## Chapter 32
32. **O Ayushman, be certain that Dharma is the source of Artha, Kama, and Svarga.** Indeed, Dharma is the origin of Artha and Kama.
33. **He who desires Dharma desires all desirable things.** A man who desires Dharma is wealthy and happy, for Dharma is the root of all wealth, prosperity, and happiness.
34. **Dharma is the Kamadhenu cow that grants all desires, Dharma is the great Chintamani gem, Dharma is the eternal Kalpavriksha tree, and Dharma is the indestructible treasure.**
35. **O Shrenik, see the greatness of Dharma!** He who abides in Dharma, with pure intentions, is protected from many calamities. Even the Devas cannot attack him, they stay far away.
36. **O wise one, even through contemplation, kingship, worldly fame, self-realization, and divine knowledge, the immeasurable greatness of Dharma is known.** The contemplation of the infinite powers of substances, royal honor, worldly fame, self-realization, and the powers of Avadhi and Manahparyaya, all these are attained through Dharma. Therefore, by observing all these things, one should know the extraordinary greatness of Dharma.
37. **This Dharma protects the being from the suffering of hell, Nigoda, etc., and leads it to the abode of liberation, filled with eternal happiness.** Therefore, it is called Dharma.
38. **What is the meaning of the Puranas is Dharma.** The sages consider the Puranas to be of five types: Kshetra, Kala, Tirtha, Satpurusha, and their actions.
39. **The creation of the three worlds, the upper, middle, and lower, is called Kshetra.** The expanse of the three times, past, present, and future, is called Kala. The means of attaining liberation, namely Samyagdarshan, Samyagjnana, and Samyakcharitra, are called Tirtha. Those who practice this Tirtha are called Satpurusha, and their righteous conduct, which destroys sins, is called their actions or deeds.
40. **O Shrenik, you have included the entire meaning of the Puranas in your question.**
**O Shrenik, your question, though simple, is profound and filled with all truths, and is a battleground for Kshetra and Kshetrajna (the knower of the field, the soul).**
