## The Thirtieth Chapter
The king, victorious over the eastern kings, the kings of the southern land, and the kings of the western sea, bowing to all kings like the guardians of the directions, and causing even the gods to tremble, made the circle of directions free from enemies. He, the lord of the earth, made the circle of directions victorious, the circle of directions made by his own hands. ||128||
From punya (merit), one obtains the victorious Lakshmi of the Chakravarti, the divine Lakshmi of Indra, the Lakshmi of pilgrimage, and the supreme Lakshmi of liberation. Thus, by punya, one becomes worthy of all four types of Lakshmi. Therefore, O wise ones, acquire punya according to the sacred teachings of the Jina. ||129||
Thus ends the thirtieth chapter of the *Trishatilakṣaṇamahāpurāṇa* composed by the venerable Jinaseṇācārya, which describes the conquest of the western sea gate.
