The fifty-fifth chapter: Here, the Lord, with the intention of performing a great penance, abandoned the palanquin-like seat, which was present on the earth, and which was pleasing to the gods, and went to the stone floor, like Naminath Bhagwan, to abandon the illusion of the earth. ||118|| Then, the extremely intelligent Lord Neminath, whose lotus-seat and patience were very radiant, and who was devoted to the thought of renouncing his beloved wife and the wealth of the kingdom, removed the garland, clothes, and all ornaments from within the curtain, and became free from possessions and full of compassion. With his soft-fingered, strong five fists, he immediately plucked out the thick, black hair, which was very beautiful and which only very timid people keep on their bodies for a long time. ||119-120|| The penance that Lord Neminath had undertaken was also undertaken by a thousand kings along with him. At that time, the sun's heat did not scorch the honorless Lord, because it was stopped by the umbrella placed by Indra, or the water of the umbrella was falling there. Due to its effect, the heat of the sun was not able to make them unhappy. ||121|| At that time, the group of kings, who were free from anger and possessed self-control, were becoming beautiful by plucking out the crooked hair tied on their heads by their own selves. It was as if they were removing the long-standing tradition of crooked thorns. ||122||
