Future Cakrins, (326—337)
The Cakrins will belong to the gotra of Kasyapa, gold-color, and eight of them will go to mokṣa. Sagara will be like you in Ayodhya, when Ajita is like me. The son of Sumitra and Yaśomati, four hundred and fifty bows tall, he will live for seventy-two lacs of purvas. In Śrävasti, Maghavan, the son of Bhadra and Samudravijaya, will live for five lacs of years, forty-two and a half bows tall. Sanatkumāra, with a life of three lacs of years, in Hastinapura, one bow less than the former height, will be the son of Sahadevi and Aśvasena. In the interval between Dharma and Santi, these two will go to the third heaven. Santi, Kunthu, and Ara will be both Arhats and Cakrabhṛts. Son of Tara and Kṛtavirya, Subhuma will live for sixty thousand years in Hastinapura, twenty-eight bows tall, and in the interval between Ara and Malli will go to the seventh hell. Padma, the son of Jvālā and Padmottara, in Vārāṇasi, will live for thirty thousand years, twenty bows tall. In Kampilya, Hariṣena will be son of Mera and Mahāhari, living for ten thousand years, fifteen bows tall. These two will live while Muni and Nami are wandering (as Tirthankaras). In Rājagṛha, Jaya will be the son of Vapra and Vijaya, twelve bows tall, living for three thousand years, between Nami and Nemi. In Kāmpilya, Brahmadatta will be the son of Culani and Brahma, living for seven hundred years, seven bows tall. He will live in the interval between Śri Neminatha and Śri Pārsvanätha and, engaged in evil meditation, will go to the seventh hell."
The future Vasudevas (338-357)
The Lord, though unasked, related as follows: "There will be nine black Vasudevas, enjoyers of three parts of the earth, with half so much power as the Cakrins. The eighth will belong to the family of Kasyapa and the others to the family of Gautama. There will be nine white Baladevas, their (half-) brothers, sons of co-wives. Of these,
