In the Padma Purana,
Having experienced that unbearable suffering, they were relieved. They ascended and attained the human realm, seeking refuge in the Jina. ||54||
Oh, most supreme God, you have done us a great favor. You have brought us together in this delightful, true vision. ||55||
Oh, great Sītendra! Go, go to your Āraṇācyuta kalpa. Experience the vast fruit of pure dharma and attain liberation. ||56||
Thus spoken to, that Sītendra, though free from the causes of sorrow, still grieved inwardly, being endowed with supreme power. ||57||
Granting them solace, he, the great, virtuous Sūrendra, gave them a beneficial, enlightening discourse and ascended to his own abode. ||58||
His soul filled with fear, he, devoted to the four refuges, circumambulated Mount Meru many times. ||59||
Remembering the suffering of hell, that best of the gods, his soul trembling, even in his chariot, heard that sound, the wise one. ||60||
His heart trembling, his face like the moon, that wise Sūrendra was eager to descend again to the land of Bharata. ||61||
With a multitude of chariots, swift as the wind, filled with horses, lions, and herds of intoxicated elephants, ||62||
With celestial beings adorned in garments of various colors, their crowns shining with monkeys and garlands, riding various vehicles, adorned with flags and umbrellas, ||63||
Holding bows, arrows, swords, spears, and maces, those beautiful gods, accompanied by groups of apsaras, moved everywhere. ||64||
The sky was filled with the sounds of mṛdanga, duṇḍubhi, flutes, and vīṇās, mixed with shouts of victory, joy, and prosperity. ||65||
Then, Sītendra, the bearer of supreme good fortune, went to the refuge of Padma. With folded hands, he bowed repeatedly in devotion. ||66||
Thus, with humility, he began to praise him, his mind firmly set on the means of liberation from the cycle of birth and death. ||67||
