A CRITICAL STUDY OF PAUMACARIYA峁�
made the chief queen. Distressed Virasena became a monk and was
reborn as a celestial being. Once the case of a 'parad膩rika' or adultery
was instituted in the court. Madhu sought advice of Candr膩bh膩. She
said that the adulterer should be worshipped. It was a slur on the
character of the king himself. The king realised his sin and renounced
the world along with his brother, Kai峁璦bha. Candr膩bh膩 also accepted
nunhood. After performing severe penances Madhu and Kai峁璦bha
ascended to the Acyuta Kalpa and became Indra and Prati-Indra
respectively. Candr膩bh膩 also became a goddess.
The PCR (109.35-173) and the RPS (p. 192f) mention the name
of the sons of Samudra and Dh膩ri峁噄 of Ayodhy膩 (S膩keta) as
P奴r峁嘺bhadra and Ka帽canabhadra (109-130 ). They further mention
Nyagrodhanagara for Va岣峚nagara. The Vasudevahin岣嵞� (I. pp. 85-91)
mentions them in their previous births as jackals; as Agnibhuti and
Vayubh奴ti; as celestial beings; as sons of Arhadd膩sa, a merchant of
Gajapura and Puspa艣r墨 named as P奴r峁嘺bhadra and Manibhadra; and
then as Madhu and Kaitabha being the sons of king Vi艣vasena and
Surup膩 of Gajapura. The king of Va岣峚pura is named as Kanakaratha.
Madhu and Kai峁璦bha are said to have become Indras in the Mah膩艣ukra
Vim膩na. The story agrees with that of the PCV. The HVP of Jinasena
(ch. 43.99-218) contains this story which agrees with that of the PCR
and mentions P奴r峁嘺bhadra and Manibhadra as the sons of
Samudradatta and Dh膩ri峁噄 of Ayodhy膩. The wife of Heman膩bha is
mentioned to be Dhar膩vat墨. After descending from 膧ran膩cyuta Kalpa,
Madhu and Kaitabha were reborn as Pradyumna und Samba, being
the sons of K峁涐梗峁嘺 begot on Rukmi峁嚹� and J膩mbavat墨 respectively.
In the Uttarapura峁嘺 of Gunabhadra (72. 1-48) their previous births
in the form of jackals are not found. Agnibh奴ti and V膩yubh奴ti were
defeated by a monk in a theological dispute. P奴r峁嘺bhadra and
Manibhadra's parents are mentioned as merchant Arhad膩sa and
Vapra艣r墨 of Ayodhya in place of Samudradatta and Dh膩ri峁嚹� of the PCV.
Madhu and Kr墨岣峚va are the sons of king Arhad膩sa and K膩艣yap膩 of
Hastinapura. When Madhu was enthroned, lord Kanakaratha of
Amalakakanthanagara along with his wife Kanakam膩l膩 visited Madhu.
At that time Kanakam膩l膩 was kidnapped by Madhu On having once
listened to a religious discourse Madhu reproached his own behaviour
and repenting over his own misdeeds became a monk along with
Kr墨dava. Both were reborn as Indras of Mah膩艣ukra. Further they
were reborn as Pradyumna and Sambhava, sons of Rukmini and
Jambavati respectively. The MP (91. 1-6) agrees with the UP. It
names Amalakakanthanagara (92. 5. 8-9) of the UP as Aparaka峁僷apura
or Amarakalpapura (91. 6. 2).
