14. The glorious Emperor by name Rishabha, not dependent upon another, (absolute) by nature and eternally untouched by any evil, ever in the enjoyment of pure blissfulness; being the Supreme Ruler himself, still as if he were of the opposite nature, did the righteous duties in order to teach the world ignorant of it the course of duties handed down through Time; he was full of equanimity, and was tranquil and devout, kind and compassionate. And having turned to the attainment of righteousness, wealth, renown, children, pleasures and salvation, he ordained his people in domestic life.
