हरिवंशपुराणे इति नक्तं दिवं दृष्ट्वा देवताभिरनुष्ठितम् । आत्मनः शासनं लोके परेषामतिदुर्लभम् ॥५४॥ निश्चितश्चापि षण्मासान् पतन्त्या वसुधारया । नामिना मरुदेव्या च प्रार्थ्यस्तीर्थकरोद्भवः ॥५५॥ अथासौ सौम्यताराभिरभितः कृतसेवना । मरुदेवी सुरस्त्रीभिश्चन्द्रलेखेव हारिणी ॥५६॥ शरदभ्रावलीशुभ्रे प्रासादेऽगुरुधूपिते । नानोपधानकाधाने शयाना शयने विधौ ॥५७॥ निधीनिव निशाशेषे ददर्श शुमसूचकान् । क्रमेण षोडशस्वप्नानिमान दुर्लमदर्शनान् ॥५॥ प्रभूतदानधाराकरपुष्करधारिणम् । गीयमानं शुचिं भृङ्गैर्दानार्थिमिरिवेश्वरम् ॥५९॥ सुप्रतिध्वनिविक्षिप्तप्रतिपक्षं शुमोदयम् । शुमं भद्राकृतिं धीरं वृषं वृषमिवोन्नतम् ।।६०॥ मत्तेभ तमिवान्वेष्टं मदगन्धेन सूचितम् । सिंहमुस्थितमद्राक्षोनखदंष्ट्रासटोत्कटम् ॥६॥ चित्ररत्नघटाटोपघनघोषवनाघनैः । श्रियोऽभिषेकमम्मोजे नवाम्भोमिरिवावनेः ।।६।। नानापुष्पवने दीर्घ श्रीमाले सौरभौकटे । संभूयेव च सर्वतश्रीभिः सेवार्थमुद्धते ॥६३॥
गदा, शक्ति और स्वर्णमय छड़ी हाथमें लेकर खड़ी थीं ॥५३।। इस प्रकार लोकमें जो दूसरोंके लिए दुर्लभ थी, ऐसी देवियों द्वारा अपनी आज्ञाकी पूर्ति देखकर तथा लगातार छह माहसे पड़ती हुई रत्नधारासे राजा नाभिराज और मरुदेवीने निश्चय कर लिया कि हमारे यहाँ सबके द्वारा प्रार्थनीय तीर्थकरका जन्म होगा ।।५४-५५॥
___ अथानन्तर मनोहर ताराओंसे सेवित चन्द्रकलाके समान अनेक देवियोंसे सेवित मनोहरांगी मरुदेवी, शरद् ऋतुको मेघावलीके समान सफेद एवं अगुरु चन्दनसे सुवासित राजभवनमें नाना गद्दा-तकियोंसे युक्त चन्द्रतुल्य शय्यापर शयन कर रही थी कि उसने रात्रिके पश्चिम भागमें निधियों के समान शुभसूचक, इन दुर्लभ सोलह स्वप्नोंको क्रमसे देखा ॥५६-५८॥ प्रथम ही उसने सफेद हाथी देखा, ऐमा हाथी कि जो अत्यधिक मदकी धारासे गोली सूंड़ और उसके अग्रभागको धारण कर रहा था तथा मदके अर्थी भ्रमर जिसके आस-पास गुंजार कर रहे थे। वह हाथी किसी राजाके समान जान पड़ता था क्योंकि जिस प्रकार राजाके कर पुष्कर-हस्त कमल अत्यधिक दानके संकल्पके लिए गृहीत जल की धारासे गीले रहते हैं उसी प्रकार उस हाथीके कर पुष्करसूंड और उसके नथने अत्यधिक दान -मद जलकी धारासे गीले थे और जिस प्रकार राजाके समीप खड़े दानके अर्थीजन उसकी स्तुति किया करते हैं उसी प्रकार दान-मदके अर्थी भ्रमर उसके समीप
नार कर रहे थे।॥५९॥ दूसरी बार उसने भद्र आकृतिको धारण करनेवाला एक धीर-वीर बैल देखा। वह बैल ठीक धर्मके समान जान पड़ता था क्योंकि जिस प्रकार धर्म अपनी मधुर देशनासे एकान्तवादी प्रतिपक्षियोंको पराजित कर देता है उसी प्रकार वह बैल भी अपनी हुम्बाध्वनिसे प्रतिपक्षी बैलोंको पराजित कर रहा था, जिस प्रकार धर्म शुभ अभ्युदयको देता है उसी प्रकार वह बैल भी शुभ अभ्युदयको सूचित करनेवाला था। जिस प्रकार धर्म भद्राकृति-मंगलकारी होता है उसी प्रकार वह भद्राकृति-उत्तम आकृतिका धारक था, जिस प्रकार धर्म धीर-धी बुद्धिको प्रेरणा करनेवाला है उसी प्रकार वह बैल भी धीर-गम्भीर था और जिस प्रकार धर्म उन्नत-उत्कृष्ट होता है उसी प्रकार वह बैल भी उन्नत--ऊँचा था ॥६०॥ तीसरी बार तीक्ष्ण नख, दंष्ट्रा और सटा (गरदनके बालों) से युक्त एक सिंह देखा। वह सिंह ऐसा जान पड़ता था मानो पहले स्वप्नमें दिखे हाथोके मदको गन्ध पा उसे ढूँढ़नेके लिए ही तैयार खड़ा हो ॥६१।। चौथी बार उसने नाना रत्नमयी घड़ोंके विशाल शब्दसे युक्त मदोन्मत्त हाथियोंके द्वारा कमलपर बैठी लक्ष्मीका अभिषेक देखा । लक्ष्मीका वह अभिषेक ऐसा जान पड़ता था मानो इन्द्रधनुषसे उपलक्षित एवं घनघोर गर्जना करनेवाले मेघ नूतन जलसे पृथिवीका ही अभिषेक कर रहे हों ।।६२।। पांचवीं बार उसने नाना पुष्पोंसे व्याप्त तथा अत्यन्त १. घनाघना मत्तगजा मघाश्च ( इति क. प्रतिटिप्पण्याम् ) ।

Having seen the night and day as one, the deities performed their duties. The rule of one's own self is very rare in the world. ||54||
It was also decided that the birth of a Tirthankara would take place in six months, as the earth was being showered with jewels. ||55||
Then, surrounded by beautiful stars, and served by the celestial women, Marudevi, like the moon with its rays, ||56||
lay down in a palace, white like the autumn clouds, fragrant with aguru incense, adorned with various cushions, in a bed fit for a king. ||57||
At the end of the night, she saw auspicious omens, sixteen dreams in sequence, rare to behold. ||58||
First, she saw a white elephant, bearing a stream of mad (intoxication) in its trunk, and its front part, and the bees, the messengers of mad, buzzing around it. The elephant seemed like a king, for just as the hands of a king, the lotus-hands, are wet with the stream of water taken for the purpose of great giving, so the trunk and nostrils of the elephant were wet with the stream of mad-water, and just as the messengers of giving stand near the king and praise him, so the bees, the messengers of mad, were buzzing near him. ||59||
Secondly, she saw a bull, bearing a noble form, a brave, strong bull. The bull seemed like Dharma, for just as Dharma defeats the solitary opponents with his sweet teachings, so the bull was defeating the opponent bulls with his roaring sound, just as Dharma gives auspicious rise, so the bull was the one who indicated auspicious rise, just as Dharma is of noble form, auspicious, so he was the one who bore a noble form, excellent form, just as Dharma inspires courage, wisdom, so the bull was also courageous, deep. And just as Dharma is elevated, excellent, so the bull was also elevated, high. ||60||
Thirdly, she saw a lion with sharp claws, fangs, and mane. The lion seemed as if he was ready to search for the scent of the mad of the elephant seen in the first dream. ||61||
Fourthly, she saw the anointing of Lakshmi, seated on a lotus, by intoxicated elephants, with a great sound of various jeweled pitchers. The anointing of Lakshmi seemed as if the clouds, marked by the rainbow and roaring loudly, were anointing the earth with new water. ||62||
Fifthly, she saw a forest full of various flowers, and very fragrant, with a long garland of flowers, and surrounded by all the goddesses, eager to serve. ||63||
A mace, a spear, and a golden staff were in her hand. ||53||
Thus, seeing the fulfillment of her own command by the goddesses, who were rare in the world for others, and the continuous shower of jewels for six months, King Nabhiraj and Marudevi decided that the birth of a Tirthankara, worthy of being prayed to by all, would take place in their home. ||54-55||
Then, surrounded by beautiful stars, and served by the celestial women, Marudevi, like the moon with its rays, ||56||
lay down in a palace, white like the autumn clouds, fragrant with aguru incense, adorned with various cushions, in a bed fit for a king. ||57||
