Dhankumar and Dhanvati had accumulated virtuous merit as they had diligently followed the five great vows of Jain ascetism. Consequently, after their death they were born as celestial beings in the Saudharm heaven. Because of the karma from their previous lives, even in their current life as celestial beings, they had feelings of love and affection towards each other. Experiencing a fulfilling life of comfort and happiness, they eventually completed their life span as celestial beings.
