**Padma Purana**
**Sub-Chapter**
This person, though experiencing thousands of kinds of suffering through various types of death, is still unconcerned. It seems as if a drunk man, fearless of the waves surging with great speed, is sleeping on the shore of the salt ocean. || 193 || Alas! Alas! I, being engrossed in the kingdom and heavy with sins, will fall into which terrible hell, where there is darkness caused by weapons like arrows, swords, and discs, and trees like Salmali and mountains? Or will I be born in the animal realm, which is full of various species? || 194 || Even after obtaining the Jain Dharma, my mind is still attached to sins and is not attaining dispassion and embracing the monastic Dharma, which is capable of liberating me. || 195 || Thus, constantly engrossed in the thought that is the cause of the destruction of evil deeds, and always immersed in the stories of ancient sages, King Bharata did not look towards the sun or the moon. || 196 ||
Thus ends the thirty-second chapter of the Padma Purana, known as the "Aarsha" (ancient), composed by Acharya Ravishena, which describes the initiation of King Dasharatha, Rama's exile to the forest, and Bharata's coronation. || 32 ||
