## The Thirty-Third Chapter
**113** The one whose mind is always filled with the **Jain** teachings, and who is devoid of good intentions, is a thorn in my prosperity. **17**
**114** Skilled in breaking families, encouraged by **Shramanas** with deceitful actions, you have reached this state, devoid of any principles. **17**
**115** You enjoy the land given by me and yet you bow to the **Arhat**. Oh, what a great deception you have, you with a wicked heart! **172**
**116** You are wise, so come to me quickly and offer your respects. Otherwise, see, you are going to meet death. **173**
**117** Then, after hearing these words, the messenger went back and told **Singhodara** this: "O Lord! **Vajreshruti** says with certainty: 'O **Vibho**, take the city, the army, the treasury, and the land, but give me the door to **Dharma**, that is, do not hinder my devotion to **Dharma**." **174-175**
**118** "I have made a vow that I will not bow to anyone other than the **Arhat** and the **Nirgrantha Guru**. I will not break this vow even in death. You are the master of my wealth, but not of my body." **176**
**119** Even after hearing this, **Singhodara** did not give up his anger. He besieged the city and set it ablaze, thus making the land desolate. **177**
**120** "I have told you the reason for the desolation of this land. Now I am going to my own desolate village nearby." **178**
**121** "In that village, there were beautiful mansions, like flying machines, which were burnt down. Along with them, my humble hut, made of straw and wood, was also burnt." **179**
**122** "I have hidden a pot, a pitcher, and a bowl in that hut. I am going to retrieve them, driven by the woman who speaks wicked words." **180**
**123** "There are many household items to be found in deserted villages. You should also bring them," she keeps telling me. **181**
**124** "Or perhaps she has done me a great favor. O Lord! By virtue of my good deeds, I have been able to see you." **182**
**125** Seeing the traveler in distress, **Rama** was filled with compassion and gave him his own jeweled golden thread. **183**
**126** The traveler, bowing down, took the thread and, with a cheerful heart, returned to his own abode, becoming like a king. **184**
