In the Padma Purana, Bharata, taking those Vidhyadharas, went to his mothers. They, filled with sorrow and tears, were comforted by them. ||101|| The beautiful story of Rama-Lakshmana's mothers and the Vidhyadhar messengers, which gladdens the mind and announces their glory, continued. Meanwhile, thousands of swift chariots, filled with gold and jewels, blocked the path of the sun. Thousands of Vidhyadharas, resembling colorful clouds, arrived, just as the mighty gods arrive at the time of the Jina's descent. ||102-104|| Then, those Vidhyadharas, stationed in the sky, showered a rain of various jewels, illuminating the directions with their brilliance. ||105|| When Ayodhya was filled, in every family's house, there were piles of gold and other riches, like mountains. ||106|| It seemed that the inhabitants of Ayodhya had performed virtuous deeds in past lives, or had come down from heaven, for they had attained such prosperity at that time. ||107|| At that time, Bharata had this proclamation made in the city: "Whoever is not satisfied with jewels and gold, let that man or woman, without fear, enter the royal palace and fill their house with wealth as they desire." ||108-109|| Hearing this proclamation, the people of Ayodhya came and said, "There is no empty space left in our houses." ||110|| Women, whose lotus-like faces were blooming from the contact of the sun of wonder, and whose poverty had been destroyed, were praising Rama. ||111|| At that time, many skilled Vidhyadhar artisans came and coated the floors of the houses with silver and gold. ||112|| They built many beautiful Jina temples and large, magnificent palaces, as high as the peaks of the Vindhyachal mountains. ||113|| They constructed various mandapas, supported by thousands of pillars, adorned with strings of pearls, and decorated with various statues. ||114|| They filled the doorways with large jewels, shining with rays, and erected groups of toranas, adorned with rows of flags. ||115|| Thus, Ayodhya, filled with many wonders and celebrating a grand festival, became like Lanka, the conqueror. ||116||
