________________ 332 JAIN RAMAYAN Then Bhamandal approached Shri Ram and saluted his feet. Shri Ram embraced him affectionately. Chandragati was overwhelmed with joy. When Bhamandal's agitation disappeared, his grief also disappeared. He felt supremely happy. Of course, on hearing these stories of the various lives and the strange events that had taken place he became detached. He ordered his Chief Minister : "Dear Chief Minister! Kindly go to Mithila at once and bring Janak and Videha so that Bhamandal may meet his father and mother." Accordingly, the Chief Minister went to Mithila and brought King Janak and Queen Videha to Ayodhya. King Dasarath and Chandragati went forward and received King Janak with great honour. Then they narrated to him the entire story of Bhamandal as narrated by the Muni. King Janak and Queen Videha kept looking at Bhamandal wi A wave of affection rose in the heart of Videha. In consequence, milk sprang from her breasts. Bhamandal ran forward and saluted the feet of Janak and Videha. Queen Videha embraced Bhamandal with great joy. King Janak embraced Bhamandal and bathed him wit King Janaka and Queen Videha found their long-lost son. Sita found her long-lost brother. Bhamandal's anguish ended. Chandragati felt supremely happy when he found joy and serenity abounding around him. He was agitated by the samsar. He became totally detached. In consequence installing Bhamandal on the throne of Ratanupur, Chandragati and Pushpavati received initiation into the Sadhudharma from the great muni, Satyabhuti.
