[Eighth Section]
[143] This is the Ratnavali. Just as ornaments enhance the beauty of the body, the Ratnavali tapa adorns the soul with virtues. The Ratnavali tapa lasts for five years, two months, and twenty-eight days.
The mechanism of this tapa is given on the previous page.
3. After that, on the fourth day of the Parivadi, one should perform the Tapa, and after performing it, one should perform the Vigayavajan Parana. On the sixth day, one should perform the Tapa, and after performing it, one should perform the Vigayavajan Parana. Similarly, as in the Parivadi, so also in the Biya, and in the Navaran-Savvaparana, one should perform the Vigayavajan Parana. (Thus, in this Ratnavali, the Biya Parivadi of the Tapa Karma lasts for one year, three months, and twenty-two days, until it is completed.)
After that, on the fourth day of the Taccha Parivadi, one should perform the Tapa, and after performing it, one should perform the Alevadi Parana. The rest is the same. One should perform the Alevadi Parana for the Navaran.
Thus, the fourth Parivadi. For the Navaran-Savvaparana, one should perform the Ayambila Parana. The rest is the same.
**Gatha**
_In the first, all virtues, in the second, Vigayavajan Parana. In the third, Alevadi, and in the fourth, Ayambila Parana._
Therefore, that Kali Arya performed the Ratnavali Tapa Karma for five years, two months, and twenty-eight days, until the Ajachandana became Ajja. Having become Ajja, she worshipped and bowed to the Ajachandana. After worshipping and bowing, she lived, considering herself to be in many fourth, sixth, tenth, and twelfth Tapa Karmas.
In this one practice, there are three hundred and eighty-four days of Tapa and eighty-eight days of Parana. Thus, there are a total of four hundred and seventy-two days. After that, in the second practice, Kali Arya fasted and performed a Vigayavajan Parana, performed the Bela, and performed a Vigayavajan Parana. Thus, this is also the same as the first practice. The only difference is that the Parana is Vigayavajan. Thus, according to the Sutra, this second practice is performed.
After that, in the third practice, that Kali Arya fasted and performed a Leparajan Parana. The rest is the same as before.
Similarly, Kali Arya performed the fourth practice. The special feature of this is that all the Paranas are performed with Ayambila. The rest is the same.
**Gatha Meaning**
_In the first practice, all virtues, in the second, Vigayavajan Parana. In the third, Leparajan, and in the fourth, Ayambila Parana._
In this way, Kali Arya performed the Ratnavali Tapa for five years, two months, and twenty-eight days, according to the Sutra.
