## Dashami Dasha
**With Hindi Commentary**
On the tenth day, adorned with fragrant flowers, dangling earrings, and colorful garlands, her body anointed with the finest sandalwood, her limbs embellished with exquisite ornaments, perfumed with incense like guggul, dressed like the goddess Lakshmi, surrounded by numerous maidservants from the Kubja and Kirata lands, and other attendants of the inner palace, Queen Chellanādevi arrived at the outer reception hall where King Shrenika was waiting. King Shrenika then ascended the royal chariot, adorned with a canopy of Korint flowers. The details of this event can be found in the **Aupapātika Sūtra**. The king devoted himself to serving the Lord. Similarly, Queen Chellanādevi, surrounded by all the inner palace attendants, went to where the Jina, Lord Mahāvīra, was, and praised him, offered him salutations, and then, standing behind King Shrenika, devoted herself to the Lord's service.
**Commentary:** This sūtra describes how Queen Chellanādevi, upon hearing news of the Lord's arrival, went to the bathhouse, bathed, and adorned herself with clothes and ornaments. Then, accompanied by King Shrenika, she boarded the royal chariot and went to serve the Jina, Lord Mahāvīra. A detailed account of this event can be found in the **Aupapātika Sūtra**. The only difference is that the story there is attributed to King Konika, while here it is attributed to King Shrenika. The essence of the entire sūtra is that King Shrenika, with great ceremony, went to serve the Lord, and the queen, surrounded by maidservants from seventeen countries and elderly men, also went to see the Lord. Both of them then devoted themselves to his service.
