## The Thirty-Seventh Chapter
"May Parshvanatha, who is as great as the earth, protect us. He alone has forbidden the holding of a parasol by Dharanendra and Padmavati, who were devoted to him." (1)
"Your Dharma, like a white umbrella, casts a shadow over the entire world. Yet, surprisingly, some are still scorched by the sun of sin." (2)
"The wise hear your divine voice, which transforms into all languages, is truthful, and benefits all. The wicked never hear it." (3)
"O Lord! The greatness of other Tirthankaras is not revealed, but yours is abundantly clear. Therefore, your story deserves to be told well." (4)
"O Lord! Your Dharma-filled story, which removes the wrong path and spreads the right path, must be told for the sake of the blessed souls who are destined for liberation." (5)
"In the Jambudvipa, in the southern Bharata Kshetra, there is a vast and beautiful country called Suramya. In it lies the large city of Podanapura." (6)
"In that city, ruled a king named Aravinda, renowned for his valor and other virtues. His people were as happy under his rule as they would be under the rule of the Lord Adinatha, the first Tirthankara." (7)
"In the same city, lived a Brahmin named Vishvabhuta, well-versed in the Vedas and scriptures. His wife, Anundhari, was like another Veda, bringing him joy." (8)
"These two had two sons, Kamatha and Marubhuta, who were like poison and nectar, or like sin and virtue." (9)
"Varuna was the wife of Kamatha, and Vasundhari was the wife of Marubhuta. Both were ministers of the king, with Marubhuta being the younger and more knowledgeable in matters of policy." (10)
