Salutations to the Harivaṃśapurāṇa, which is as pure as the most luminous and clear stars, and as beautiful as a lake in the autumn season, filled with white lotuses. || 8 || Even the most ignorant of beings, from afar, bow down to Him. What to speak of others? He, the four-faced one, is present in all four directions, devoid of shadow. || 10 || It is indeed true that the Lord Nemi Jinendra is free from all kinds of afflictions, including food. Oh, what a great and wondrous power the Lord of the world possesses! || 11 || It is indeed true that even those who are arrogant and boastful, who are destined for good fortune, bow down to Him. For, such a being, who is free from duality, is truly awe-inspiring in his final state. || 12 || In whichever direction the Lord, accompanied by Indra, goes, the guardians of that direction, with their offerings, come forth to welcome Him. || 13 || The guardians of the directions, with auspicious offerings, follow Him wherever He goes. For, He is the universal sovereign. || 9 || The Ganga, following its three paths, flows, but the army of the gods, without any fixed path, flows in many directions. Thus, that army, influenced by the supremely pure Lord, purifies the earth. || 95 || In the midst of that army of gods, there was a very tall, radiant staff, resembling a staff, which extended from the lower to the upper realms, and was adorned with returning rays. || 96 || The radiance of that staff was threefold, and it appeared very large due to its own brilliance. It eclipsed all other celestial bodies except the sun. || 97 || The light of that staff extended to the end of the universe, was unobstructed, destroyed dense darkness, and surpassed the light of the sun. || 98 || Within that staff, there was another radiant group, resembling a human form, which was a bearer of light, and appeared like another luminous being. It was adorned with thousands of rays, and was formless. || 99 ||
