KING KUMARPAL AND HEM-CHANDRACHARYA When Kumarpal heard this he said to Vagbhat
There is no use crying over spilt milk and hating the culprit. According to Gurudev's prophecy my end is near. Let me take the ultimate vow."
Accepting the ultimate vow, Kumarpal started his meditation of Arihant Siddha Lord. With the vision of Gurudev Hem-chandracharya in his mind he peacefully endured the acute pain of poison.
Gurudev beckons me near him.
Within moments he died and a benevolent king passed into the pages of history.
# Chauvihar Santhara.
JaAs mentioned in Kumarpal Charitra by Jina Mandal, Kumarpal died in 1230 V.
