The 76th chapter. Hail to Shantinath, whose abode is the cause of peace. It is like the peak of Mount Kailash, resembling a cluster of autumn clouds. (1) It is self-luminous, divine, surrounded by a row of palaces, and situated in the middle of Jambudvipa, like Mount Meru. (2) With a mind filled with the means of knowledge, and with firm determination, Ravana entered and performed a most wonderful worship of Shantinath. (3) With abhishekas, musical instruments, very beautiful garlands, incense, offerings of food, and unguents of excellent color, (4) the ten-headed Ravana, with a peaceful mind, performed the worship of Shantinath with great splendor, like a dog eager for a bone. (5) With a crown of hair adorned with a jewel, a radiant crown, wearing white clothes, with thick arms adorned with bracelets, (6) with folded hands, pressing the earth with his knees, he bowed to Shantinath with three-fold prostration. (7) Standing before peace, on the pure earth, with his limbs arranged on a seat, on a carpet of flowers, (8) holding a rosary of crystal beads in his hand, resembling a cluster of blue clouds with rows of lightning, (9) with concentrated meditation, his eyes fixed on the tip of his nose, the king of the Rakshasas began to seek knowledge. (10) Then Mandodari, who had been instructed by the Lord, ordered her minister named Yamadanda, saying, "Let a proclamation be made everywhere, so that people everywhere may be devoted to the rules and regulations, and may be filled with great compassion." (11-12) Let the worship of the Jina be performed, abandoning all other activities, and let wealth be given to those who ask, without envy, as they desire. (13) As long as the yoga is not completed, let the people remain restrained, being devoted to faith. (14)
