Hanuman worshipped the Jinas with incense whose smoke rose high, with lamps having large flames, and with offerings of various kinds of garlands. ||56-58|| Then, anointed with sandalwood, adorned with saffron marks, his body covered with clothes, free from all sins, his crown marked with the monkey symbol and shining with a cluster of rays, his face filled with the rays of his eyes, which were wide open due to joy, Hanuman meditated on the Jina, and repeatedly praised the image of the Jina, the teacher of gods and demons, with hymns that destroy sins. ||59-61|| Then, seeing him, the apsaras, who were sitting in a state of playful delight, showered him with blessings. Placing the veena on his lap, he produced the nectar of music. ||62|| Gautam Swami says that those whose eyes are fixed on the worship of the Jina, and whose souls are devoted to the observance of rules, always hold welfare in their hands. ||63|| For those who are devoted to the worship of the Jina, and who behold his auspicious sight, nothing auspicious is unattainable, for they have pure minds. ||64|| To be born in the lineage of the Shravakas, to have firm faith in the Jina, and to die in a state of Samadhi, this is the complete fruit of human birth. ||65|| Thus, playing the veena for a long time, repeatedly praising and worshipping, offering salutations, and with a new and ever-renewed devotion, Hanuman, with a clear mind, did not turn his back on the Jinas. He left the Jina temple as if unwillingly, but with a sense of peace. ||66-67|| Then, mounting a chariot with twenty thousand horses, he circumambulated Mount Meru, like a great astrologer. ||68|| Like a king of mountains, Hanuman, adorned with beautiful actions, seemed to be asking for the final permission to leave Mount Meru. ||69|| Then, showering the best flowers on all the Jina temples, he slowly moved through the sky towards the Bharat Kshetra. ||70|| Then, filled with extreme love, the evening embraced the sun, as if she had found her abode on the setting sun, with a desire to dispel sorrow. ||71||
