तब अलक्ष राजा ने श्रमण भगवान महावीर के पास उदायन की तरह श्रमण दीक्षा ग्रहण की । विशेष बात यह रही कि उन्होंने अपने ज्येष्ठ पुत्र को राज्य सिंहासन पर बिठाया । ग्यारह अंगों का अध्ययन किया, बहुत वर्षों तक श्रमण चारित्र का पालन किया, अन्त में विपुलगिरि पर जाकर सिद्ध हुए।

Maxim 40 :
Arya Jambu said-Bhagawan ! I have heard the subject matter of fifteenth chapter. What has Bhagawāna described in sixteenth chapter ? Kindly tell me. Sudharmā Swāmi began to narrate-At that time and at that period, there was a Kāma Mahāvana garden in Varanasi city. Alaksa was the king of Varanasi. At that time and at that period, śramaņa Bhagawāna Mahāvīra arrived at that garden. Public congregation went out for bowing down to Bhagawāna. King Alaksa also became glad as he heard that Bhagawāna Mahāvīra had come and like king Konika he also began to serve and worship Bhagawāna Mahāvīra. Bhagawāna delivered religious discourse. Then like Udāyana, king Alakṣa accepted sage consecration, in presence of Sramaņa Bhagawāna Mahāvīra. Excepting; he coronated his eldest son. Alakșa studied eleven holy scriptures (angas). practised sage conduct for many years and in the end he attained salvation on Vipulagiri.
