## Chapter Fifty-Six
The Tirthankara, having preached in all the lands, moved from the north towards the land of Saurashtra. [1]
Having crossed the Uttarayana (northern solstice) and entered the Dakshinayana (southern solstice), the brilliance of the Jina remained as pervasive as before. [2]
The Lord, adorned with the glory of the Samvasarana, wandered in the south, and the lands shone like heaven. [3]
At the end, the Jina, who was to attain Nirvana-Kalyanak, ascended Mount Girnar, served by humans, gods, and demons. [4]
As before, the Samvasarana was established there, free from defilement, and filled with humans and gods. [5]
The Jina, seated in the Samvasarana, preached the Dharma, the purifier of the three jewels, the sole means to attain heaven and liberation, and approved by the virtuous. [6]
Just as the Jina, the benefactor of all, had preached the Dharma in detail in his first assembly after attaining omniscience, so too did he preach it in detail in his final assembly. [7]
Just as fire has upward flames and heat, water has coolness, wind has speed, luminous objects like the sun and moon have radiance, space has formlessness, and earth has the capacity to hold things, all by their nature, so too was the preaching of the Jina, who had fulfilled his purpose, natural and not inspired by anyone. [8-9]
Then, the Jina, who suppressed yoga, ended the karmas that lead to rebirth, and attained Nirvana with hundreds of monks. [10]
The four types of Jain gods, led by Indra, performed the rituals of Nirvana-Kalyanak, which are meant for the body. [11]
