**Chapter 37**
Rama is seated in the assembly hall of King Prithividhar. At that time, a messenger from King Ativirya arrives with a letter for King Prithividhar. The letter states that Ativirya is going on a campaign against King Bharata and requests immediate assistance. Upon Rama's inquiry, the messenger explains the reason for the campaign against Bharata. After receiving Rama's signal, King Prithividhar assures the messenger and sends him off. After mutual discussion, Rama, Lakshmana, Sita, and the sons of Prithividhar set out towards Ativirya's capital. Upon reaching there, they decided upon a course of action. Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita, disguised as dancers, entered Ativirya's court. They captivated him with their unparalleled music and skillful dance. Seeing the spectacle, a dancer reprimanded Ativirya, stating that his campaign against Bharata would lead to his death. She advised him to pay homage to Bharata if he wished to live. Hearing this reprimand and praise for Bharata, Ativirya, filled with pride, raised his sword to kill the dancers. Lakshmana swiftly snatched the sword and used it to subdue Ativirya, striking fear into the hearts of all the kings present. Witnessing this extraordinary power of the dancers, the assembled kings fled. Rama and Lakshmana brought the bound Ativirya before Sita. Seeing his sorrowful state, Sita was moved with compassion and had him released. Ativirya renounced all worldly possessions and embraced Jain initiation. Rama and Lakshmana, like night clouds, moved forward, protecting Bharata in an unseen manner.
**Chapter 38**
Rama performed the coronation of Ativirya's son, Vijayaratha. Upon hearing of Ativirya's transformation into a monk, Bharata went to seek his blessings. He apologized for his actions and praised the monk. Bharata was unaware of the dancers' true identity and was immersed in a sea of wonder. Assuring Vanamala, Rama and Lakshmana moved forward. They stopped outside the city of Kshemanjalipur. After a meal, Lakshmana, following Rama's command, entered the city. He encountered the powerful King Shatrudaman and won over his daughter, Jinpadma. King Shatrudaman, along with his army, went to meet Rama and Sita. Seeing the approaching army, they were initially surprised, but upon learning the truth, they were relieved. Lakshmana married Jinpadma.

They met the monks Deshabhushan and Kulbhushan and helped them overcome the affliction caused by the fire-god Agniprabha. The monks attained perfect knowledge. The monks narrated the story of Udit and Mudit, sons of Amritaswar, messengers of King Vijayaparbhat and Queen Dharini of Padmininagari, along with their past lives. They also described the past lives of the monks Deshabhushan and Kulbhushan.
