This chapter opens with a soliloquy by the Illustrious One, in which he tells the audience that he has been sent to guard the realm of the gods. He tells them that they are forbidden to enter the realm, and that he will protect them even if they are not allowed to enter. He then tells them the story of how he came to be in the realm and how he saw the beauty of the light from within himself and not from the creator. He also tells them how he will be killed if he does not leave the realm.
