## Second Chapter
The assembly hall was always filled with people entering and exiting. Just as the sun's disc is never devoid of its vast rays, so too was the assembly hall always filled with people. [144] The rising and setting of the sun could not be perceived there due to the brilliance of the Dharmachakra and the Prabhamandal. [145] The Tirthankara, residing on the Vipulachal, delivered sermons every day. The King Shrenik served him daily, for the enjoyment of the three worlds cannot bring true satisfaction. [146] Having met Gautama Ganadhara, the King became proficient in all the Anuyogas through his teachings. [147] Thereafter, King Shrenik filled the city of Rajgriha, both inside and outside, with towering Jin temples, where glory and festivities constantly took place. [148] The King's devoted Samantas, Mahamantris, Purohitas, and other people of the kingdom filled the entire Magadha region with Jin temples. [149] In cities, villages, towns, at the foot of mountains, on riverbanks, and in the depths of forests, Jin temples were everywhere to be seen. [150] Thus, the great Lord Vardhamana Jinendra, the sun who destroys the darkness of ignorance, who ends the winter of false knowledge, and who is adorned with the Prabhamandal of knowledge, enlightened the people of the eastern region, including the people of Magadha, and then, with the same glory, proceeded towards the vast middle region, the abode of midday splendor. [151]
Thus ends the second chapter, titled "Dharma Tirtha Pravartana," in the Harivansha Purana, composed by Acharya Jinaseena, which contains the collection of the Purana of Lord Arishtanemi. [2]
