॥ ४२ ॥ ' तुम इस कन्याको ग्रहण करो' ऐसा कहकर तो मैंने जयकुमार के लिए दी नहीं थी, तथापि देवता जो कुपित हो जाते हैं उसमें देवताका नहीं किन्तु आराधना करनेवाले ही का दोष समझा जाता है || ४३ || ये सब वंश मेरे ही बनाये हुए हैं, मेरे ही बढ़ाये हुए हैं, मेरे ही भाई हैं और मुझसे ही सदा स्नेह रखते हैं इसलिए इनका निग्रह कैसे करूँ ऐसा आप मत मानिए क्योंकि यदि आपका पुत्र भी दोषी हो तो उसे भी आप दण्ड देते हैं, इस न्यायका प्रारम्भ आपसे ही हुआ है । इसलिए हे प्रभो, आज्ञा दीजिए कि इस अपराधके लिए हम लोगोंको तीनों प्रकारके दण्डों में से कौन-सा दण्ड मिलने योग्य है ? क्या फाँसो ? क्या शरीरका क्लेश अथवा क्या धन हरण कर लेना ? || ४४-४६ ।। हे देव, आपकी आज्ञा पालन करनेसे ही हम लोग इस लोक तथा परलोक में अत्यन्त धन्य हो सकेंगे इसलिए आप अपराधके अनुसार हमें अवश्य दण्ड दीजिए || ४७ ।। इस प्रकार नम्रतासे भरे हुए और हृदयको प्रिय लगनेवाले वचन कहकर वह सुमुख दूत राजराजेश्वर चक्रवर्तीके हाथके इशारेसे चुप हो गया ।। ४८ ।। जब कि सज्जन पुरुषोंके वचन राक्षसोंके भी चित्तको मोहित कर लेते हैं तब सबको समान दृष्टिसे देखनेवाले भरत-जैसे महापुरुषोंके शान्तिपूर्ण चित्तकी तो बात ही क्या है ? ||४९ || जिनका मुखरूपी कमल प्रफुल्लित हो रहा है ऐसे चक्रवर्तीने 'यहाँ आओ' इस प्रकार प्रसन्नता भरे वचनोंसे उस दूतको अपने सिंहासन के निकट बैठाकर उससे इस प्रकार कहना प्रारम्भ किया कि 'महाराज अकम्पन ने इस प्रकार कहकर आपको क्यों भेजा है ? वे तो हमारे पिताके तुल्य हैं और इस समय हम सभीमें ज्येष्ठ हैं ।। ५०-५१ ॥ गृहस्थाश्रममें तो मेरे वे ही पूज्य हैं, उन्हीं से मैं भाई-बन्धु वाला हूँ, औरकी क्या बात ? अन्यायमार्ग में प्रवृत्ति करनेपर वे मुझे भी रोकनेवाले हैं ।। ५२ ।। इस युगमें मोक्षमार्ग चलानेके लिए जिस प्रकार भगवान् वृषभदेव गुरु हैं, दानकी परम्परा चलाने के लिए राजा श्रेयांस गुरु हैं और चक्रवर्तियोंकी वृत्ति चलाने में मैं मुख्य हूँ, उसी प्रकार स्वयंवरकी विधि चलाने के लिए वे ही गुरु हैं । यदि ये अकम्पन महाराज नहीं होते तो इस स्वयंवर मार्गका चलानेवाला दूसरा कौन था ? यह मार्ग अनादि कालका है

"We did not offer her to him to be taken as his wife," said the messenger. "It is the fault of the worshipper, not the deity, that the gods are angered."
43
"These are all my own creations, my own creations, my own brothers, and they are always affectionate towards me. How can I punish them? Do not think that way, because if your son were guilty, you would punish him too. This is the beginning of justice, and it began with you. Therefore, O Lord, command us what punishment we deserve for this offense. Should we be hanged? Should we be tortured? Or should our wealth be confiscated?"
44-46
"O God, by obeying your commands, we will be blessed in this world and the next. Therefore, punish us according to our offense."
47
Thus, speaking words that were humble and pleasing to the heart, the handsome messenger fell silent at the gesture of the Emperor Chakravarti.
48
If the words of the righteous can even captivate the minds of demons, what can be said of the peaceful minds of great men like Bharata, who see all beings equally?
49
With a cheerful expression, the Emperor, whose face was like a blooming lotus, said to the messenger, "Why did Maharaja Akampan send you here? He is like our father, and he is the eldest among us all."
50-51
"In the household, he is our revered elder, and I am his brother. What else can be said? He will stop me from going down the path of injustice."
52
"Just as Lord Vrishabhadeva is the guru for those who follow the path of liberation in this age, and King Shreyans is the guru for those who follow the tradition of charity, and I am the leader of the Chakravartis, so too, he is the guru for those who follow the tradition of the Swayamvara. If Maharaja Akampan were not here, who else would have continued this ancient tradition of the Swayamvara?"
