Harivamsha Purana
Drutavilambita Vrittam
Serve the purity of truthful speech, which is flawless, which is bright with its own glory, which is full of virtues, which is victorious, and which is declared by the omniscient. ||158||
In this world, in times of adversity and defeat, good conduct is a refuge for beings, because the fruit of good conduct, which is policy and valor, overcomes the anger of the enemy. ||159||
The Dharma, which is like a row of flames, is like the rainy season to destroy the summer of the increasing heat, is a single Jina Agama to refute others, and is a treasure trove of various benefits, such a Vrata Vidhana is certainly worthy of being adopted by those who use the stick of the Shruta as collyrium. ||160||
Thus ends the forty-fifth chapter of the Harivamsha Purana, composed by Jinasena Acharya, which is part of the collection of the Arishtanemi Purana, which describes the origin of the Kuru dynasty, the meeting of the Pandavas and the Kauravas, and the marriage of Arjuna to Draupadi. ||45||
