with his younger brothers. ||87||
One day, Jay Kumar went to a garden outside the city for recreation. There, he saw the great sage Shilagupta and circumambulated him three times. With great devotion, he bowed, praised him, listened to the Dharma with joy, and then returned to the city after taking leave. ||88-89||
In the same forest, a pair of snakes lived. They also heard the Dharma from the king, considered it nectar, and drank the sweet nectar of compassion with great love. ||90||
Once, at the beginning of the rainy season, a powerful thunderbolt struck the pair of snakes. One of them died peacefully and became a Nagakumar, a celestial being. ||91||
