## Forty-fourth Chapter
123. Seeing a young bull roaring loudly and roaming around indicates that people will attain the state of a monk only in their youth, not in other stages of life. ||75||
Seeing the moon surrounded by a halo indicates that the monks of the fifth age will not possess the knowledge of Avadhi and Manahparyaya. ||76||
Seeing two bulls moving together indicates that the monks of the fifth age will live together, not in solitary retreat. ||77||
Seeing the sun obscured by clouds indicates that the sun of Kevala Jnana will rarely rise in the fifth age. ||78||
Seeing a dry tree indicates that the character of men and women will become corrupt, and seeing withered leaves indicates that the essence of great medicines will be lost. ||79||
Consider these dreams as far-reaching, bearing fruit in the distant future. Therefore, there is no harm from them now, their effects will be felt in the fifth age. ||80||
O son, knowing the true fruits of these dreams from me, strengthen your mind in Dharma for the pacification of all obstacles. ||81||
Hearing the words of his Guru, Bharat, the protector of the four varnas and four ashramas, purified his mind, removing the mud of doubt. ||82||
He bowed repeatedly to the Lord and asked again and again. Pleased by the Guru's grace, he returned with great difficulty. ||83||
Then, entering Ayodhya, a city adorned with toranas and filled with rows of flags, where the people were joyfully welcoming him, he performed acts of peace to pacify the ill effects of the bad dreams. These acts included the consecration of the Jina, giving gifts to worthy recipients, and other virtuous deeds. ||84-85||
He irrigated the earth with the milk of cows, worshipped the great sages, gave great gifts, and pleased his loved ones. ||86||
Then, he had bells made, adorned with images of the Jinas, crafted from precious stones and tied with golden ropes. ||87||
