The twenty-fifth chapter:
The queen Aparajita, sleeping peacefully in her palace, on a bed adorned with a lake of shining jewels, saw wondrous dreams in the last watch of the night, dreams that foretold the birth of a great man. She saw these dreams as vividly as if she were awake.
In the first dream, she saw a white elephant, in the second a lion, in the third the sun, and in the fourth the moon. Upon seeing these, she awoke to the auspicious sounds of trumpets.
Her mind filled with wonder, Aparajita performed her morning rituals. As the world was illuminated by the sun's rays, she went to her husband, her heart filled with anxiety to know the meaning of her dreams. She was accompanied by her friends, and she adorned the royal throne.
With a slight bow, Aparajita joined her hands and recounted her dreams to her husband, who listened attentively.
Then, King Dasharatha, the seer of all knowledge, standing amidst the assembly of wise men, revealed the meaning of the dreams. He said, "My dear, the reason for your wonder is that you will give birth to a son who will destroy all enemies, both internal and external."
Upon hearing this, Aparajita was filled with joy. She touched her belly and her lotus-like face was adorned with a gentle smile.
With a pure heart, Aparajita, along with her delighted husband, performed grand worship at the Jain temples.
From that day forward, her beauty increased, and though her heart was filled with great strength, she also experienced a profound peace.
Later, the beautiful queen Sumitra also had dreams. She was astonished and her body trembled with excitement, her dreams filled with auspicious meaning.
