## The Twenty-Second Chapter
The **Ashoka** tree, with its branches spreading in all directions, stood majestic, as if determined to make the entire world free from sorrow. || 187 ||
The **Chaitya** tree, adorned with fragrant flowers, filled the sky, as if blocking the path of the **Siddhas** and **Vidhyadharas**. || 188 ||
Its leaves were made of **lapis lazuli**, adorned with intricate paintings, and surrounded by clusters of **ruby** flowers. || 189 ||
Its golden branches, reaching high, were supported by a **vajra** base, and the buzzing of bees created a symphony, as if challenging **Kamadeva** (the god of love). || 190 ||
This **Chaitya** tree served as a pillar to bind the elephants of **Suras**, **Asuras**, and **Narendras** (gods, demons, and kings), and its radiance illuminated all directions. || 191 ||
The bells hanging from its branches, resonating with their sound, deafened the entire world, as if proclaiming the victory of the Lord in the **Bhuloka**, **Nagaloka**, and **Svargaloka** (earth, serpent realm, and heaven). || 192 ||
The tree, with its flags and banners, wiped away the clouds from the sky, as if cleansing the sins clinging to the bodies of beings. || 193 ||
It wore three umbrellas adorned with pearl garlands on its head, as if showcasing the glory of the Lord in the three worlds without words. || 194 ||
At the base of this **Chaitya** tree, in each direction, stood four images of **Jina** (the victorious ones), with **Indra** himself performing their abhisheka (consecration). || 195 ||
The gods offered **incense**, **lamps**, **fruits**, and **Akshata** (unbroken rice) to these **Jina** images, performing their worship. || 196 ||
