搁腻尘补 set out in the night and at evening readied a town, 痴补峁兣沘蝉迟丑补濒补, situated on the slope of Mt. 痴补峁兣沘艣补颈濒补. 搁腻尘补 saw its people and the king terrified and asked a man, 鈥淲hat is the reason for their fear?鈥� The man explained: 鈥淭his is the third day of a terrible noise that takes place on this mountain at night. From fear of it all the population goes elsewhere at night and comes back at dawn. This is the continual unfortunate state of affairs.鈥� Then 搁腻尘补, from curiosity and urged by 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺, climbed the mountain and saw two munis engaged in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补. J膩nak墨, 搁腻尘补, and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 praised them with devotion and 搁腻尘补 had the lute, which 骋辞办补谤峁嘺 gave, play before them. Saumitri sang pleasingly with beautiful 驳谤腻尘补谤腻驳补蝉 and Queen 厂墨迟腻 danced with various gestures and postures.

Then the sun set and the starry night unfolded. A god, Analaprabha, came with several vet膩las created by magic. He himself had the form of a vet膩la, and, hard-hearted, began to attack the two sages, splitting the sky with loud laughter. Leaving 痴补颈诲别丑墨 with the 蝉腻诲丑耻蝉, 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺, armed, got up to kill him, assuming the form of Death unseasonably. The god, unable to endure their flood of brilliance, went to his own place, and the 蝉腻诲丑耻蝉鈥� omniscience arose. The gods held an omniscience-festival for them. 搁腻尘补 bowed and asked them the reason for the attack. One of them, the sage 碍耻濒补产丑奴峁�a峁嘺 related:

鈥淭here was a king, Vijayaparvata, in the town 笔补诲尘颈苍墨. He had a messenger, 础尘峁泃补蝉惫补谤补, and the messenger had a wife, Upayog膩, and two sons, Udita and Mudita. There was a friend of the messenger, a Br膩hman, 痴补蝉耻产丑奴迟颈; and Upayog膩 was in love with him and wished to kill 础尘峁泃补蝉惫补谤补. At the king鈥檚 command 础尘峁泃补蝉惫补谤补 went to a foreign country one day. 痴补蝉耻产丑奴迟颈 went with him and slew him on the road by a trick. 痴补蝉耻产丑奴迟颈 came to the city and told the people, 鈥槾〕踞箾t补蝉惫补谤补 sent me back because of some business.鈥� He told Upayog膩, 鈥業 killed 础尘峁泃补蝉惫补谤补 on the road by using a trick, as he was an obstacle to our pleasure.鈥� She said, 鈥榊ou did well. Kill these boys also. Let be complete freedom from troublesome persons.鈥� He agreed to that. By chance 痴补蝉耻产丑奴迟颈鈥檚 wife heard this plan and from jealousy told his sons, Udita and Mudita. 痴补蝉耻产丑奴迟颈 was felled at once by Udita in anger and, having died, was born a Mleccha in the village Nala.

One day the king listened to dharma from sage Mativardhana and became a mendicant; and they also, Udita and Mudita. Udita and Mudita set out to worship the shrines on Sammeta and came to the village, as they wandered on the road. The Mleccha, the soul of 痴补蝉耻产丑奴迟颈, ran to kill them because of former enmity, as soon as he saw them, and was prevented by the Mleccha-king. The lord of the Mlecchas was a deer in a former birth and had been set free from a hunter by the 箩墨惫补蝉 of Mudita and Udita who were farmers in that birth. Henceforth protected by the Mleccha-king, they went to Sammeta, worshipped the shrines, and wandered for a long time. After fasting to death, they became very powerful gods in 惭补丑腻艣耻办谤补, Sundara and 厂耻办别艣补.

After wandering through existence, the Mleccha, 痴补蝉耻产丑奴迟颈鈥檚 箩墨惫补, attained a human birth with difficulty and in it he became an ascetic. After death he became a god among the 闯测辞迟颈峁�k补蝉, named Dh奴maketu, possessing false-belief, hard-hearted.

The 箩墨惫补蝉 of Udita and Mudita fell from 艢耻办谤补 and in Bharata in the city 搁颈峁ａ弓补辫耻谤补 became the sons, Ratnaratha and Citraratha, of King Priyamvada by his wife 笔补诲尘腻惫补迟墨. Dh奴maketu fell and became the son, Anudvara, of the same king by his wife 碍补苍补办腻产丑腻. He was jealous of Ratnaratha and Citraratha; but they did not feel any jealousy toward him. Priyamvada made Ratnaratha king and the two heir-apparents, fasted six days, and became a god. A certain king gave his daughter, 艢谤墨辫谤补产丑腻, to Ratnaratha ruling the kingdom, though Anudvara had asked for her. Angered, Anudvara looted the land of Ratnaratha, who felled him in battle and captured him. By practicing much deceit he was released by Ratnaratha. He became an ascetic and practiced penance in vain because of his association with women. Then he died and after wandering through births for a long time, became a human. Becoming an ascetic again he practiced penance without knowledge. He died and became this 闯测辞迟颈峁�k补-god, Analaprabha.

Ratnaratha and Citraratha took initiation. After death they became very magnificent gods, Atibala and 惭补丑腻产补濒补, in the heaven Acyuta. They fell and descended into the womb of Queen 痴颈尘补濒腻, chief-queen of King 碍峁�e尘补峁卥补谤补 in 厂颈诲诲丑腻谤迟丑补辫耻谤补. In course of time 痴颈尘补濒腻 bore two sons: I, 碍耻濒补产丑奴峁�a峁嘺, and 顿别艣补产丑奴峁�a峁嘺 here. The king entrusted us to the teacher 骋丑辞峁�a for study and we studied all the arts for twelve years. In the thirteenth year we came with 骋丑辞峁�a into the king鈥檚 presence and saw a maiden standing at a window in the palace. We fell in love with her at once and, disconsolate, went before the king and demonstrated all the arts. The teacher was honored by the king and went to his own house; we went to bow to our mother at the king鈥檚 command. We saw the maiden there with our mother and our mother announced: 鈥楾his is your sister, 碍补苍补办补辫谤补产丑腻. She was born while you were living at your teacher鈥檚 house, sons. Hence, you do not know her.鈥� Hearing that, we were ashamed of desiring our sister from ignorance. We experienced disgust with existence at once and became mendicants in the guru鈥檚 presence. Practicing severe penance, we came here to the great mountain and stood in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补, indifferent to the body.

Because of the separation from us, our father fasted, died, and became a lord of 骋补谤耻岣峚蝉,^[1] a god named. 惭补丑腻濒辞肠补苍补. Knowing by the shaking of his throne the attack on us, he has come here now, distressed by his affection in a former birth. Out of curiosity the god Analaprabha went with the gods to the side of the kevalin, Muni 础苍补苍迟补惫墨谤测补. At the end of the sermon he was asked by a disciple, 鈥榃ho will be a kevalin after you in Munisuvrata鈥檚 congregation?鈥� He replied: 鈥淎t my emancipation two brothers, 碍耻濒补产丑奴峁�a峁嘺 and 顿别艣补产丑奴峁�a峁嘺, will become kevalins.鈥� After hearing that, Analaprabha went to his own place and, learning by trickery that we were engaged in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 here, attacked us cruelly because of enmity in a former birth in order to make false 础苍补苍迟补惫墨谤测补鈥檚 speech, because of wrong-belief. He attacked us resolutely for four days. Today you came here and he disappeared from fear of you. Our omniscience arose from destruction of karma and he was an aid in destroying karma by making his attacks.鈥�

The god 惭补丑腻濒辞肠补苍补, lord of 骋补谤耻岣峚蝉 said, 鈥�碍腻办耻迟蝉迟丑补, you have done well. What can I do for you in return?鈥� 搁腻尘补 replied, 鈥淭here is no reward for us,鈥� but the god-said, 鈥淣evertheless, I shall do you a favor sometime,鈥� and went away.

Then the lord of 痴补峁兣沘蝉迟丑补濒补, King Suraprabha, came there, bowed to 搁腻尘补, and honored him very much. At 搁腻尘补鈥檚 command he had shrines to the Arhats made on the mountains and from that time the mountain was named 鈥�搁腻尘补giri鈥� from 搁腻尘补鈥檚 name. Then the best of Raghus set forth after taking leave of Suraprabha and fearlessly entered the extraordinary Da峁囜笉ak膩ra峁噛a.^[2] 碍腻办耻迟蝉迟丑补 made his dwelling in a cave-house in a large mountain in it and remained as comfortable as in his own house.
