How often law and duty come into conflict with the desires of the heart, the possession of wealth and fame prevents one from finding peace and tranquility, the desire to comprehend the meaning of life is hampered by attachments and obligations to relatives – this book contains stories about how the kings of the past resolved these contradictions : Priyavrata, Nabhi, Rishabha and others. Stories from the life of the sage Bharata and his instructions will inspire the reader on spiritual quests: “In a world where everything is transitory, the soul, free and eternal by nature, becomes a prisoner of fear and obsession. But those who were born in a human body are luckier than others, for looking at the world through human eyes, you can free yourself from the shackles of illusion.” The book “Numbers” also describes the structure of the universe, what are the sizes and shapes of the earth’s islands, and what creatures inhabit them.
