“Victory be to the joy of the world ! Victory be to one with auspicious marks ! Glory be to thee, oh bull among the best of ksatriyas. Awake oh Lord, Master of the Universe, Establish religion and order For the well-being of all living beings. These will bring supreme benefit, The best of welfare and happiness,
To all beings in all the worlds." So saying, they shouted victory again and again.

Even before Arhat Rşabha courted the life of a householder, so coveted by the habits of men, he was in possession of unprecedented, unlimited and unimpeded knowledge and faith. So with this unprecedented and unlimited knowledge and faith, Arhat Rşabha perceived the time of his renunciation. On perceiving this, he gave up his silver, his gold, his wealth, his granaries, his majesty, his kingdom, his army, his transport, his treasury, his store, his town, his seraglio and his subjects; and having given these up, and having discarded riches, gold, precious stones, jewels, pearls, conches stones, corals, rubies, and many other valuable objects, he had them distributed by the assistants among indigent persons.
