## Fifth Chapter
**The First Chakravarti, Bharata, has passed away, and you, Sagara, are the second. There will be ten more Chakravartis, all marked by the wheel.** (222)
**The Chakravartis are:** 1. Sanatkumara, 2. Maghava, 3. Shanti, 4. Kunthu, 5. Ara, 6. Subhumi, 7. Mahapadma, 8. Harishena, 9. Jayasena, and 10. Brahmadatta. (223)
**There will be nine Vasudevas, accompanied by nine Pratishwaras. There will also be nine Balabhadra, all with minds devoted to Dharma.** (224-225)
**O King! Just as we have described the Tirthankaras, Chakravartis, etc. in the Avasarpini Kala, so too will there be Tirthankaras, etc. in the Utsarpini Kala, in the realms of Bharata and Airavata.** (226)
**Hearing about the cycle of birth and death due to karma, the rise of great souls, and the transformation of time, the wise Meghavahana pondered in his mind:** (227-228)
**Alas! It is a great sorrow that this living being, intoxicated by the intoxicating wine of delusion, is driven by the very karmas that cause him suffering.** (229)
**What is the point of loving things that appear pleasant at first but are like poison in the end, or whose very nature is to cause suffering?** (230)
**Even after spending a long time attached to wealth, women, and relatives, one must journey through the world alone.** (231)
**Just as a puppy follows its master as long as it receives food, so too do all beings in this world remain attached to those who give them something.** (232)
**So much time has passed, yet who has gone to the other world with their relatives, spouses, friends, or loved ones?** (233)
**The pleasures of the five senses are like the body of a snake, terrifying and leading to hell. What sentient being would be attached to such things?** (234)
**Oh, what a great wonder it is that Lakshmi, when she is approached with devotion, deceives those who rely on her. What could be more wicked than this?** (235)
