## Padma Purana
**Chanda:** (?)
Even the wise, due to the extraordinary nature of karma, fall into delusion. Otherwise, who, having heard all about their own future, would not act for their own benefit, being conscious? ||54||
Thus, O Gods! What more can be said about beings? It is certain that one should strive with a pure heart to destroy the enemy, the world. ||55||
**Malini Chanda:**
Thus, having attained the path of the gods, the path of truth, and being completely purified by the association of the qualities of the Jina, the beautiful path shown by Indra, became pleasing. The sun, moon, and Kalpavasis, having attained pure minds, achieved freedom from the fear of the world, desiring to attain the human state. ||56||
Thus ends the 114th chapter of the Padma Purana, known as the "Shankatha of the Gods," composed by Acharya Ravishena, which narrates the story of Indra and the gods. ||114||
