Usabha is said to have reigned for countless number of years, and then retired in favour of Bharata, who was declared as the first universal monarch of Vinitā. After taking to the ascetic life, Usabha is said to have travelled through a number of places. He is said to have passed through the countries of Bahali, Adamba and Illā and reached Hatthināpura where he was offered sugarcane by Sejjanisa, the grandson of Bāhubali. Usabha is said to have attained omniscience in Purimatāla in the garden of Sagadamuha and attained salvation on the mountain Atthāvaya.³
