भुजाएँ नीचे की ओर लटक रही थीं, जिनका वक्षःस्थल श्रीवत्सके चिह्नसे सुशोभित था, जिनके समस्त लक्षण स्पष्ट दिखाई देते थे, जिनका मुख पूर्ण चन्द्रमाके समान था, जिनके नेत्र विकसित कमलके समान थे, और जिनके प्रतिबिम्बकी रचना भुलायी नहीं जा सकती थी । ऐसे अठारहवें अरनाथ जिनेन्द्रको सर्व भाव अर्थात् मन-वचन-कायसे प्रणाम कर तथा उनकी पूजा कर आदरसे भरे हुए राम-लक्ष्मण मित्रजनोंकी चिन्ता करते हुए रात्रिके समय उसी मन्दिरमें स्थित रहे ॥२२८ - २३० ॥ पुत्रवत्सल माताओंको जब पता चला कि राम-लक्ष्मण अर- जिनेन्द्रके मन्दिर में ठहरे हैं तब वे तत्काल दौड़ी आयीं। उस समय उनके नेत्र आंसुओंसे व्याप्त थे । उन्होंने बार-बार पुत्रोंका आलिंगन किया और बार-बार उनके साथ मन्त्रणा -- सलाह की। उन्हें पुत्रोंको देखते-देखते तृप्ति ही नहीं होती थी और संकल्प-विकल्पके कारण उनकी आत्मा हिंडोले पर चढ़ी हुई के समान चंचल हो रही थी । अन्तमें वे पुनः राजा दशरथके पास चली गयीं ||२३१-२३२॥ आचार्यं कहते हैं कि सब शुद्धियों में मनकी शुद्धि ही सबसे प्रशस्त है । स्त्री पुत्र और पति दोनोंका आलिंगन करती है परन्तु परिणाम पृथक्-पृथक् रहते हैं ||२३३ ॥

Padmapurana
The 18th Tirthankara, whose face was like a full moon, whose eyes were like blooming lotuses, and whose image could not be forgotten, was worshipped with all reverence by Rama and Lakshmana, who were filled with concern for their friends. They remained in that temple throughout the night. ||228-230||
When the mothers, who were devoted to their sons, learned that Rama and Lakshmana were staying at the Tirthankara's temple, they rushed there, their eyes filled with tears. They embraced their sons repeatedly and consulted with them. They could not be satisfied with just seeing their sons, and their minds were restless like a person riding a swing. Finally, they went back to King Dasharatha. ||231-232||
The Acharya says that among all purifications, purification of the mind is the most praiseworthy. A woman embraces her son and her husband, but the results are different in each case. ||233||
After that, the four queens, adorned with qualities, beauty, form, and attire, went to their steadfast husband, who was like Mount Meru, and said, "O Beloved! Save this ship of our family, which is sinking in the ocean of sorrow, and bring back Rama along with Lakshmana." ||234-235||
In response, King Dasharatha said, "This world, which is full of suffering, is not under my control. If my wish were to be fulfilled, I would want all beings to be happy forever." ||236||
"No one is destroyed by birth, old age, and death, which are like diseases. But the state of karma is diverse, so who, being wise, would grieve?" ||237||
"There is no satisfaction in seeing loved ones, nor in worldly pleasures, wealth, or life." ||238||
"When the enjoyment of the senses is not complete and life comes to an end, this being, like a bird leaving one tree for another, leaves one body and takes on another." ||239||
"You are mothers, that is, you have sons, so bring back your virtuous sons. Enjoy the prosperity that comes from having sons without any worry." ||240||
"I have renounced my claim to the kingdom and have turned away from evil deeds. I am now following the path of a sage, fearing the consequences of my actions." ||241||
His arms hung down, his chest adorned with the Srivatsa mark, all his auspicious signs were clearly visible, his face was like a full moon, his eyes were like blooming lotuses, and his image could not be forgotten. Such was the 18th Tirthankara, Jinendra, who was worshipped with all reverence, that is, with mind, speech, and body, by Rama and Lakshmana, who were filled with concern for their friends. They remained in that temple throughout the night. ||228-230||
