Jambu Swami asked with reverence-Reverend Sir! I have heard from you. what Bhagavana Mahavira described as subject matter of eighth chapter. Now please tell me the subject matter of ninth, as expressed by Bhagavana Mahavira. Shree Sudharma Swami uttered- O Jambu! At that time and at that period, there was a city named Dwaraka, near Raivataka Mountain and at that mountain was Nandanavana garden. Krushna Vasudeva was the ruler of the zone.
Chapters- 9 & 10
Sambakumara was the son of Krushna Vasudeva and his queen Jambavati. That prince Sambakumara had all the five senses, and his body was beautiful. That Samba Kumara had a wife named Mulasri. She was tender and beautiful so was describable.
Once Arhat Arishthanemi came there. Krushna Vasudeva went to bow down and worship him. Mulasri also went to Bhagavana like Padmavati. Bhagavana bestowed sermon and religious discourse. Hearing that Krushna Vasudeva and general people went back to their places. Mulasri stayed their and requested- O Bhagawan! Getting permission from Krushna Vasudeva, I intend to enter sage (nun) order in presence of you.
Bhagavana said-O beloved of gods! Do as you feel happy.
After that Mulasri returned to her house. Samba Kumara, husband of Mulasri, had been consecrated in presence of Bhagavana, so she asked permission from her father-in-law, Shree Krushna Vasudeva and getting his permission accepted consecration like Padmavati. Like Padmavati she was also beatified by propitiating restrain and austerity
►◄the whole description of Muladatta-should be known like that of Mulasri.
