## The Twenty-Fourth Chapter
The Lord Vrishabha, who eradicated poison-like delusion from the world, like the knowledge of the Patavidya, may He always be victorious! ||1||
The great king-sage Bharat, learned of three events simultaneously: the attainment of Kevala Jnana by his revered father, the birth of a son in the inner palace, and the manifestation of the Chakra-ratna in the armory. ||2||
The king inquired about the attainment of Kevala Jnana from the Dharma-adhikari, the news of the Chakra-ratna from the guardian of the armory, and the birth of his son from the Kanchuki. ||3||
The king was momentarily perplexed, wondering which of these events should be celebrated first, as they all occurred at the same time. ||4||
The manifestation of the Punyateertha (Kevala Jnana), the birth of a son, and the Chakra-ratna are the fruits of Dharma, Artha, and Kama, respectively, which I have received simultaneously. ||5||
The attainment of Kevala Jnana is the fruit of Dharma, the birth of a son is the fruit of Kama, and the manifestation of the radiant Chakra is the fruit of Artha, which leads to wealth. ||6||
Or, perhaps, all these are the complete fruits of Dharma, for Artha is the fruit of the Dharma-tree, and Kama is its essence. ||7||
Among all actions, Dharma should be performed first, as it leads to welfare and bears great fruits. Therefore, the worship of the Jina should be performed first. ||8||
Thus, the king of kings, Bharat, decided to perform the worship of the Lord first. Indeed, the actions of the righteous are always conducive to merit. ||9||
Then, the king Bharat, along with his younger brother, the women of the inner palace, and the citizens, prepared for the journey to the place of worship. ||10||
