## The Twentieth Chapter
The learned Shrenik, with a humble heart and a clear mind, having heard this, bowed down at the feet of the Ganadhara and said with wonder, "O Lord! By your grace, I have come to know the origin of the eighth Pratinarayana, and the difference between the monkey and demon lineages. Now, O Lord, I wish to hear the story of the twenty-four Tirthankaras and the twelve Chakravartis, along with their past lives, as it is the cause of purifying the mind."
"And, O Lord, who was the eighth Balabhadra, famous throughout the world, born in what lineage, and what were his deeds?"
"O great sage! I also wish to know the names of their fathers and others. O Lord, you are worthy of telling all this."
Thus addressed, the great-souled, expert in ultimate truth, Ganadhara, pleased by the excellent question, spoke these words: "Listen, Shrenik, I will tell you the story of the past lives of the Tirthankaras, which destroys sin and is worshipped by the Indras."
"Rishabha, Ajita, Sambhava, Abhinandan, Sumati, Padma Prabha, Supaikha, Chandra Prabha, Suvidhi (Pushpadanta), Sheetal, Shreyans, Vasupujya, Vimala, Ananta, Dharma, Shanti, Kunthu, Ara, Malli (Muni) Suvrata Nath, Nami, Nemi, Parshva, and Mahavira, these are the names of the twenty-four Tirthankaras. Mahavira is the last Tirthankara, and his reign continues even now."
"Now, I will describe their past-life cities: the most excellent Pundarika, Susima, the very beautiful Kshema, and the most excellent Ratna Sanchay Puri, shining with precious jewels, these four cities were very excellent and well-organized. From Rishabha Deva to Vasupujya Bhagavan, these were the capitals of the Tirthankaras in their past lives, three by three. In these cities, there were always festivals."
"The past-life capitals of the remaining twelve Tirthankaras were as follows: Sumahanagar, Arishtpur, Sumadrika, Pundarika, Susima, Kshema, Vitashoka, Champa, Kaushambi, 1. Padma Nabha, 2. Prabhu, 3. Vimala Nath, 4. Mahan + Ara."
