Shree Jambu Swami asked-O Bhagawan! Shramana Bhagavana Mahavira has told ten chapters of fourth section. What subject matter has he expressed in first chapter?
Shree Sudharma Swami said-O Jambu! At that time and at that period there was a city named Dwaraka. Its description has been given in the first chapter of first section. Shree Krushna Vasudeva was ruling over it.
In that Dwaraka city there lived king Vasudeva and his queen Dharini. Queen Dharini was most tender, beautiful and chaste woman. Once she was sleeping on a comfortable bed when she saw a lion in dream. She told her dream to her husband. The description of dream etc. should be known as described before (in previous pages).
After it, as described before, like Gautama Kumara, a brilliant son took birth. He was named Jali Kumara. When he attained youth he was wedded to fifty young girls and he got fifty-fifty karoda (five hundred millions) gold coins each etc., as wedding-gift. Further description should be known thus in brief
Once Bhagavana Arishthanemi came there.Listening his sermon Jali Kumara became apathetic to the world. With permission of his parents, he accepted consecration, before Arihanta. Aristhanemi. He studied twelve angas (Holy Scriptures) and practiced sage-consecration upto sixteen years. Then like Gautama Kumara, he accepted Samlekhana and practiced Samthara for one month on mount Satrunjaya and exhausting all karmas beatified.
Like Jali Kumara the descriptions of 2. Mayali Kumara, 3. Uvayali Kumara, 4. Purusasena Kumara and 5. Varisena Kumara should be known. All these were the sons of King Vasudeva and queen Dharini.
In the same way the life-character of sixth Pradyumna Kumara should be known. Excepting; his father was Shree Krushna and mother was Rukmini.
The same is the life description of seventh Samba Kumara. Excepting; his father was Shree Krushna and mother was Jambavati.
Siilar is the life-description of Aniruddha Kumra in eighth chapter. Excepting: his father was Pradyumna Kumara and mother was Vaidarbhi.
Similar is the description of Satyanemi in ninth chapter and Dradhanemi in tenth chapter. Excepting; father of these both Samudravijaya and mother was Sivadevi. As such, these both were the younger brothers of Bhagavana Arishthanemi.
All these chapters are alike in description. This is the substance of fourth
section.
Shree Sudharma Swami said-Thus O Jambu! Shramana Bhagavana Mahavira has expressed the subject matter of fourth section containing ten chapters, which I have told you.
