## Ninth Chapter
The palanquin shone brightly, adorned with water-filled pitchers, like the sky with its rain-laden clouds. It was beautiful, adorned with stars like flowers, and with auspicious constellations like large fruits. ||83|| It was adorned with dark blue gems, like the sky with its dark blue clouds, and was presented to the great sage by Kubera, like a beautiful woman to her beloved. ||84||
Then, the joyful Indra, after asking his parents, children, and dependents, requested the Lord to ascend the palanquin. ||85|| The Lord, attended by Indra and other gods holding fly whisks and umbrellas, walked thirty-two steps on the earth. ||86|| He was greeted with folded hands, shouts of victory, and blessings from the people, and ascended the palanquin like the sun rising on the auspicious dawn. ||87||
The kings lifted the palanquin from the earth, and the gods, standing ready, lifted it into the sky, as if carrying out the Lord's command. ||88|| Then, the conch shells, drums, flutes, and lutes resounded, filling the directions with their music. ||89||
The sky above was filled with the celestial armies of the gods, while the earth below was filled with kings, warriors, and powerful rulers, all moving together. ||90|| The nine rasas (emotions) were manifested in the sky by the dancing apsaras, while the sorrow of the liberated souls was dispelled below. ||91||
