In the Padma Purana, wise ones who know the state of the world do not get angry at others, for they are merely the cause of their happiness or suffering. ||24||
The son of Kekasi has become my friend, who has freed me from the great bondage of household life. ||249||
Bhanukarna is also my well-wisher now, who has caused the war that has led to my supreme detachment. ||250||
Thinking thus, he took the Digambara initiation and, by proper worship of the austerities, attained the supreme abode. ||251||
Having washed away the stain of defeat upon his family, Dashaanan (Ravana) lived happily on earth, and all his relatives considered him their leader. ||252||
Then the beautiful Dhanada (Kubera)'s Pushpaka Vimana was brought to Ravana by his servants. That Pushpaka Vimana was very beautiful, Dhanada was its owner, its peak was studded with various kinds of jewels, its windows were its eyes, the garland of pearls that was attached to it emitted a group of pure radiance, and it seemed as if it were constantly shedding tears due to the separation from its owner. Its front part was made of Padmaraga gems, so when he wore it, it seemed as if he had beaten his heart a lot due to grief, which is why he was wearing a very red hue. In some places, the radiance of Indranila gems was covering it, which made it seem as if he had attained a very dark complexion due to grief. It seemed like a city, being accompanied by Chaitya temples, forests, the front parts of houses, wells, and palaces. Various weapons had inflicted wounds on that Vimana, it was very high, it seemed like a divine abode, and it was like an ornament of the sky. ||253-258||
Dashaanan wanted to keep that Pushpaka Vimana with him, considering it a sign of the defeat of his enemies, otherwise, what vehicle made by knowledge did he not have? ||259||
He mounted that Vimana, along with his ministers, vehicles, citizens, sons, parents, and relatives. ||260||
All efforts are... ||245||
Suffering or happiness are merely causes for others, therefore, wise ones who know the state of the world do not get angry at them, meaning they do not experience joy or sorrow towards the cause. ||248||
He, the ten-headed one, is my well-wisher, who has freed me, the foolish one, from the great bondage of household life. ||249||
Bhanukarna is also my well-wisher now, who has caused the war that has led to my supreme detachment. ||250||
Thinking thus, he took the Digambara initiation and, by proper worship of the austerities, attained the supreme abode. ||251||
_Here, Dashaanan also washed away the stain of defeat upon his family and lived happily on earth, and all his relatives considered him their leader. ||252||
