## Ninth Chapter
The three great whirlpools of sorrow, the three great serpents of vices, in this ocean of the world, you are the helmsman for those who are wandering. || 68 ||
O Lord! You are the one who rescues everyone from this great wheel of samsara, which is spinning rapidly, with your hand of instruction. || 69 ||
Now, the saints, having traversed the path shown by you, rest on the peak of the three worlds, free from the fatigue of birth, and eternally blissful. || 70 ||
Just as the water offered to the ocean is only for its worship, so too, the words of the Lokantaka Devas were only for the worship of the self-enlightened one. || 71 ||
At that time, Indra and the other Devas of the four realms arrived. They also bowed down and spoke the same words that the Lokantaka Devas had spoken repeatedly before them. || 72 ||
At that time, the self-enlightened Lord Rishabhadeva, addressed by the Devas, was adorned like a great lake whose lotus-clusters are blooming with the rays of the sun. || 73 ||
At that time, the accomplished Lord, who had divided the earth among his hundred sons, the valiant and wise, was adorned like the sun, spreading his brilliance for a thousand rays. || 74 ||
Then, the Devas anointed the Jina with the water of the ocean of milk, smeared him with fragrant unguents, and adorned him with the finest garments, ornaments, and garlands. || 75 ||
The Lord, seated in the assembly, adorned with jewel-like ornaments, surrounded by Devas and kings, was adorned like Mount Meru, surrounded by long mountain ranges stretching east and west. || 76 ||
Then, Vaishravana created a new, divine palanquin, named Sudarshana, which was also very beautiful in its splendor. || 77 ||
That palanquin appeared like the sky or a beautiful woman, for just as the sky is resplendent with the brilliance of stars and constellations, and a beautiful woman is radiant with the brilliance of her pupils and jewel-like ornaments, so too, that palanquin was resplendent with the brilliance of jewel-like stars. || 78 ||
