## Chapter Forty-One
Driven by curiosity, the Kshatriyas, including Dasārha, Mahābhaja, Vṛṣṇi, Kṛṣṇa, and Nemijina, approached the tumultuous ocean. ||1||
The ocean, like a maddened elephant, sported with its waves, its spray scattering in all directions. The fish, leaping and diving, seemed to open and close their eyes. ||2||
With its towering, restless waves, the ocean seemed to envy the vastness of the sky, striving to engulf it from all sides. ||3||
The Kshatriyas beheld the ocean, swirling with its mighty waves, teeming with fearsome crocodiles, and surrounded by makari-like elephants. ||4||
Like the ocean of Jain scriptures, which even with effort cannot be crossed, so too, this ocean remained unconquerable for those lacking the wisdom to build a vessel. Just as the ocean of Jain scriptures, due to its profound depth, cannot be transgressed, so too, this ocean, with its immense depth, remained impenetrable. ||5||
Like the ocean of Jain scriptures, adorned with magnificent waves and vast waters, so too, this ocean was filled with tides, waves, and foam. ||6||
Like the ocean of Jain scriptures, a treasure trove of the supreme jewels of self-substance, right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, and the pearls of liberation, so too, this ocean was a repository of precious gems and pearls, imbued with the finest qualities. ||7||
