## Ninth Canto
181. Having been awakened by the radiant light, he (Shreyans) realized the ten past lives of himself and the Lord. He fell unconscious at the Lord's feet.
182. Even while unconscious, Shreyans gently wiped the Lord's feet with the soft hair of his head. He washed them with a stream of warm, joyful tears, to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
183. Remembering the way the two sons of the Charan, Shrimati and Vajrajangha, had given charity in the past, he (Shreyans) was filled with devotion.
184. "O Lord! Stay, stay!" he exclaimed, leading the Lord inside the house. He placed the Lord on a high seat and washed the Lord's lotus feet.
185. Knowing the rules of charity and being the one who implements them himself, Shreyans performed the three-fold prostration, offering worship to the Lord's feet.
186. Filled with faith and other virtues, he lifted a pot filled with sugarcane juice, a vessel with all the auspicious signs, and said, "O Lord! This sugarcane juice is free from the sixteen origination defects, the sixteen production defects, the ten passions, and the four giver-related defects of smoke, embers, measure, and connection. It is fit for offering. Please accept it."
187. With a pure heart, the Lord Vrishabhadeva, standing with his feet straight, showed the method of taking the meal, accepting the offering with his hand, for the growth of his conduct.
188. Having received the Lord, the auspicious Jina, as the recipient of his charity, Shreyans experienced five wonders, arising from five types of purity.
189. "Oh, what a gift! Oh, what a gift! Oh, what a recipient! Oh, what a method of giving!" Such sounds arose from the heavens, uttered by the gods.
190. The divine drums in the sky, sounding like thunder, proclaimed to the three worlds, "The birth of the one who establishes the pilgrimage of charity has taken place!"
191. The wind, fragrant with the breath of the gods, blew, as if exhaled by the faces of the directions, filled with the glory of the great charity.
192. A rain of flowers, endless and emanating from the bodies of the gods, fell. And again, an endless rain of flowers of auspiciousness fell from the heavens.
