But what have you done today? ||117|| Knowing my wealth, I gave you this village." ||117|| Having said this, the king, the lord of the land, went to the village in the afternoon. ||118|| He was eager to beg for alms, his bowl filled with the leaves of the Karaka tree. ||118|| He wanted to fill his bowl with the alms of the Jain community, following the path of the pond. ||119|| He who goes out from there, will meet a single Muni. ||119|| He who has spent a month in fasting, with a body full of wealth and a mind free from suffering, ||120|| enters the village on the day of the Parana. ||120|| The king, the lord of the land, thought, "This is the marriage of my son. ||121|| This is like a Kalpa tree, which is seen in the forest." ||121|| Thinking this, he spoke with a heart full of devotion, his body trembling with joy. ||122|| "Please have mercy on me, O Muni, among the Jain community!" ||122|| The Muni, having received the fourfold purity of wealth, said, "This is not the time for alms." ||123|| The prince, who was standing nearby, was pleased and said, "Alms are for the sake of the people, for the sake of the Parana." ||124|| Having said this, the Muni, the lord of the gods, said, "O Great One, it is better for you to give alms to the needy. ||125|| Give alms to the Jain community, to Devadatta, to the thousand teeth, and to the kingdom." ||125|| As the prince spoke, the lord of the gods said, "The fruit of the Muni's alms will soon be yours." ||126|| After the remaining alms were given, the prince went to the palace. ||127|| The Muni, the lord of the gods, went to the city of Vinnayada. ||127|| He arrived in the city of Vinnayada, having traveled by the path of the righteous. ||128|| He slept in the house of the teacher and saw a dream in the middle of the night. ||128|| He saw a beautiful, radiant, and luminous image of a woman, entering the house. ||129|| He woke up and told the dream to the others. ||130|| They said, "You will get a sweet, delicious, and beautiful garland." ||130|| On the next day, while he was sitting in his house, ||131|| he received a sweet garland from the alms of the pure ones. ||131|| The prince, thinking that the Muni was the cause of his happiness, ||132|| told the story of the dream to the people of the city, who were eager to hear it. ||132|| In the morning, when the sun rose, the prince filled a basket with flowers. ||133|| He went to the Muni, who was sitting in his house, with great
