## First Chapter.
Those who take refuge in the **darshan** (right vision), which is the protection from the dangers of the cycle of birth and death, experience **shiva** (liberation). How? Because they are **ajar** (free from disease), **akshaya** (free from decay), **avyaabadha** (free from obstacles), **vishok-bhaya-shanka** (free from sorrow, fear, and doubt), and **kasthagata-sukha-vidya-vibhavam** (possessing the power of supreme happiness and knowledge), and **vimala** (pure).
The previous verses have described the fruits of **samyak darshan** (right vision). Now, summarizing the essence of the right vision, the author says:
The **deva-indra-chakra** (assembly of celestial kings) is immeasurable in its glory, and the **raja-indra-chakra** (assembly of earthly kings) is worthy of being worshipped by the heads of the kings of the earth. The **dharma-indra-chakra** (assembly of righteous kings) has conquered all the worlds. Having obtained **shiva** (liberation), the **bhavya** (worthy soul) who has devotion to the **jina** (liberated soul) attains it.
Who is this **bhavya**? It is the one who has **jina-bhakti** (devotion to the jina). What does he do? He obtains the **deva-indra-chakra** (assembly of celestial kings). What is its characteristic? It is **ameya-mana** (immeasurable in its glory). Similarly, he obtains the **raja-indra-chakra** (assembly of earthly kings). What is its characteristic? It is **avani-indra-shiro-rchaniya** (worthy of being worshipped by the heads of the kings of the earth).
