## The Third Chapter
The propagation of the Dharma Tirtha by the Jineshvara in Madhya Desha (Central India) dispelled the ignorance about the Tirtha in all the countries. ||1||
Just as the polluted ponds become pure upon the rise of the Agastya constellation in the world, similarly, upon the rise of the Jineshvara, the polluted hearts of the people became pure. ||2||
Just as the glorious Lord Rishabhadeva, the beloved of the noble ones, had previously wandered through many countries and imbued them with Dharma, similarly, Lord Mahavira, adorned with magnificence, wandered through the countries of Kashi, Kaushal, Kaushalya, Kusandhya, Asvastha, Salwa, Trigart, Panchal, Bhadrakar, Patacchara, Mauka, Matsya, Kaniya, Surasen, and Vrikarthaka in the middle country, and the countries of Kalinga, Kurujangala, Kaikeya, Atreya, Kamboja, Bahrika, Yavana, Sindhu, Gandhara, Sauvira, Sura, Bhir, Daroruka, Vadavana, Bharadvaja, and Kwathatosha on the seacoast, and the countries of Tana, Karna, and Prachhala in the north, and imbued them with Dharma. ||3-7||
When the radiant sun of the Jineshvara, spreading the light of pure knowledge, shone brightly, where did the splendor of the various false Dharma-like fireflies disappear? It was not known. ||8||
At that time, those who had seen the body of Lord Vardhamana Jineshvara, heard his divine voice, and witnessed his magnificence, had no attachment to the words of other men. ||9||
They were naturally adorned with the ten great qualities: a body free from impurities and excretions, absence of sweat, blood like cow's milk, a body like a vajra (diamond), a square body, a very beautiful form, an extraordinary fragrance, a body with one thousand and eight auspicious marks, infinite strength, and words that were beneficial and pleasing. ||10-11||
And, upon attaining perfect knowledge, they were adorned with eyes that were always calm and wide open, nails and hair that were perfectly arranged and lustrous, absence of a throat, absence of old age, no shadow of their body, and a single, perfectly radiant face. ||12||
