________________
BUNKACHULA (The benefits of vows and codes) On his way to Ujjaini, Jinadas saw some goddesses crying. He asked them -
What is the trouble? Why
are you crying ?
POR
We are goddesses from Saudharma
heaven. Our husband has reincarnated in the land of humans. Now Bunkachula is destined to be our
husband. But you are going to convince him to break the vow. When he breaks his vow he will have a low reincarnation and will not
come to be our husband. We will remain unmarried.

Jinadas said -
O divine ones! Please don't cry. I will not convince him to
break his vow. I will do nothing that would block
his higher rebirth.
Jinadas proceeded to the palace in Ujjaini, went to Bunkachula and said -
O prince ! It is all right if death
consumes you, it is all right if poverty envelopes you, but never break the vow you have taken.
