Padmapurana
In villages, forests, towns, cities, palaces, and cities, at every confluence and beautiful intersection, there were Jain temples adorned with great splendor. || 14-15 || These temples were radiant like the autumn moon, melodious with the sound of music, and resonated with the sound of the ocean, stirred by the sounds of various musical instruments. || 16 || These temples were filled with groups of virtuous people eager to offer prayers at all three times of the day, were profound, accompanied by various teachers, and adorned with offerings of various flowers. || 17 || They were endowed with supreme splendor, glittering with the brilliance of jewels of various colors, very spacious, tall, and adorned with large flags. || 18 || In these temples, there were statues of the Jinas made of gold, silver, and other materials, adorned with five colors, and accompanied by their families. || 19 || The peak of Mount Vijayardha was adorned with the beautiful Jain temples built in the city of the Vidyadharas at every location. || 20 || This entire world was filled with auspicious and beautiful Jain temples, adorned with gardens, made of various jewels, and was extremely beautiful. || 21 || Lanka, like the city of Indra, was also extremely beautiful, both inside and outside, with Jain temples that destroyed sins. || 22 ||
Gautama Swami says that Dasanana, whose radiance was like that of a rain cloud, whose arms were long like an elephant's trunk, whose face was like the full moon, whose lips were red like the midday flower, who was himself beautiful, whose eyes were large, whose movements were captivating to women's hearts, whose form was like that of Lakshmīdhara-Lakshmana, and who was endowed with a divine form, played with his eighteen thousand wives, who were like lotuses, like the sun. || 23-25 || In the house of Dasanana, which was surrounded by a row of other palaces, made of various jewels, and adorned with chaityas, and on which the eyes of all people were fixed, there was a peaceful house in the middle, which was spacious, radiant, and adorned with thousands of golden pillars, where the peaceful Jina, the Lord of Peace, was established. || 26 ||
