## The 37th Chapter
**O Lord!** I am apprehensive about explaining the truth, as long as the complete certainty of the subject to be explained is not apparent.
**103.** A wise person should perform actions that bring happiness in this world and the next, and not those that are the cause of the sprouting of the seed of suffering and the source of blame.
**104.** O Ravana, blinded by sin! If there is a person in the three worlds who has attained satisfaction from enjoying pleasures for a long time, then praise him.
**105.** Even if you cannot become a monk after enjoying all pleasures, at least be devoted to the duties of a householder and destroy suffering.
**106.** O Lord! Your body is radiant with the sword of **Anuvrata**, adorned with the umbrella of **Niyama**, clad in the armor of **Samyak Darshan**, and marked by the flag of **Sheel**. Your body is fragrant with the sandalwood of **Bhavana**, your bow is **Samyak Gyan**, you are strong with the power of **Vashendriya**, and you are powerful with the might of **Shubh Dhyan**. You are equipped with the bridle of **Maryada**, riding on the elephant of **Nischya**, and your great power is **Jin Bhakti**. Conquer the army of **Durgati**. Indeed, this army of **Durgati** is very crooked, sinful, and extremely difficult to bear. By conquering it, you will become happy.
**107-110.** Wander through Jambudvipa, worshipping the natural **Jinalayas** on the mountains like Himavat and Mandara, along with me.
**111.** Play in the groves of Mandaragiri and on the banks of the Ganga, adorned with the leaves of the hands of eighteen thousand women.
**112.** O Beautiful! The **Vidhyadhar** couples roam freely in their desired, beautiful places, enjoying themselves.
**113.** O Learned! O Glorious! There is no purpose in fighting. Be pleased and accept my words, which will bring happiness in every way.
**114.** Abandon this slander, which is like poison, blameworthy, and the cause of ultimate misfortune. Why are you drowning in the ocean of disgrace?
**115.** Thus, Mandoadari, with folded hands, fell at the feet of Ravana, seeking his ultimate welfare.
