In the **Papouraana**,
He was adorned with a garland of jewels, radiating pure brilliance, like the spring season adorned with a multitude of blooming flowers. ||371||
He was gazed upon by women filled with insatiable joy, their **chamaras** gently raised, their expressions full of excitement. ||372||
He was delighted by the sounds of various instruments and the melodious cries of victory, accompanied by the finest dancing courtesans. ||373||
Thus, he entered Lanka, filled with joy and numerous festivities, and was welcomed by his family and servants, entering his own abode. ||374||
**Gautama Swami** tells King **Shrenik** that Indra, the **Vidhyadhara**, who had achieved great prosperity through the power of his past good deeds, having conquered all his enemies, well-prepared and as insignificant as blades of grass, lost his radiance and wealth when his **punya karma** diminished. Alas for the fleeting happiness of mortals! ||375||
And **Ravana**, the **Vidhyadhara**, through the power of his past good deeds, destroyed all his powerful enemies and achieved great prosperity. Knowing that all actions in the world are born of **karma**, O noble ones! Abandon attachment to other things and accumulate the **punya karma** that shines like the sun. ||376||
Thus ends the twelfth chapter of the **Padmacharita**, narrated by the **Acharya** **Ravishena**, known as **Aarsha**, describing the defeat of Indra, the **Vidhyadhara**. ||12||
