In the Padma Purana, there is a story about the questioning of the well-being of the body and the attainment of Siddhi. It is not considered inappropriate to repeatedly ask about such matters when they are relevant. ||356|| The Rakshasas and Vanaras, filled with wonder, beheld the self-illuminated city, which was like the celestial realm. ||357|| Their parents, their eyes filled with joy, touched the bodies of Dasanana and the others with trembling hands, offering their salutations. ||358|| When the sun was in the middle of the sky, the divine women began the bathing ceremony of the three Kumaras with great festivity. ||359|| They were seated on bathing platforms adorned with pearls and rich with various jewels, made of pure gold. ||360|| Their feet, with their reddish hue like the tender leaves, were placed on footrests, making them appear like the rising sun on the peak of Mount Meru. ||361|| Then, they were bathed with pitchers made of jewels, gold, and silver, their mouths covered with leaves, adorned with garlands, their forms veiled by a radiance that rivaled the moon and the sun, filled with fragrant water that perfumed the entire sky, with one main mouth and many smaller ones, around which swarms of bees hovered, and which roared like thunderous clouds due to the cascading water. ||362-364|| Then, they were anointed with fragrant water and other substances that enhanced their radiance, accompanied by the auspicious sounds of trumpets and other instruments. ||365|| Afterwards, their bodies were adorned with divine garments and ornaments, and the women of the clan performed various auspicious rituals with great respect. ||366|| Then, the three Kumaras, who resembled divine princes and brought joy to their loved ones, respectfully offered their salutations to their teachers. ||367|| Seeing the wealth of knowledge they had attained, the teachers blessed them, saying, "May you live long and prosper." ||368||
