Harivamsha Purana
7
Indra, having gathered the hairs of the Lord, placed them in a casket adorned with the rays of a cluster of jewels, and cast them into the ocean of milk. At that time, the Lord was adorned with a body of extraordinary brilliance. || 123 || The place where Lord Neminatha, the protector of living beings, renounced his extremely pure garment-like possessions, quickly became a renowned pilgrimage site in the world, as described in the scriptures. || 124 || At that time, adorned with four kinds of knowledge, the Lord, the liberator of those who are free from possessions, was shining like the moon amidst countless sages, gods, and great poets, and among the planets and stars. || 125 || On the fourth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Shraavana, the Lord, the master of the vow, took initiation with a fast of two days. Therefore, on that day, humans, gods, and demons, who were givers of excellent things, celebrated the initiation ceremony with great enthusiasm. || 126 || Then, the gods and demons praised the Lord in this way: "O Lord, you are capable of defeating Kamadeva, you are the refuge of worldly beings who are engaged in beneficial activities, you are free from anger, you are free from greed, you are established in the highest Dharma, you are the protector of Dharma, and you are a sage, a meditator. Therefore, we bow to you." Thus, praising and bowing from all sides, the kings, who had Lord Neminatha, the ascetic, dwelling in their hearts, and who were like the revolving wheel of Nemi, the holder of the wheel, departed to their respective places. || 127-128 ||
