All salaka-purusas (included in the list of sixty-three) have nihara (they respond to the calls of nature). (85) 79. There are not one hundred Indras, but only sixty-four Indras. (86) 80. There are only twelve abodes of heaven, and not more. (86) 81. The Yadavas, although they followed the path of the Jinas, partook of meat. (86) 82. A human being can go beyond the mountain called Manusottara. (86) 83. There are not twenty-four kamadevas. (86) 84. In the nine uppermost heavens, there is no minimum age limit (i.e., they all have the same age ?) [The last line of verse 87 is missing.

Those who believe in these indeed are sporting in the ocean of samsara. (88) In the city of Agra, there lives the wise and learned Kaurapal. For his sake Kavi Hema composed this poem. (89) I have not composed this work with any grudge (against the Svetambaras]nor have I done this just to support my own view. This is a preaching consisting of truth. May it make good people happy. (90) May these words of mine, which reveal the truth, illuminate the hearts of all. May they tear the cover of darkness in the form of doubt. Let there be an increase of knowledge and happiness.
