________________
completing our life span as gods I was born to Nand, the wife of a prosperous merchant of Purimat la, Ga apumja. Despite having all comforts and pleasurable objects my mind was not attracted to them, hence I renounced, taking initiation as a monk. Practising restraint, wandering across several places, I reached this garden. Hearing some words of the quatrain from the gardener I was reminded of my past life. In this sixth birth I do not have any idea as to how we were separated.”
Hearing this all the listeners became stunned. They would either look at Brahmadatta or the monk. Then Brahmadatta said – “Oh great monk! Let me tell you the reason for separation in this life. Seeing the cakravart Sanatkum ra's wealth and the excellent youth of Sunand and other queens I had taken a decision that as a result of that penance of mine I should gain the complete wealth of a cakravart. Until the end I did not criticise this perseverance of mine, hence after completing my time in Saudharma realm of gods, because of that desire of mine, I have become a cakravart. Please consider my vast empire and wealth as yours. This youth is meant for enjoying sensual and worldly pleasures. Hence you may come and stay with me as my brother and enjoy all the comforts. All these austerities are after observed to obtain happiness. If those are obtainable easily, what is the need for penance?"
The monk said in a tranquil and intense manner – “In this meaningless world only religion is meaningful. Body, youth, wealth, friends, and relatives; are all momentary like water bubbles. The victory you have gained over six divisions is but victory over external enemies. Now get ready to become capable of winning over the internal enemies of lust, anger, etc, through which you will get permanent happiness of liberation. I have understood that all sensual joys are deadly like poison and to be renounced hence voluntarily I have happily renounced these and accepted the path of self restraint. You know yourself that we both have borne pain in our lives as attendants, deer, swans and elephant and thereafter, through the effect of penance, went to the realm of gods and enjoyed those pleasures as well. When our good deeds ended we again fell from the gods' realm and have been born on the earth. If you do not use your hard-to get human life in making efforts to gain liberation, then I do not know in what unfortunate circumstances bearing how many unbearable pains you will have to wander in your different births. Oh king! Despite knowing it all why are you drowned in sensual pleasures
