Mahapuraanam
O Kalyanaanga, since you are undoubtedly presided over by the Devatas, these dreams of yours are not false. Understand their fruit from me. ||62||
You saw in a dream twenty-three lion kings roaming alone, having conquered their enemies, and dwelling on the peak of the earth. ||63||
The fruit of that is this: understand clearly that, except for the Tirthankara Mahavira, there will be no birth of wicked nayas during the time of the remaining twenty-three Tirthankaras. ||64||
Again, from seeing in a dream a group of deer following a single lion cub, it is revealed that in the Tirtha of Mahavira, many Kuligis will become attached to possessions. ||65||
From seeing a horse whose back is bent under the weight of a large elephant, it is known that the Sadhus of the fifth age will not be able to bear all the qualities of penance. ||66||
Some will be lazy in keeping their vows of the root and the secondary qualities, some will break them from the root, and some will become dull or indifferent. ||67||
From seeing a herd of goats eating dry leaves, it is known that in the future, men will become wicked, abandoning good conduct. ||68||
From seeing monkeys climbing on the shoulders of a Gajendra, it is known that in the future, the ancient Kshatriya lineage will be destroyed, and those of low birth will rule the earth. ||69||
From seeing crows harassing an owl, it is revealed that, desiring Dharma, men will leave the Jain Munis and go to the company of Sadhus of other faiths. ||70||
From seeing many ghosts dancing, it is known that people will worship the Vyantaras as Devas, due to causes like name-karma. ||71||
From seeing a pond whose middle is dry, but whose edges are full of water, it is revealed that Dharma will leave the Arya-khanda and remain only in the Mlechchha-khandas. ||72||
From seeing a heap of jewels soiled with dust, it is known that in the fifth age, there will be no excellent Munis with Riddhi. ||73||
From seeing a chariot being honored with respect, and from seeing a worthy vessel being honored, the twice-born will receive honor for honoring worthy vessels. ||74||
The dreams that are born from the body are false, and the dreams that are born from the Devas are true. ||61||
