Hearing the sixteen chapters, the compassionate Lord, moved by pity, thought to himself: "Thus the Supreme Being, the first Purusha, has bestowed upon them." ||142|| The state of existence that prevailed in the eastern and western Videha regions should be established here as well. Only then will these people survive. ||143|| Just as there were six karmas like Asi and Mashee, just as there were different classes like Kshatriya, and just as there were different arrangements for villages, houses, etc., so should it be here as well. Only through these means can the livelihood of the beings be sustained. There is no other way for their livelihood. ||144-145|| Now that the Kalpa trees have perished, this Karmabhoomi has appeared. Therefore, it is appropriate for the people to earn their livelihood here through the six karmas like Asi, Mashee, etc. ||146|| Thus, Lord Rishabhadeva, having thought for a moment about the means of livelihood for the welfare of the people, repeatedly reassured them, saying, "Do not be afraid." ||147|| Then, merely by remembering the Lord, Indra, along with the other gods, arrived and, following the instructions below, made arrangements for the livelihood of the people. ||148|| On an auspicious day, under an auspicious constellation, at an auspicious time and auspicious moment, when the Sun and other planets were in their respective exalted positions, and with the blessings of the Jagadguru, Indra first performed auspicious rites and then established a Jina temple in the middle of Ayodhya city. After that, he established Jina temples in all four directions, east, south, west, and north, in a systematic manner. ||149-150|| After that, he created the great countries like Kosala, etc., the cities like Ayodhya, etc., the forests, the villages with their boundaries, and the fields, etc. ||151|| Sukosala, Avanti, Pund, Undu, Ashmak, Ramyak, Kuru, Kashi, Kalinga, Anga, Vanga, Suha, Samudrak, Kashmir, Ushinar, Anart, Vatsa, Panchal, Malava, Dasharna, Kachchha, Magadha, Vidarbha, Kurujangala, Karahat, Maharashtra, Surastra, Abhira, Konkan, Vanavasa, Andhra, Karnata, Kosala, Chola, Kerala,
