Svayam Prabhā was much distressed by the death of Lalitānga. But she was somewhat relieved to discover that her own end was to take place six months later, and soon resigned herself to stern fate. She spent those remaining months of her deva-life in constant worship and veneration of the Jina's statues in one of the Heavenly Temples. Thus did she prepare herself for the coming, dissolution of her deva-form.
4. Bajrajangha In the East Videla of the Jambu Dvipa, there is a country known as Puşkalāvati. Utplakhetaka and Pundarikini are two important kingdoms in it. Emperor Bajradanta reigned in the last-named kingdom; his sister's husband, Bajrabābu, was the king of the other. On the termination of the deva-life Lalitānga was born a son to Bajrabāhu from his queen Basundharā. Bajrabāhu called his son Bajrajangha. The name was quite appropriate because the janghās (thighs) of Bajrajangha were supremely beautiful and strong. Bajrabāhu also had a daughter whom he called Anundhari.
