## The Astashashta Parva (Chapter 325)
They adorned the two with crowns and jeweled ornaments, and with great blessings, they worshipped them with eagerness. || 665 ||
Prithvisundari, the chief among them, was as beautiful as Keshava's beloved. There were sixteen thousand queens, all as glorious as Lakshmi. || 666 ||
There were eight thousand queens, starting with Sita, who were as dear to Rama as his life. Sixteen thousand countries and sixteen thousand kings were under their sway. || 667 ||
There were nine thousand eight hundred and fifty Dronamukhas, twenty-five thousand Pattanas, twelve thousand Karvatas that granted wishes, twelve thousand Matambas, eight thousand Khetkas, forty-eight crore villages that yielded great fruits, twenty-eight islands within the ocean, forty-five lakh large elephants, the same number of excellent chariots, nine crore horses, forty-five crore foot soldiers who were valiant in battle, and eight thousand gods known as Ganabaddha. || 668-672 ||
Ramachandra had four great treasures: the Halaayudha named Aparajita, the sharp arrow named Amogha, the mace named Kaumudi, and the necklace named Ratnavatsika. Each of these treasures was guarded by a thousand Yaksha deities. || 673-674 ||
Similarly, Lakshmana had seven treasures: the discus named Sudarshana, the mace named Kaumudi, the sword named Saunandaka, the invincible Shakti, the bow named Shanga, the five-mouthed conch named Panchajanya that made a great sound, and the great jewel named Kaustubha, which shone with its own brilliance. Each of these treasures was guarded by a thousand Yaksha deities. || 675-677 ||
Thus, the time of these two fortunate brothers, who were immersed in the ocean of happiness, passed by with their enjoyment and wealth. || 678 ||
One day, the Jina, known as Shivaguapta, arrived at the beautiful garden called Manohara. Rama and Lakshmana, filled with faith and wisdom, approached him with great humility and worshipped him. || 679 ||
Being close to self-realization, Rama and Lakshmana, with their unwavering faith, asked the Jina about Dharma. || 680 ||
