## Forty-ninth Chapter
**493**
The three jewels of Right Faith, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct, together with the **Chaityasharira** (body of merit), are the source of happiness, peace, nourishment, and contentment. They are the cause of the accumulation of great merit, which leads to the attainment of numerous blessings in this life and the next. They are the cause of the destruction of thousands of types of **Aasrava** (influx of karma) that are the source of all sins. They destroy even the most terrible sins accumulated in past lives due to attachment, delusion, and other such emotions. This is the main hymn that generates supreme devotion towards the **Jinendra** (Jina).
Thus ends the forty-ninth chapter of the **Harivaṃśa** (a Jain text), composed by **Jinaseṇa Ācārya**, which is part of the **Ariṣṭanemi Purāṇa** and describes the praise sung by Indra during the birth ceremony. || 39 ||
