## Chapter Twenty-Eight

375. Due to the karmic bond of enmity from past lives, the prince, Mrigadhwaja, cut off the leg of the buffalo with a wheel. ||26||

When the king learned of this, he was enraged and ordered Mrigadhwaja to be killed. The minister, being wise, did not kill him but secretly took him to the forest and initiated him into the order of monks. ||27||

Bhadraka, due to auspicious circumstances, died on the eighteenth day, and on the twenty-second day, Mrigadhwaja, through pure meditation, became a Kevali (omniscient). ||28||

He was worshipped by the gods of the four Nikayas and humans. His father, Jitshatru, then asked him about the karmic connection between him and the buffalo. ||29||

Surrounded by gods, demons, and humans, whose hearts and ears were filled with joy at hearing his words, the Muni Mrigadhwaja spoke. ||30||

Once, in the city of Alka, there lived a king of the Vidyadharas named Ashvagriva, who was the enemy of the first Narayana, Tripishta. ||31||

His minister was Harishmashru, who had crossed the ocean of logic and was as difficult to touch as a lion's mane. ||32||

Harishmashru was an atheist, a staunch skeptic, and believed only in direct perception. He considered anything not directly perceived as non-existent. ||33||

He argued that just as the power of intoxication is not present in flour, but arises from the combination of various ingredients, similarly, the power of consciousness arises in this body from the combination of the four elements, which was not present before. ||34||

People's use of the term "soul" in relation to this consciousness is not contradictory, meaning there is no problem with people calling this consciousness the soul. In reality, there is no soul in the world separate from the elements, as it cannot be found. ||35||

The ignorant believe in a soul that is the doer of good and bad deeds, the experiencer of pleasure and pain, and the one who goes to the afterlife. But this is not true, as it cannot be seen. ||36||

The afterlife, with its divisions of hell, heaven, and the intermediate realms, is a mere figment of the imagination of the ignorant. There is no such thing as a soul that is the basis for the experience of these realms. ||37||
