## Padma Purana
**Verse 525:** The necklaces of the women were falling apart, their breasts were heavy and they were pushing each other. The women were making a lot of noise with their anklets and feet, as they moved around.
**Verse 526:** "Mother, can't you see? Move aside, you are blocking my way!" "Get out of here, you don't belong here!" These were the words being spoken by the women.
**Verse 527:** Their faces were blooming with joy, and they had abandoned all other activities, their eyes fixed only on Dashaanan.
**Verse 528:** Dashaanan, the vanquisher of Yama, resided in his beautiful palace, adorned with jewels, like the jewel of Lanka, along with his inner court, enjoying his happiness.
**Verse 529:** The other Vidyaadhara kings, like the Devas, were also experiencing great joy and remained in their respective places.
**Verse 530:** Gautama Swami said to King Shrenik, "O Shrenik! Those who perform pure actions, obtain various kinds of wealth, including jewels, their powerful enemies are destroyed, and they attain glorious fame that spreads throughout the world."
**Verse 531:** "The five senses are the most powerful enemies. Those who perform pure actions, even these powerful enemies lose their memory in all three worlds, meaning they are destroyed to the point that they are not even remembered. Similarly, the group of external enemies constantly bow down at the feet of those who perform pure actions. In essence, both internal and external enemies are destroyed for those who perform pure actions."
**Verse 532:** "Therefore, O men of noble minds, it is not right to worship the enemies in the form of worldly desires. Those who worship them fall into the abyss of hell, filled with darkness, and do not attain the supreme state illuminated by the rays of the sun."
