The Thirty-Fifth Chapter
139. Just as a thirsty man finds water, a man seeking shelter finds shade, a hungry man finds delicious food, a sick man finds good medicine, a man lost on a bad path finds the way to his desired destination, and a man drowning in the sea finds a boat, in the same way, I have obtained this Jain Dharma, which destroys all suffering, by your grace. This Jain Dharma is extremely rare for low-born men. 87-89. Since you have shown me this path, which is taught by the Jinas, there is no one in the three worlds who is as beneficial to me as you. 90. Saying this, the twice-born man bowed his head at the feet of the Muni with folded hands, circumambulated him, and went home. 91. Then, with eyes like blooming lotuses and filled with great joy, he said to his wife, "My dear, I have heard something extraordinary from the Guru today." 92. "Such an extraordinary thing that neither your father, nor your grandfather, nor anyone in your lineage has heard it, even after much telling." 93. "O Brahmani, the wonderful thing I saw in the forest, which I was amazed by, is no longer a cause for wonder after the Guru's teachings." 94. The Brahmani said, "O Brahman, tell me what you saw and what you heard." The Brahman said, "My dear, I am unable to speak due to joy." 95. Then, filled with curiosity, the Brahmani asked again and again with respect. The twice-born man said, "O Arya, listen to the wonder I heard." 96. "I went to the forest to gather firewood, and near it, where there was a dense forest, I saw a beautiful city." 97. "Near that city, I saw a woman adorned with ornaments. It seems she must be some goddess who speaks charmingly." 98. "I asked her, and she said that this is the city of Rampura, where King Ramachandra gives a large forest to the Shravakas." 99.
