He resided in the Jain temple and at that time he was following the conduct of the monks. ||112|| He was attaining peace in the remembrance of the Jina, his mind was becoming steady and it is surprising that due to the loosening of the bonds of his body, his ornaments were falling off. ||113|| Although he had to worry about many things, his concern for Dharma was very strong. It is right because when one thinks about Dharma, all things worthy of thought become thought of automatically. ||114|| All the actions of Bharat, who has attained many riches due to the rise of the great fruit-bearing virtuous deeds, were initiated only after thinking about Dharma. That is, Maharaja Bharat thought about Dharma at the beginning of all his actions. ||115|| When he opened his eyes in the morning and saw all the directions red with the morning glow, he thought that these directions were red only because of the redness of the lotus feet of the Jina. ||116|| Seeing the sun rising in the morning, having destroyed the dense darkness of the night, he got up thinking that it was the reflection of the Lord's Kevala Jnana. ||117|| In the morning, when the wind blew and the lotus flowers bloomed, he considered them in his heart to be as cool as the group of divine sounds of the Jina. ||118|| He was very religious, his concern for work and wealth was secondary, and his main purpose was in Dharma, which brings about all kinds of welfare. ||119|| He would get up in the morning and first think about Dharma with the righteous men, and then with his ministers he would consider wealth and the fulfillment of desires. ||120|| As soon as he got up from his bed, he would worship the gods and the gurus, and then, wearing auspicious attire, he would sit on the Dharma-asana. ||121|| There, he would spend a moment thinking about the good and bad conduct of the people, and then he would appoint the officials to their respective duties, that is, he would give them orders to do their work. ||122|| After that, he would go to the middle of the assembly hall and sit on the royal throne, and he would honor the kings who were seeking an opportunity to serve. ||123|| He would greet some kings with a look, some with a smile, and some he would please with gifts. ||124||
