King Harinandi has sent servants in search of Aparajeet. They reached Janānand city and gave father's message to Aparajeet. Listening to this Aparajeet cursed his own self and went to his father. Cheerful atmosphere spread all over the palace.
He called all six wives viz. Kanakmālā, Ratnamālā, Kamalini, Kumudini, Rambha and Pritimati to his own home. King Harinandi also felt joy by looking at his son's great good luck. He handed over responsibility of kingdom to Aparajeet. Now, minister's son Vimalbodh became Chief Minister and he also got married to many ladies.
Aparajeet assigned prime position to Pritimati. Time is unstoppable. Once, King Aparajeet saw one dead body. The people were going for his cremation. He suddenly realized futility of worldly luxuries. Immediately he pursued initiation along with Pritimati, Vimalbodh etc. He did great worship and had peaceful death at the end. In the sixth birth, the soul of Aparajeet and Pritimati became Mahardhik deities in eleventh heaven. And soul of Vimalbodh also became deity in same heaven. Over there also they were friends. In the seventh birth soul of Aparajeet came to the womb of queen Shrimati. She was the wife of King Shrishen ruling over Kuru country's capital Hastinapur city of Jambudweep's Bharatkshetra. When he came to embryo, queen dreamed pure full moon having shape of sea shell.
