**149**

Having applied obeisance, the delighted celestial maidens, who were to become the parents of the Jina, said, "We have come here from the celestial realm by the command of Indra, and we wish to introduce ourselves." (40)

"O Goddesses! Please give your command, may you be prosperous, and may you live for a long time," said the celestial maidens, with great respect, awaiting the command of Marudevi. (41)

At that time, many celestial maidens, having attained supreme wonder, described the ocean of qualities like form, youth, beauty, and auspiciousness of Marudevi. (42)

Many other celestial maidens praised the skills of Marudevi, which included knowledge of letters, painting, music, mathematics, and scriptures. (43)

Some celestial maidens themselves demonstrated their skills in playing the lute and other instruments. Some sang sweet songs, which were like nectar to the ears. (44)

Some celestial maidens, filled with gestures, expressions, and playful movements, danced gracefully, adorned with the essence of love and other emotions, a delight to the eyes. (45)

Some celestial maidens were eager to hold Marudevi's hands, some to hold her feet, and some to hold other parts of her body. (46)

Some celestial maidens were eager to massage her body with oil, some to apply a paste, some to bathe her, and some to squeeze the water from her bathrobe. (47)

Some celestial maidens were eager to bring fragrant substances, some to apply them, some to arrange colorful garments, and some to dress her. (48)

Some celestial maidens were eager to bring ornaments and garlands, some to adorn her body, some to bring divine food, and some to feed her. (49)

Some celestial maidens were eager to spread out beds and seats, some to offer betel nut, some to keep the spittoon, some to perform household tasks, some to hold the mirror, some to hold the fly whisk, some to hold the umbrella, and some to fan her. (50-51)

Some celestial maidens, holding swords in their hands, were eager to protect her body, and they remained awake, guarding her from planets, demons, and ghosts. (52)

Some celestial maidens stood at the inner door of the house, and some at the outer door, holding swords, discs, maces, weapons, golden staffs, and other weapons. (53)

Dhrti, Kirti, and the other ninety-nine celestial maidens, including Vidutkumari and Dikkumari, arrived from the directions and sub-directions with great fanfare six months earlier. (39)
