Getting out of the hell them (the souls that are Shakat and Sudarshana) will take rebirth as twins in a Chandal (a low caste) family in Rajagriha city. The parents of the twins will name them as Shakat Kumar and Sudarshana.
In due course Shakat Kumar will cross his adolescence and attain youth. Sudarshana Kumari will also acquire exceptional wisdom and maturity while attaining youth. She will have exquisitely beautiful, charming, and youthful body.
Falling for the beauty, youth and charm of his own sister, Shakat Kumar will start passing his time enjoying all human comforts and carnal pleasures with Sudarshana.
At some point of time that Shakat Kumar will enter the profession of catching and killing animals. As a kootagraha that Shakat Kumar will become extremely irreligious and derive contentment in sinful deeds. As a consequence of these evil deeds he will acquire abundant demeritorious karmas. Having completed his life-span, at the time of death, he will die and take rebirth as an infernal being in the first hell named Ratnaprabha.

There he will gain righteousness (samyaktva) and get initiated as an ascetic. From there he will reincarnate in the first heaven named Saudharm Devlok. Descending from there he will take birth in Mahavideh area and follow ascetic conduct immaculately.

Chapter (Adhyayan) - 5 - Bruhaspatidatt
O INTRODUCTION:- Like the preceding chapters this fifth chapter too informs about the grave consequences and bitter fruits of cruelty, sinful activity, and adultery. Even though Brihaspatidatt was the state priest, he deceived his friend, the king, and indulged in adultery with the queen. He not only got harsh punishment for this evil deed during the same life time but he had to suffer the consequences of many other violent and sinful deeds, committed during this and many past births, for millions of rebirths. This chapter contains hair-raising description of that.
[27] Meaning- The foreword of the fifth chapter should be read as before. (Jambu -Swami asked"Bhante! What is the text and meaning of the fifth chapter of fifth chapter of Duhkha-vipaak as preached by Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir ?) Sudharma Swami replied
