Here the king, having fulfilled his duty of continuing the line, withdraws to austerity. It is significant that, having handed over power, he does not cling to the throne but turns to the highest: one who has fulfilled his worldly duty is free to seek the spiritual. Scripture thus shows the good order of life — labor, and then renunciation; and next comes the rise of Jarasandha.
