## The Sixtieth Chapter
The one who destroys infinite vices and is the mine of infinite virtues, the Jina, who destroys the lineage of internal darkness and transcends all limits, is our refuge. ||1||
In the eastern part of the Dhaataki-khand island, in the northern region of Mount Meru, there is a beautiful city called Arisht, which seems to be the abode of all wealth. ||2||
The king of that city was Padmaratha, who was himself the abode of Padma-Lakshmi due to his virtues. He ruled the earth for a long time, bringing great joy to his people. ||3||
The auspicious rise of the king, with its beautiful and comfortable resources, brought happiness to the beings. His auspicious rise was abundant and free from obstacles. ||4||
Therefore, he was satisfied like Indra, experiencing the pleasures of the world, born from the proximity of the objects of the senses. ||5||
One day, he went to the presence of the Self-Luminous Jina. There, he praised him with humility and listened to the pure teachings of Dharma. ||6||
He then began to contemplate: "The union of beings with their bodies and of the senses with their objects is impermanent, because in this world, the soul and body of all beings, and the senses and their objects, are constantly subject to the absence of one or the other." ||7||
"Even if the followers of other religions are deluded, I have taken refuge in the lotus feet of the Arhant, who destroys the power of the enemy of delusion. How can I make my mind steady in these matters? How can I consider these things as permanent?" Thus, his mind, breaking free from the great knot of delusion, began to strive. ||8-9||
Then, like a deer terrified by the flames of a forest fire, he decided to abandon his long-held abode, the world. ||10||
He entrusted the kingdom to his son, Ghana-ratha, and embraced the path of restraint. He became a Tīrthankara, crossing the ocean of eleven Angas. ||11||
Finally, he embraced Sallekhana, relinquished his body, and attained the position of Indra in the Pushpottara Vimana of the Achyuta heaven. ||12||
His lifespan was twenty-two Sagaras, his body was three and a half hands tall, he had a white complexion, and he lived for eleven months. ||13||
May the Jina, who destroys infinite vices and is the mine of infinite virtues, reside in our hearts and destroy the lineage of internal darkness. ||Sha ||
