The third chapter, the virtuous Lord, is enlightened, the cause of the welfare of the three worlds. The path to liberation, which had been interrupted, is now open. ||269|| These beings are revolving in the great ocean of worldly suffering. They are not being reformed without a teacher. ||270|| Let the beings now walk the path shown by you. They will attain the position of the liberated beings, which is filled with eternal happiness and is at the forefront of the world. ||271|| Thus, the words spoken by the gods were repeated before the self-enlightened Lord, the great soul, Adi Nath. ||272|| As soon as the Lord decided to leave his home, the gods, led by Indra, arrived as before. ||273|| Arriving, all the gods praised the Lord with salutations and repeatedly said, "O Lord, you have made a very good decision." ||274||
Then, the Lord, mounted on a palanquin, which was adorned with a canopy of jewels that filled the directions, with beautiful fly whisks on either side, like the rays of the moon, shining with the reflection of a full moon, adorned with jeweled bells, half-moon shaped, decorated with banners of cloth, fragrant with divine garlands, adorned with pearl necklaces, beautiful to behold, resembling a celestial chariot, with small bells ringing, and on which Indra had placed his shoulder, made by divine sculptors, left his home. ||275-278|| Then, the space between the three worlds was filled with the sound of the instruments and the dancing gods. ||279|| Accompanied by the gods, filled with great splendor and devotion, the Lord reached the garden called Tilaka. ||280|| The Lord Vrishabhadeva went to that garden called Tilaka, away from the people, so that place became known as "Prajag." Or, the Lord performed a great sacrifice, or renunciation, at that place, so it became known as "Prayag." ||281|| Arriving there, the Lord asked permission from his parents and relatives to take initiation, and then said, "Namaha Siddhebhyah" - salutations to the Siddhas. ||282||
Here, the Lord's mind was engaged in good thoughts, when at that very moment, the celestial gods arrived and began to make the following request. ||268|| They said, "O Lord, the thought you have had to benefit the beings of the three worlds is very good. The path to liberation has been closed for a long time." ||269|| These beings are diving into the ocean of worldly suffering without a teacher. ||270|| At this time, the beings will walk the path shown by you and attain the position of the liberated beings, which is filled with eternal happiness and is at the forefront of the world. ||271||
