## The Sixty Chapters
**121.** Even the eternal, luminous heaven, the Dyuloka, appears dark. It is enveloped in darkness from all sides due to the extinction of the lamp of merit.
**12.** Just as there was constant joy in heaven due to the flourishing of merit, so too, there arises constant sorrow when merit diminishes.
**13.** Not only does the garland, born with the being, fade, but even the body of beings becomes weary due to the scorching heat of sin.
**14.** The heart trembles first, then the Kalpa tree trembles at the end. Sri (prosperity) fades first, then the body's radiance fades along with it.
**15.** First, there is a lack of affection among people, then the tongue grows large, and finally, even the clothes become distasteful.
**16.** First, pride is broken, then the desire for objects is lost. The darkness of ignorance first obstructs the mind, then the eyes.
**17.** How much more can be said? The intense sorrow that the gods experience when they are about to fall from heaven is not even experienced by those in hell. You are experiencing that great sorrow now.
**18.** Just as the rising sun is destined to set, so too, the beings who have attained heaven are destined to fall.
**19.** Therefore, O Arya, do not grieve, for grief leads to the cycle of rebirth. Fix your mind on Dharma, for Dharma is the supreme refuge.
**20.** O Arya, no action ever occurs without a cause. Wise people say that merit is the cause of heaven and liberation.
**21.** Therefore, fix your mind on the Jain Dharma, which is the means to achieve merit. Abandon sorrow, for by doing so, you will surely become free from sin.
**22.** Thus, encouraged by the words of the Samanika Devas, Lalitangadeva took refuge in courage, fixed his mind on Dharma, and worshipped the Jina shrines throughout the world for fifteen days.
**23.** After that, worshipping the Jina images in the Achyuta heaven, he attained Samadhi at the end of his life.
