The Supreme Jina, free from the touch of impurities, emerged from the womb like a crystal, when the time was ripe. ||159||
Then, a great festival was celebrated by the name of the son's birth, with all the people rejoicing as prescribed. ||160||
The three worlds were shaken, Indra's throne trembled, and all the gods and demons exclaimed, "What is this?" ||161||
Then, without being blown, the conch shell sounded in the abodes of the celestial beings. The drums roared spontaneously in the houses of the Vyantaras. In the abode of the celestial astrologers, the roar of lions was heard suddenly, and in the houses of the Kalpa-dwelling gods, the sound of bells echoed. ||162-163||
With such auspicious omens and the bowing of the crowns, the Indras, using their knowledge of the future, came to know about the birth of the Tirthankara. ||164||
Then, the Indras, filled with great enthusiasm and adorned with ornaments, mounted their elephant king, Airavata, and set out for the house of Nabhiraj. ||165||
At that time, some of the gods were dancing with love, some were clapping their hands, some were raising their armies, some were roaring like lions, spreading their sound throughout the world, some were making various costumes with skill, and some were singing beautifully. ||166-167||
At that time, this world, filled with great sounds, seemed to be falling apart due to the gods going up and down. ||168||
Then, Kubera created the city of Ayodhya. That city of Ayodhya was surrounded by a huge fort, the size of Mount Vijaya. ||169||
A deep moat, reaching down to the netherworld, encircled it on all sides, and the tops of the tall towers extended far into the sky. ||170||
The Indras, filled with great blessings, reached the house of Nabhiraj in an instant, which was covered with a garment of light from various jewels. ||171||
Indra, along with the gods, circumambulated the city three times and then entered the delivery room, bringing the Jina from the abode of the Pauloma. ||172||
