JAIN RAMAYAN
After having completed the span of his life there, he was born as a son of King Dasharath of Ayodhya in Bharat. He is Shri Ram".
Vibhishan, Sugriv, Lav, Kush and the others were listening to the discourse of Jayabushan muni with deep concentration. All were overwhelmed with joyful emotions when they heard the stories of the various janmas of Shri Ram. Vibhishan again said humbly, "Revered Lord ! Padmaruchi, in course of time, was born as Shri Ram but what happened to Vrishabhdwaj? Where is he now ?"
"Dear King! Vrishabhadwaj passed through many janmas and now he is among us as Sugriva."
Then all realised the reason for Sugriv's extraordinary attachment and amity for Shri Ram. All shed tears of joy.
"But dear Lord! What happened to Gunavati and Vasu Dutt? What happened to Shrikant ? Kindly tell us the stories of their janmas."
