On the way the jewel of Jīmūtavāhana known as ‘Cūḍāratna’, which was soaked in blood fell down, in front of Malayavatī. Knowing that it was the jewel of her husband, with a terrible cry she ran to her father. Because of his knowledge of arts and sciences, Jīmūtaketu also knew everything and with his wife and daughter he went to the top of the Malaya mountain. In the meanwhile, Śaṅkhacūḍa, having done obeisance to ‘Gokarṇanātha’ (God), came back to the stone where he had left Jīmūtavāhana and seeing a pool of fresh blood, became sad and silent. Then determining that he would save Jīmūtavāhana at any cost, he went up the mountain following the track of the blood drops. - [Previous: c7.1517](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1517) - [Next: c7.1519](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1519) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1518](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1518) · Pramāṇa
