foreword of the tenth chapter should be read as before. (Jambu Swami asked "Bhante! What the text and meaning of the tenth chapter is as preached by Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir ?" Sudharma Swami replied--) Jambu! During that period of time there was a city named Saket. It had a garden named Uttarakuru. In that garden was a temple of Paashamriga Yaksh. That city was ruled by king Mitranandi. His queen was Shrikanta. They had a son named Varadatt Kumar. He was married to five hundred girls, chief among them being Varasena. Bhagavan Mahavir arrived. Prince Varadatt accepted Shravak Dharma (householder's code). On being asked by Gautam about his past birth, Bhagavan Mahavir replied-- (In past birth) There was a city named Shatadvar. King Vimalavahan ruled there. He saw ascetic Dharmaruchi coming and with great devotion he offered faultless food as alms to the ascetic. As a consequence acquired Ayushya karma (life span determining karma) to be a human being. Completing his life span there, he has reincarnated as Varadatt the son of King Mitranandi and queen Shrikanta. Remaining details should be read as those about Subahu Kumar. Like-After Bhagavan's departure he went to paushadhashala and observed fasts. Considered those who got initiated in presence of Bhagavan to be lucky. Resolved to get initiated when Bhagavan visited again. All thesedetails are similar both for Subahu Kumar and Varadatt Kumar. Then after getting initiated and observing ascetic code he will move alternatively from human dimension to divine dimension and so on. Then like Subahu Kumar he will take rebirth in Mahavideh area and at last will become Siddha (perfect), Buddha (enlightened), Mukta (liberated) and attain nirvana ending all misery like Dradhpratijna. Sudharma Swami concluded, Jambu Bhagavan Mahavir, who has attained nirvana, has narrated this text and meaning of tenth chapter of Sukha-vipaak. So I state. Jambu-"Bhante! What you say is, indeed, true. What you said is a fact." Chapter -10- O Meaning- Duhkha-vipaak has ten chapters that are to be finished in ten days. Same is true for Sukha-vipaak; remaining details should be read as in AcharangaSutra.

Introductory summary of the tenth [adhyayana]:
At that time, in that period, there was a city named Sāketa. The Uttarakuru park. Pāśamṛga the yakṣa. King Mitranandin. Queen Śrīkāntā. Prince Varadatta. Five hundred queens headed by Varaseṇā. The arrival of the tīrthaṅkara. The śrāvakadharma. The question about the previous birth. In the city Śatadvāra, King Vimalavāhana; the anagāra Dharmaruci was served with alms; human lifespan was bound; he was born here. The rest as with Prince Subāhu: reflection up to renunciation; in heaven up to Sarvārthasiddhi; then in Mahāvideha as with Dṛḍhapratijña up to he will be liberated, awakened, freed, attain complete nirvāṇa, and put an end to all suffering.
Indeed, Jambū, this is the meaning expounded by the śramaṇa, Bhagavat Mahāvīra, up to who attained [liberation], for the tenth adhyayana of the Sukhvipāka.
“So it is, venerable sir! So it is, venerable sir!”

vivāgasuyassa do suyakkhaṃdhā duhavivāgo suhavivāgo ya| tattha duhavivāge dasa ajjhayaṇā ekkasaragā dasasu ceva divasesu uddi-sijjaṃti| evaṃ suhavivāge vi| sesaṃ jahā āyārassa|

The Vivāgasuta has two śrutaskandhas: Duḥkhavipāka and Sukhvipāka. There, in Duḥkhavipāka, are ten adhyayanas of a single lesson each, recited over ten days. So too in Sukhvipāka. The rest is as in the Ācāra.
