Though He was master of Himself, and
by Himself permanently devoid of all
evils and though he was God Himself
who is (ever) in the enjoyment of the
bliss unimpaired, the Lord, with the
name of Rishabha, taught by his own
example the Dharmas to those ignorant
of them. Remaining equal towards all,
subdued in passions, full of friendliness
and sympathy, He ordained the world in
domestic life leading to the acquisition of
Dharma, material gains, fame, children,
pleasure and (in the end) salvation also.
For, whatever the great man does, that
the world does after him.
