## Chapter Twenty-One: The Lineage and Story of Kirti Dhar
**457**
How could the child, shining like the sun, be kept hidden for long? A poor man, driven by greed, informed the king, revealing the secret. [161]
The king, overjoyed, bestowed upon him a crown and other ornaments, along with the beautiful city of Ghosha, a branch city, adorned with a hundred prosperous villages. [162]
He summoned the child, born of a single parent, and placed him on his throne, surrounded by great splendor, earning the respect of all. [163]
The city of Kosala became exceptionally beautiful due to the child's birth. Therefore, the child, known for his noble deeds, was named Sukosala. [164]
Leaving the confines of his palace, Kirti Dhar, the king, went to the forest of penance and, radiating the brilliance of his spiritual practice, shone like the sun, free from the constraints of material wealth. [165]
Thus ends the twenty-first chapter of the Padma Charita, narrated by Acharya Ravishena, titled "The Greatness of Muni Suvrata, Vajra Bahu, and Kirti Dhar." [21]
**Time is kept secret and protected.** [160]
