## Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Story of the Lineage
This is a very sacred Yavritta verse, which was sung by the Shrenik, a great joy to the people. Listen, O resident of the city of Susauriya, I will tell you the wondrous story of the main Dasha. ||3||
From the time of the Jina's descent from the heavens, six months before his birth, the gods, following the command of Indra, showered the house of King Samudravijaya with gold. ||2||
This rain of gold, falling daily in a quantity of three and a half crore, filled the world with joy. It satisfied all the beggars. Indeed, what difference is there in the recipients of a rain of wealth? ||3||
From the directions, the Dikkumari goddesses, who had come from the front of the directions, were serving the mother Shivadevi with devotion. They were announcing that the victorious Jina, who was about to be born in the mother's womb, had conquered the entire group of directions in the three worlds. ||4||
Seeing various wonders with her husband, Shivadevi's mind was filled with great joy. One night, while sleeping, she saw sixteen auspicious dreams. ||5||
In the first dream, she saw Indra's Airavata elephant, from whose every side flowed continuous streams of intoxicating water. The elephant filled the directions with its sound, and on its back, black bees, like dark tamala flowers, buzzed. The elephant was as stable as Mount Kailasa. ||6||
In the second dream, she saw Ambika's great bull, with beautiful horns, a high hump, hooves that dug into the earth, a very long tail and neck, and very long eyes. The bull was white in color, and its voice was as deep as the roar of a cloud. ||7||
