## Ninth Chapter
**179**
For the awakening of the world, the Sun rises every day. Similarly, the Jinaraka (Jina, the Sun) did not feel any sorrow in wandering the world for the sake of awakening the people. ||155||
Just as the Lord of heat (Sun), with his shoulders not burdened for six months, is worshipped by the people and wanders in order, ||156||
So, the Lord, accompanied by elephants, reached the city of Hastinapura. The city was filled with elephants, as if announcing the prevalence of giving (charity). ||157||
In that city, the two brothers, Soma Prabha and Shreyans, the kings, saw these dreams in their sleep: ||158||
The Moon, Indra's flag, Mount Meru, lightning, the Kalpa tree, the island of jewels, the flying chariot, and the Supreme Being (Purushottama). ||159||
In the morning, the two, the best of the Kuru lineage, were astonished in the assembly and discussed the fruits of their auspicious dreams with the learned group. ||160||
The learned ones explained the fruits of the dreams as follows: "Just as the Kumuda (Moon) is the friend of the Kumuda (Lotus), so too, a friend of ours, who is like the Moon, will arrive here today, possessing excellent radiance. He will be the bearer of the flag of high fame, the mountain of all welfare in the world, the Kalpa tree for fulfilling the desires of the world, one who will show his form for a moment like lightning, the great island of jewels of Dharma, and one who has descended from the celestial world of flying chariots. Just as the Lord Rishabhadeva has shown himself in the dream, will he not appear in person today? The splendor of the city and the royal palace is visible today, a splendor never seen before. And the purity of the directions is also announcing good fortune." ||161-164||
Knowing the fruits of the dreams, and having appointed many people inside and outside, the two powerful brothers were discussing the Jina, when the loud sound of the conch shell blown at midday arose. That sound of the conch seemed to be increasing their joy, as if it were announcing the arrival of the Jina. ||165-166||
