The foreword of the fifth chapter should be read as before. (Jambu Swami asked-- "Bhante! What is the text and meaning of the fifth chapter as preached by Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir?" Sudharma Swami replied--)
(The story in brief is--) There was a city named Saugandhika. It had a garden named Nilashoka. In that garden was a temple of Sukaal Yaksh. That city was ruled by king Apratihat. His queen was named Sukrishna. They had a son named Mahachandra Kumar. The name of his wife was Arhadatta. Mahachandra had a son named Jinadas. Bhagavan Mahavir arrived. Jinadas 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 Madhyamika. King Megharath ruled there. He gave faultless food as alms to ascetic Sudharma and as a consequence acquired Ayushya karma (life span determining karma) to be a human being. Completing his life span there, he has reincarnated as Jinadas... and so on up to... At last at the end of this very life he will become Siddha (perfect), Buddha (enlightened), Mukta (liberated) and attain nirvana ending all misery.
Commentary--In this chapter only unusual thing in the story of Jinadas is that it has the mention of his grand parents Apratihat and Sukrishna. Almost all other stories do not mention that. All other details should be read as those about Subahu Kumar. The only other variation being that Jinadas will get liberated at the end of this life only.
Conclusion should be read as before.
