COMPASSIONATE BHAGAVAN MAHAVIR
But when Mahavir turned around without accepting the alms, tears dropped from Chandana's eyes.
Prabho! What is this? Every relative has left me alone.....today you too are abandoning me. Am I an ill-fated one that source of happiness returns from my threshold.
The moment Bhagavan accepted alms, gods showered gold, gems, diamonds etc. from the sky.

Hearing these pitiful words of Chandana Mahavir turned back again. Overwhelmed with joy, Chandana gave the pulse-balls to Mahavir.

With divine influence the shackles of Chandana turned into diamond and pearl studded ornaments. Her body was covered in rich and beautiful dress. Hearing about the fulfillment of Bhagavan Mahavir's resolution king Shatanik and queen Mrigavati also arrived there. They asked Chandanbala to come to the palace. But Chandanbala declined. She remained there waiting for the opportunity to accept Diksha from Bhagavan Mahavir.
The story of princess Chandanbala is available separately in Diwakar Chitrakatha Vol. 11.
