King Nandana thus passed eighty-four hundred-thousand years in conquering the multitude of his enemies and the mass of his passions, spreading the prowess of his untinged fame and virtuous character in all directions, subduing wicked persons and their evil habits, in bringing his kinsmen and his treasure into prosperity, in protecting virtuous people, and in acting in accordance of the precepts of saintly persons.

One day, an eminent preceptor named Śri Pottilācārya,— who was like a capacious boat in crossing the formidable ocean of this worldy existence; who was a treasure of gemlike virtuous qualities; who was powerful in over-coming the great wrestler-Moha [Infatuation]; who was like the Sun in dispelling the darkness of wrong beliefs; who was like a strong staff in rescuing devout beings blinded by false ideas; who was capable of expanding the lotus-like hearts of devout people; and who was the medium of good fortune only by the utterance of his auspicious name, arrived in the pleasure-garden outside the town.
On being informed of the Acarya's arrival there, King Jitasatru, with his face brightened with joy, with his cheeks expanding wide and with pleasant horripilation on his entire body, went to pay homage to the learned preceptor. Then, walking respectfully thrice round Pottilacarya, with a devotion as if he was worshipping all the limbs of the Acarya's body, with white flowers swarming with buzzing bees, under the pretext of the fall of pure-eye sight resulting from increasing, joy on the occasion of his first meeting, and as if he was ready to wash the lotns-like feet of his Guru, by the uninterrupted flow of manifest tears of joy, and with an intense desire of listening to the religioruss sermon King Jitaśatru becoming free from pride and torrow, bowed down low at the feet of the Acarya, who was powerful enough to vanquish the God of Love, and rejoicingly said "O Lord! On receiving the unobtainable service of your divine feet, I consider myself more fortunate even than Indra Mahādéva, Vasudeva, or gods. Only those fortunate individuals who devoutly adhere to the service of your lotus-like feet
