## Chapter Thirty-Three

If mere remembrance of your feet purifies a person, then how much more so will the praise of your qualities, offered with devotion, purify him? (195)
O Lord, whatever merit I have earned by praising your qualities, I desire that it may always be dedicated to your lotus feet. (196)

Then, the emperor Bharat, the lord of treasures, whose head was adorned with a crown that touched the feet of the Lord, inquired from his father, the first teacher, and bowed down with his head to the other monks present there. He was eager to return to his abode, Ayodhya. (199)
The emperor Bharat, with a mind filled with joy, and seeing his beautiful garland, which was offered with devotion to the feet of the Jina, as a symbol of the remaining Akshatas, with great difficulty, removed his gaze from the assembly hall of the Jina and departed. (200)
