That Lakshmi, whose lotus feet were worshipped by all the gods, went to the abode of the great one. That was his childhood, whose beauty was boundless, and that was the princess who was praised by all. The wise one, considering all this as withered grass, embraced restraint. What reason is there why the Lord Nemishvara should not adorn the wheel of Dharma, revolving around him? || 278 ||

After that, he is experiencing great suffering, born in the first hell, and finally, he will emerge from there and become a Tirthankara, destroying all evil. || 280-281 ||
