## Tenth Chapter:
**197**
The fruit of the indirect evidence is the arising of the intellect to abandon the undesirable and to accept the desirable, while the fruit of the direct evidence is the absence of attachment and aversion, and the destruction of the previous delusion. ||155||
The fourfold knowledge, namely, faith, knowledge, conduct, and liberation, are the causes of liberation. The eternal, pure knowledge is the direct cause of liberation. ||156||
Faith in the objects known through evidence is called right faith, and the inclination towards auspicious actions is called right conduct. ||157||
Right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, these three are the means of liberation. Therefore, a person desiring the highest wealth should have faith in them and act accordingly. ||158||
There is no other cause of liberation, nor was there, nor will there be. This is the essence of all. ||159||
Thus, having drunk the medicine in the form of the words of the first Tirthankara, the three worlds became free from the disease of doubt, and became as beautiful as if they had attained liberation. ||160||
In that auspicious age, those beings who had already accepted the three jewels as ornaments, became even more steadfast in their faith upon hearing the divine sound of the Lord. And many new people took initiation into the monk and lay follower dharma, and became adorned with the qualities of right faith, etc. ||161||
The four types of gods, endowed with pure right faith and right knowledge, and eager to wander in the world, bowed down to the Lord Jinendra, who was accompanied by the fourfold sangha, and went to their respective abodes. ||162||
King Bharateshwara, who was in the householder stage and was the chief among the lay followers, worshipped the Lord Jinendra and, filled with joy, returned to Ayodhya with the noble kings. ||163||
Thus ends the tenth chapter of the Harivansha Purana, composed by Jinaseena Acharya, which is a collection of the Arishta-nemi Purana, and describes the beginning of the dharma-tirtha by the first Tirthankara. ||164||
