## Seventh Chapter
163
**280.** "Happiness comes from you, Lakshmi herself seeks you. Devotion to you grants worldly pleasures to people and liberation, which is the greatest."
**281.** "The worthy ones, with pure mind, speech, and body, praise you. You are clearly like a wish-fulfilling tree for those who seek your grace."
**282.** "You shower the world with the rain of Dharma, quenching the thirst of the beings parched by the heat of evil deeds, like a fresh cloud."
**283.** "Those who seek their own good follow the path shown by you, just as people follow the path illuminated by the sun."
**284.** "You have shown the seed for the destruction of the cycle of birth and death, from which the success of all beings in this world and the next is achieved."
**285.** "You have abandoned Lakshmi, the wealth of all wealth, and the kingdom with its royal splendor, and embraced liberation, a wonder indeed!"
**286.** "You are adorned with the vine of compassion, a great ocean of generosity, a wish-fulfilling tree, granting the desires of those who seek you."
**287.** "You hold the wheel of Dharma, adorned with the fire of austerity, in your hand, without fear, desiring to destroy the great enemies of karma."
**288.** "You have not furrowed your brow, nor bitten your lips, nor marred the beauty of your face, nor abandoned your place, while conquering the enemies of karma."
**289.** "Even with compassion, you have wielded the axe of austerity, desiring to conquer the enemy of delusion."
**290.** "The vine of worldly existence, nurtured by the waters of ignorance, bearing the fruits of various sorrows, does not grow even when nurtured by you."
**279.** "I cannot praise you myself, O Ganadhara Deva, yet I begin your praise out of devotion, for devotion alone brings good."
