## Chapter Thirty-Four

The mind, like a well-controlled elephant, guided by the virtuous mahout, conquers the army of sins in the battlefield of austerity. || 996 ||

Those who desire the fruits of sound, form, taste, touch, and smell, and who are driven by the wind of the mind, are like a herd of deer. I, with the strong net of mindfulness, forcefully restrain their accumulated patience and destroy the sins accumulated over time through austerity. || 197-198 ||

Having spoken thus and restraining the impulses of the mind, King Madhu, for the sake of peace from suffering, immersed his intellect in the ocean of knowledge and engaged in austerity. || 199 ||

At that time, a sage named Trimalvahana, accompanied by a thousand other sages, arrived in Ayodhya and resided in the Sahasramra forest. || 200 ||

Hearing of the arrival of the sages, King Madhu, along with his younger brother, Kaithabha, and his wives, went to pay their respects. He performed the rituals of worship and listened to the teachings of Dharma with great attention. || 201 ||

Renouncing worldly pleasures, the cycle of birth and death, physical comforts, and the city, Madhu, along with his brother and many other Kshatriyas, took the vows of Jainism. || 202 ||

Born into a pure lineage, hundreds and thousands of queens, including Chandrabha, who were adorned with vows and good conduct, also renounced the world and became Aryikas. || 203 ||

Madhu's son, Kulavardhana, who was constantly growing in strength, prowess, and victory, protected his lineage. || 204 ||

King Madhu and Kaithabha engaged in severe austerities. They were adorned with the observance of vows, the assembly of the community, and were free from attachments, being liberated sages. || 205 ||

At that time, their only possession was their own body and its parts. They were free from attachment to external and internal objects, and even their body and its parts were not considered possessions. || 206 ||

They practiced fasting for six months at a time, including the months of Vela and Tela, and diligently followed all the principles laid down in the scriptures, thereby destroying their karmas. || 207 ||

Whenever they sat in the sun on the peaks of high mountains, drops of sweat would fall from their bodies, as if the karmas themselves were melting and falling away. || 208 ||

During the rainy season, they would reside at the roots of trees, protecting living beings. Their bodies, like thorns of patience, were not pierced by the arrows of the wind. || 209 ||
