## Chapter One:

**31**

- The degeneration of form, short lifespan, death within a few moments, poverty, and birth in a poor family. Even though all this happens to those who are "avrathika" (without vows), even those who are "anuvrata" (with minor vows), what happens to them in the next life? The text says: "They become full of vigor, radiance, knowledge, strength, fame, prosperity, victory, and wealth. They are born in great families, with great goals, and become the leaders of humanity, purified by the right vision." **36**

"Purified by the right vision" means "purified by the right vision, those who have a pure and holy vision." "Leaders of humanity" means "the leaders of humans, the best among humans."

The text further describes their qualities: "Vigor" refers to enthusiasm, "radiance" refers to brilliance or glow, "knowledge" refers to innate and unlearnable wisdom, "strength" refers to exceptional power, "fame" refers to exceptional reputation, "prosperity" refers to wealth in terms of family, children, and grandchildren, "victory" refers to the excellence of one's qualities over others, "wealth" refers to wealth in terms of money, grain, and other possessions. They are "accompanied by wealth" meaning they have all these qualities.

Similarly, "great families" means "they are born in great families," and "great goals" means "they have great goals in life, characterized by dharma, artha, kama, and moksha." **36**

The text further states that they attain the position of Indra (king of gods) through the purity of their right vision: "Those who are nourished by the eight qualities, have a distinct vision, and are adorned with exceptional beauty, enjoy the company of celestial nymphs in heaven for a long time, being devotees of the Jinas." **37**

"In the assembly of gods and goddesses," "for a long time" means "for a very long time," and "enjoy" means "play and have fun."

What are their qualities? "Nourished by the eight qualities" refers to the eight qualities of anima (becoming small), mahima (becoming large), laghima (becoming light), prapti (attaining anything), prakamya (going anywhere), ishitva (being the lord), vashitva (controlling others), and kamaropa (assuming any form). They are "nourished" meaning their body parts are always well-nourished, or they are "nourished" meaning they are complete and always joyful.

Similarly, "adorned with exceptional beauty" means "they have exceptional beauty compared to other gods," and "adorned" means "served by them, served by them, they are Indras." **37**

The text further states that they also attain the position of Chakravarti (universal emperor):
