The foreword of the sixth chapter should be read as before. (Jambu Swami asked-"Bhante! What is the text and meaning of the sixth chapter as preached by Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir?" Sudharma Swami replied--)
(The story in brief is--) There was a city named Kanakapur. It had a garden named Shvetashoka. In that garden was a temple of Virabhadra Yaksh. That city was ruled by king Priyachandra. His queen was named Subhadraadevi. They had a son named Vaishraman Kumar, who was the crown prince. He was married to five hundred girls, chief among them being Shridevi. Bhagavan Mahavir arrived. Dhanapati, the son of thecrown prince, 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 Manipada. King Mitra ruled there. He gave faultless food as alms to ascetic Sambhutivijaya 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 Dhanapati... and so on up to... At last at the end of this very life he will become Siddha (perfect), Buddha (enlightened), and Mukta (liberated) and attain nirvana ending all misery.
Commentary-All other details should be read as those about Subahu Kumar. The only variation being that whereas Subahu Kumar will reincarnate in divine realms before taking birth as a human being in Mahavideh area and getting liberated, Dhanapati will get liberated at the end of this life only.
Conclusion should be read as before.
