## Chapter Fourteen
**329**
Some ignorant people, unaware of the path to Dharma, do not strive for it, being foolish and unrighteous. **319**
Due to the influence of their evil karmas, some humans, even though they are wise, do not follow the path to Dharma, being engrossed in evil deeds. **320**
When the evil karmas that hinder good deeds are pacified, some beings, with a sincere desire, approach a Guru and inquire about Dharma. **321**
The words of the Guru become meaningful for those who, after the pacification of their impure karmas, engage in righteous conduct. **322**
Those wise beings who abandon evil deeds and follow this rule become either the first or the second in heaven, possessing great virtues. **323**
Those who, out of devotion, spend their time serving the monks and then eat, are always desired by the gods in heaven to be happy. **324**
Those with great brilliance become the Indra of the assembly of gods, or they attain the status of a Samanika, fulfilling their desires. **325**
Just as a small seed of a banyan tree grows into a tall tree, similarly, even a small amount of tapasya bears the fruit of great enjoyment. **326**
One who is constantly devoted to Dharma, due to the influence of their past good deeds, becomes a handsome person with captivating eyes, like Kubera. **327**
A man named Sahasrabhata, who had adopted the Munivelavrata (eating after the monks have finished), once offered food to a Muni. As a result, his house was showered with jewels, and he became Kubera in his next life. **328**
He was famous throughout the earth, with a noble character and great strength, possessing immense wealth and surrounded by servants. **329**
Like the full moon, his body was extremely beautiful, and he enjoyed the highest pleasures, being knowledgeable in all scriptures. **330**
Due to the influence of his past good deeds, he attained supreme dispassion and received the great initiation from the mouth of Jinendra. **331**
And the beautiful maidservants are obtained as a result of good deeds. **315-318**
