IV. THE ALLEGORY OF PURANJANA.
SKANDHA IV. CHAP. 25-29.
There was a king called Puranjana. He had a friend, but
the king knew not his name nor his doings. Puranjana went in
search of a place to live in. He went about on all sides, but found
no suitable abode. At last while roaming south of the Himalayas,
he found one Puri (town) in Bharata Varsha (India), The marks
were all favourable. There were nine gateways. In one of the
gardens he found a most beautiful young lady. She had ten atten-
dants. Each of them had hundreds of wives. One five-headed
serpent was the warder of the town and he constantly guarded his
mistress. The lady was on the look out for one to be her 1 lord.
Puranjana broke forth into words of love, and asked who she was.
"O thou greatest of men!" exclaimed the lady, " I know not who I
am or who thou art. Nor do I know who made us both. This
only I know, that I now exist. I do not know even who made this
town for me. These are my companions male and female. This
serpent guards the town, even when we are all asleep. Luckily
hast thou come here. I shall try with all my companions to bring
to thee all objects of desire. Be thou the lord of this Puri for one
hundred years. And accept all enjoyments brought by me." Puran-
jana entered the Puri and lived in enjoyment there for one hundred
years.
Of the nine gateways, seven were upper and two lower five
on the east (Purva, which also means front), one on the south
(Dakshina), one on the north (Uttara) and two on the west
(Paschima). Two of them Khady??ta and Avirmukhi were close to
each other and Puranjana used them whenever he would go out to
see Vibhrajita in the company of Dyumat.
Nalini and Nalini were also two passages built together.
Puranjana used them with the help of Avadhuta in order to repair
to Saurabha.
The Mukhya passage was used for Apana and BahCidana.
