In the Padma Purana, Nrisimha, surrounded by his inner palace friends, stood with folded hands, a lotus of praise and hymns. ||12|| The king, circumambulating him, shone like the sun revolving around the Meru mountain. ||13|| Then, with his hair, he cleansed the Lord's feet, washing them with tears of joy. ||14|| Offering a golden vessel, he performed the foot-washing ceremony, placing him in a pure place, according to the highest ritual. ||15|| Taking a cool drink of sugarcane juice from a pitcher, he performed the supreme Parana, his mind drawn to the Lord's virtues. ||16|| Then, the delighted gods, with a chorus of "Sadhu" and "Dhannya," filled the sky with the sound of drums. ||17|| The lords of the Pramathas, showering down five-colored flowers, exclaimed with joy, "Oh, what a gift! Oh, what a gift!" ||18|| The wind, fragrant and sweet, blew through the directions, while a stream of jewels poured down, filling the sky. ||19|| Thus, King Shreyans received divine honors that astonished the three worlds, while Emperor Bharat, filled with great joy, worshipped him. ||20|| Then, initiating the practice of the Panipatra Vrata, he, the conqueror of the senses, immersed himself in auspicious meditation. ||21|| From that pure meditation, his delusion vanished, and he attained Kevala Jnana, the knowledge that illuminates both the world and the beyond. ||22|| With this, a great halo of light arose, dispelling the distinction between night and day, its radiance illuminating all. ||23|| In that place, a magnificent Ashoka tree appeared, its trunk thick, adorned with jeweled flowers, and its leaves a vibrant red. ||24||
