The sixtieth chapter tells the story of Aditya-Gati and his queen, Shashi-Prabha. They had a son named Hiranya-Varma, born from the reincarnation of the pigeon, Rati-Var. ||146||
In the northern range of the Vijay mountain, there was a country called Gauri. In its famous city of Bhog-pur, the king of the Vidyadharas, Vayu-rath, ruled. His queen was named Swayam-Prabha. Their daughter, Prabhavati, was born from the reincarnation of the pigeon, Rati-shana. This is true because even a small part of Jain Dharma can liberate beings. ||147-148||
The parents of Sukant and Rati-vega in their previous birth are the same as their parents in this birth. This is not surprising because the world is full of wonders. ||149||
When Jay-kumar, sitting with Sulochana, said, "Oh, my Prabhavati," what more needs to be said about her beauty and other qualities? ||150||
Seeing Prabhavati, adorned with youth, the king of the Vidyadharas, Vayu-rath, asked his ministers, "To whom should we give this daughter?" ||151||
The ministers, after deliberation, said, "Shashi-Prabha is your sister, and Aditya-Gati is the brother of your queen. Both of them, along with many other Vidyadhara kings, are eagerly seeking your daughter's hand in marriage. Therefore, it would be best to hold a Swayamvara. This way, there will be no conflict." The king agreed with his ministers. ||152-153||
After hearing about the Swayamvara, all the princes arrived. But Prabhavati did not accept any of them by placing a garland around their necks. ||154||
Seeing this, her parents asked her friend, Priya-karini, the reason. The friend told them, "She had said earlier, 'Whoever wins me in a battle of speed, I will place a garland around his neck.'" Hearing this, the king, on that day, dismissed everyone with appropriate words. ||155-156||
