The thirty-ninth chapter, entitled "Dasaratha's Renunciation and the Arrival of the All-Being Benefactor," from the Padmacharita, narrated by the Acharya Ravishena, is as follows:
The king listened to the story related to the principles, the biographies of past and future great souls, the world, substances, epochs, the state of the Kulakaras, various lineages, all beings and other objects, and the Puranas with great reverence. After listening, he bowed to the Lord of the Sangha, the All-Being Benefactor, and entered the city.
Then, giving space to the ministers and kings for a moment, that is, conversing with them, the king, filled with wonder after hearing the story of the qualities of the Jina kings, entered the inner palace. There, the king, adorned with great splendor and the glory of the Lord of beings, performed the rituals of bathing, etc., with great joy.
Then, he stayed in the inner palace, delighting in the company of those women who were endowed with excellent radiance, who possessed faces as beautiful as the moon, who were adorned with captivating glances that captivated both eyes and hearts, who were like Lakshmi, and who were imbued with utmost humility, the lotus-like women, like the sun.
Thus ends the thirty-ninth chapter of the Padmacharita, narrated by the Acharya Ravishena, renowned by the name of Arsha, which describes the renunciation of King Dasaratha and the arrival of the All-Being Benefactor.
