In the Padma Purana, the Lord, adorned with ornaments, the embellishment of the three worlds, was thus praised by the gods, led by Indra. ||201||
In this world devoid of Dharma, enveloped in the darkness of ignorance, you have risen like the sun for the noble beings who wander about. ||202||
With the pure rays of your words, like the moon of the Jinas, the noble beings, like the lotus, will now attain enlightenment. ||203||
O Lord, you are the great lamp that burns in this house of the world, born from the fire of perfect knowledge, for the purpose of the noble beings seeing the true nature of the soul and non-soul. ||204||
You are the sharp arrow born to destroy the enemy of sin. You are the one who will burn the forest of existence with the fire of meditation. ||205||
O Lord, you have risen like Garuda to subdue the great serpents of evil passions, and you are like the mighty wind that disperses the clouds of doubt. ||206||
The noble beings, like the chatakas, thirsty for the drops of the water of Dharma, look up to you, the Lord, the great treasure of nectar. ||207||
Salutations to you, whose pure fame is sung by the three worlds. Salutations to you, the tree adorned with the flowers of virtues, the giver of desired fruits. ||208||
Salutations to you, the sharp axe that cleaves the wood of karma. Salutations to you, who are always the thunderbolt that shatters the mountain of delusion. ||209||
Salutations to you, the water that quenches the fire of suffering, the sky that is free from the dust of attachment. ||210||
Thus, praising the Lord with proper rites and bowing down again and again, the gods, with joyful faces, placed him on the elephant and set out for Ayodhya. ||211||
Then, Indra, having placed the Jina child in the lap of his mother, the queen, performed the great celebration of joy and then went to his own abode with the other gods. ||212||
Then, the Lord was adorned with divine ornaments and anointed with fragrant perfumes that filled the air with delight. ||213||
