## Chapter Twelve
**273** Remembering the excellent character of Sumitra Raja, his heart became like a broken leaf. **58** He thought, "Sumitra was a good and virtuous man. He was my best friend, my helper in all matters." **59** "We studied together at the Guru's house. I was born into a poor family, but he made me equal to him." **60** "My wife, with a heart free from hatred, was sent to me by that compassionate one, free from desire, because sin had entered my mind." **61** "Knowing that she was the wife of my friend, I was filled with extreme anxiety and was about to cut off my head with a sword, but he protected me." **62** "Without faith in the Jina's teachings, I died and went to hell, experiencing such suffering that even remembering it is unbearable." **63** "The consequences of my actions, the condemnation of the virtuous group who follow the path of liberation, I have received in the form of suffering in many births." **64** "And he, Sumitra, having lived a pure life, enjoyed supreme happiness in the heaven of Aishana. Now he has fallen from there and become Madhu." **65** "Attracted by the kindness of his friend, Madhu, whose heart was filled with love, came out of his palace." **66** "With great respect, he worshipped his friend with precious jewels and gave him a spear-jewel called Sahasrantaka." **67** "Madhu, the son of Harivahana, received the spear-jewel and was filled with great joy on earth. He became the master of the art of weapons." **68** "Whoever reads or hears this story of Madhu will attain great brilliance, wealth, and long life." **69** "Then, followed by many vassals, Ravana, who destroyed the world, spread his influence, subduing his enemies and creating many wonders, filled with love." **70** "He spent eighteen years, creating wonders in the world, just like Indra in the heavens." **71**
