## The Sixty-Second Festival
**157** Then, the Vidya-adhipati, the king of Rathnupura, having attained Siddhi, commanded the Mahajvala Vidya, which Asanighosha was unable to withstand. **28** The battle lasted for half a month, and the victorious Jineshvara, fleeing in fear, entered the Samavasarana near the mountain called Nabheya-sima, close to the Gajadhwaja. **281** Seeing this, the king of birds, along with his followers, became enraged and pursued him. Upon seeing the Manastambha, their minds calmed down. **282** They circumambulated the Jina thrice, prostrated before the Lord of the Universe, and, spitting out the poison of their enmity, sat together there. **283** Then, the Asuri Devi, Sati, who was virtuous by nature, brought her daughter, Sutara, who was like a withered creeper, and, addressing Srivijaya and Amitateja, said, "May you both forgive the offense of my son." **284-285** Even if there is inherent enmity in the lower species, it is destroyed by the association of the Jinas. What then can be said of humans? **286** If the karmas, bound since beginningless time, are released by the remembrance of the Jinas, then there is no wonder in the release of enmity in their presence. **287** Even Yama, who is difficult to overcome, is easily restrained by the mere remembrance of the Jinas. What other enemy can be restrained, who is not restrained by this? **288** Therefore, wise people should remember the Jina, the Lord of the three worlds, for the sake of overcoming Yama. He is the one who brings benefit in this world and the next. **289**
Then, the lord of the Vidya-dharas, Amitateja, with folded hands, prostrated before the Jina with great devotion and, with a desire to know the truth, asked about the nature of the right path. **290** Who can cross the terrible ocean of the world, filled with the waves of countless sorrows and teeming with crocodiles of passions? This can only be asked of the Jina, for he alone has crossed the ocean of the world. O Lord, you alone are the friend of the world. Therefore, teach us, your disciples, the nature of the right path. **291-292** By your great voice, like a large boat, those who possess the three jewels as their great wealth, will reach their destination, the shore of the ocean of births, and attain the means of happiness. **293**
