## Forty-fourth Chapter
**243**
Those who do not worship the words of the Jinas, remaining aloof from the company of the *bhavapramavadika* (those who are attached to worldly affairs), are devoid of refuge and subdued by their senses. The unbearable sun of their past karma constantly burns them. ||151||
Thus ends the forty-fourth chapter of the *Padmacarita*, narrated by Ravishena Acharya, renowned by its *Arsha* name, and describing the abduction of Sita and the lament of Rama. ||44||
