## The Sixteenth Chapter
**In the Vasantatilaka metre**
After the Tirthankara Shitalnath, nine Tirthankaras will successively establish the Dharma in the Bharat Kshetra for the benefit of the world's beings. In due course, the twentieth Tirthankara will attain liberation and descend from heaven. ||1||
By the command of Indra, Kubera daily fills the house of King Sumitra with a stream of exquisite jewels. At the end of the night, Queen Padmavati, lying on a soft bed, saw sixteen dreams: 1. Elephant, 2. Bull, 3. Lion, 4. Lakshmi, 5. Garland of flowers, 6. Moon, 7. Young Sun, 8. Fish, 9. Pitcher, 10. Lotus pond, 11. Ocean, 12. Throne, 13. Divine chariot, 14. Serpent King's palace, 15. Heap of jewels, and 16. Fire. ||2-3||
Adorned by ninety-nine Dikkamari goddesses, who possess unparalleled divine radiance, the Tirthankara mother Padmavati, upon waking, sat on a bed of fruits. She appeared as radiant as the moon adorned with stars in the sky. ||4||
With lotus-like eyes, face, hands, and feet, filled with love and joy, and holding a white lotus in her hand, Queen Padmavati approached King Sumitra, seated on a high throne in the morning. She seemed like a terrestrial lotus adorned with many lotuses, approaching the Sun, Sumitra, on the eastern horizon. ||5||
She was adorned with various garments like water, her anklets jingled like the chirping of birds, her eyes were like fish, and her body was adorned with waves like the Trivali. This river-like woman approached the ocean-like King Sumitra. This was indeed fitting. ||6||
With her breasts heavy, her body bent like a staff, her arms soft like tender branches, and adorned with jewels, this young woman, like a creeper, bowed to the King, who was like a wish-fulfilling tree. ||7||
