## The Second Chapter: Of the City Surrounded by the Great Mountain, the Forest, and the Ditch
**10.** The light is spreading, somewhere the brilliance of diamonds is spreading, and somewhere the blue-blue glow of lapis lazuli gems is scattering. Even being one with all of them, it always retains the beauty of the mine of all gems.
**11.** The city, shaped like a cave, with large mounds of dust, and surrounded by families, could only be reached by the circle of friends, i.e., the sun, not by the circle of enemies, i.e., the enemies.
**12.** The description of the qualities of this city is sufficient in itself, that the city was the foundation of Lord Mahavira when he descended from heaven - Lord Mahavira descended from heaven there.
**13.** Born to King Sarvarth and Queen Shrimati, the king there was Siddharth, the seer of all things, radiant like the sun, and the achiever of all goals and purposes.
**14.** When Siddharth protected it, the earth was only afflicted with this one fault, that its people, though desiring Dharma, had abandoned the fear of the afterlife. Meaning - those who desire Dharma, they must have the fear of the afterlife, heaven, hell, etc., but the people there had abandoned the fear of the afterlife. This is a contradiction, but the meaning of the afterlife is that the contradiction with the enemies is removed, i.e., the people there desired Dharma and were free from the fear of enemies.
**15.** Who can describe the excellent qualities of that king Siddharth, who attained the position of father of Lord Vardhaman Swami himself?
**16.** The queen Priyakarini, who was like a river of natural affection born from the mountain of a high lineage, was the beloved wife of King Siddharth, who was like the ocean of Lakshmi.
**17.** Among those seven daughters who had filled the heart of King Chetak with excessive affection, Priyakarini was the eldest daughter.
**18.** Who is capable of describing the qualities of Trisala (Priyakarini), who was destined to give birth to Lord Mahavira by her own merit?
**19.** Then, when all the rows of gods were bowing from all sides, when the rain of gems was falling from the sky due to the effect, and when Lord Mahavira was about to descend from the highest Pushpottar Vimana of the Achyuta heaven to protect the beings from his Tirtha.
