was feeling obligatory and was looking continuously towards prince. She was thinking, “Is he Shankhlumār?” Meanwhile, Matiprabh came and introduced prince. Yashomati was blushing. They both got married by Gāndharva method.
Vidyādhar Maņishekhar requested the couple to come to Vaitādhya Mountain. They worshiped God at various temples over there.
After that they came to Champāpuri city; at Yashomati's father's place. King Jeetāri became happy as he had such a nice sonin-law. They again came to Hastināpur city. King Shrishen was glad by looking at his daughter-in-law. He handed over lordship to Shankhkumār and pursued initiation.
Many years passed. Kevali Shrishen Muni came to Hastināpur city. Listening to the lecture of Kevalibhagwant Shankhkumār became renunciatory. But, he had enormous fascination towards Yashomati and due to this he was in dilemma. He asked reason for this fascination to Kevalibhagwant. Kevalibhagwant narrated relations of all the seven previous births right from the birth of Dhan and Dhanvati. And also said, “After the death, in next birth, you will be the deities at heaven called Anuttar plane. After completing life over there, you will reborn as the Nemināth Tirthankar. Yashomati will become Rājimati and will also attain salvation. You have relationship with Matiprabh since last three births and he will become your gaṇadhar”
