King Sayāṇia, however, expired leaving behind his minor son Udāyaṇa. Miyāvai played diplomacy. She took Pajjoya into confidence and requested him to help her in protecting the kingdom and the child from the danger of an attack by feudal kings. Pajjoya granted the appeal. Miyāvai's hands got strengthened by and by. Thus, she preserved her chastity, protected her kingdom and saved her son.² One day she took initiation from Titthayara Mahāvīra installing Udāyaṇa as the king of Kosambī. She practised asceticism under Candaṇā(1). Once she went to attend the religious congregation addressed by Titthayara Mahāvīra but could not return to her place in time, i.e. in day-time as she was not aware of the fact that the light which was visible there was due to the presence of the god Sūriya(1) as well as Canda(1) who had come to visit Titthayara. She was, therefore, admonished by the head nun Candaṇā. Thereupon she repented to such an extent that her obscuring karmas disappeared and she obtained omniscience in that very night.³ - [Previous: v2.c8.s2.1058](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.1058) - [Next: v2.c8.s2.1060](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.1060) - [Up: v2.c8.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.1059](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.1059) · Pramāṇa
