JAIN RAMAYAN
Of course, the prince was always thinking of recapturing his father's kingdom but he died before fulfillng that desire. Saddened by the separation from her husband, Atisundari ended her life.
What about poor Pingal ? He became mad on account of the separation from Atisundari. During his wanderings, once he met a muni by name Guptacharya. He became a sadhu. Yet he could not forget Atisundari. He always cherished in his heart the memory of Atisundari and died. After his death, he was born as a god in the Saudharma heaven.
In course of time, the jivas of Kundalamandit and Atisundari were born as the children of King Janaka of Mithila and Queen Videha.
Videha was greatly happy to have given birth to the twins.
