## The Twenty-Third Chapter
Once upon a time, King Dasharatha, adorned with great brilliance and resembling Indra in splendor, was seated in his assembly, engrossed in the tales of the Jina Kings. Suddenly, Narada, a wise man and a beacon of virtue, arrived, his body radiating light.
The King rose to greet him, offering him a comfortable seat. Narada blessed the King, and the wise King inquired about his well-being. Narada replied with news of his welfare, and the King, in turn, asked about his journey.
"From where do you come, O Lord? Where have you been traveling? What have you seen and heard? Is there any land you have not visited?" asked the King.
Narada, his heart filled with joy at the mention of the Jina, and his body tingling with excitement, replied, "O King, I have been to Videha, a land cherished by the virtuous, adorned with the Meru, Gaja, and Vijaya mountains, the very foundations of the Jina temples."
"There, in the city of Pundarika, radiant with the brilliance of countless jewels, I witnessed the initiation ceremony of Simandhara Swami. The sky was filled with celestial chariots, adorned with banners and umbrellas, and the arrival of the gods, a sight to behold. Just as the gods of this land celebrated the coronation of Muni Suvrata on Mount Meru, so too did they celebrate his coronation there. I heard the stories of Muni Suvrata, the Jina, just as they are told here, and I saw them unfold before my very eyes. I saw countless temples, towering and vast, adorned with precious jewels, where worship is offered without cease."
