There he will gain righteousness (samyaktva) and get initiated as an ascetic. From there he will reincarnate in the first heaven named Saudharm De Aok.

O INTRODUCTION:
This ninth chapter contains the horrifying story of a cruel woman. The preceding chapter contained the description of a callous male characters who killed and tortured animals, birds, and fish; but this chapter describes a female character who mercilessly kills her own mother-in-law. In her earlier birth she was king Simhasen, a male. Instigated by his chief queen he imprisons the mothers of his other four hundred wives in a camouflaged house through deception and then burns them alive while they were asleep. The perpetrator of such cruel deed dies with cruel attitude and reincarnates as girl Devadatta. Although endowed with physical beauty, Devadatta had a perverted, ugly, and despicable mind. For her unrestricted enjoyment of mundane pleasures she mercilessly killed the mother of his husband, a devotee of his mother.
Reading or listening to the grave consequences of such cruel deeds makes one shiver, and abhor violence.
