## The Twenty-Fifth Chapter
**631** The Meru-peak, towering high, with a lion's expanse, is the leader. The Ashoka tree, with its shade and fruits, has manifested its activity. **236** The earth's circumference is surrounded by a dust-wall, and the false-views, with their pride and doubts, are suppressed by the pillars of faith. **237** The assembly ground, adorned with an unprecedented splendor, is made beautiful by the clear water of the moat, surrounded by groves of creepers. **238** The great majesty is revealed by the three walls, adorned with the lofty towers, and the creations of the enemies. **239** The assembly ground is filled with the shade of the Ashoka and other trees, and the whole world is summoned by the waving of garlands, clothes, and flags. **240** The gods, who have rested in the shade of the Kalpa-tree forest, always worship him. The Kinnaras, situated on the earth, surrounded by palaces, sing his praises. **241** The splendor of the Stupas, which are radiant and possess great glory, is manifested. The festival of the people is enhanced by the two theaters, which are full of wealth. **242** He is the lord of the great fragrant chamber, which fills the ten directions with the fragrance of incense. He is worthy of the great worship offered by the Indras. **243** He is the beloved of the three worlds, the glorious, the first Purusha, the Bhagavan. He, the lord of the Dharma-chakra, has undertaken the endeavor of victory. **244** Then, when the time for the Bhagavan's activity arrived, millions of gods, with their crowns shaking, began to move about. **245** At that time, the jewels, shaken from the crowns of the frightened Indras, seemed to be performing the Arati of the world. **246** The gods, shouting "Victory!" filled the sky-like courtyard, and, illuminating the faces of the directions with their brilliance, they set out. **247** The leaders of the gods, along with the four Nikayas, were agitated by the great wind of the Jina's activity, and they seemed like four great oceans. **248** Thus, accompanied by the gods and Asuras, the Bhagavan, like the sun, set out on his journey, his actions being free from desire. **249**
