## The Form of the White Meditation
**Yoga Shastra, Eleventh Light, Verses 30-47**
||930. Even though their nails and hair naturally grow, they do not grow, having seen the destruction of karma accumulated over hundreds of births, they are afraid. ||38||
||931. The gods pacify the dust with showers of fragrant water, and they make the earth fragrant with showers of blooming flowers. ||39||
||932. The three umbrellas, purified by the devotion of the gods, are held in a circular manner above the Lord, like the three sources of the Ganges River. ||40||
**Meaning:** A radiant halo, surpassing even the brilliance of the sun, appears around the body of the Tirthankara Bhagwan, illuminating all directions. When Bhagwan walks on earth, the benevolent, devotional gods immediately establish golden lotuses at each place where his feet touch the ground. The wind blows favorably. Birds circle Bhagwan from the right. Trees bend down, and the thorns on them point downwards. The fragrant Ashok tree, adorned with red leaves and blooming flowers, seems to naturally praise Bhagwan with the buzzing of bees, and it stands majestically, casting its shade upon him. As if atoning for their sins in aiding Kamadeva, all six seasons appear together near the Lord. At that time, the divine drums resound in the sky, announcing the auspicious journey of Bhagwan's imminent Nirvana. In Bhagwan's presence, even the objects of the five senses become pleasing in an instant, for whose qualities do not increase in the company of great souls? Everyone's qualities increase. Hair, nails, etc., have the nature to grow, but seeing the destruction of karma accumulated over hundreds of births, they are afraid and do not dare to grow. The gods pacify the dust with showers of fragrant water, and they make the earth fragrant with showers of blooming flowers. The Indra, with devotion, hold three umbrellas in a circular manner above the Lord, as if they were holding the three circular sources of the Ganges River. ||31-40||
||933. To declare, "This is our only Lord," Indra raises his finger high, and a jeweled banner adorns the front of Bhagwan. ||41||
||934. Beautiful, white fly whisks, like the radiance of the autumn moon, are waved over him. When they reach his lotus face, they create an illusion like that of royal swans. ||42||
||935. Three high walls surround him, shining brightly, as if the right knowledge, vision, and conduct have taken three forms. ||43||
||936. Wishing to bestow grace upon the people of the four directions simultaneously, Bhagwan has four bodies and four faces, as if he has taken four forms in the four directions to benefit everyone. ||44||
||937. When the gods, demons, humans, and serpent gods bow down at his feet, Bhagwan, seated on his throne, appears like the sun shining on the peak of the eastern mountain. ||45||
||938. At that time, the Dharmachakra, the symbol of the universal sovereignty of the three worlds, stands before him, illuminated by the radiance of his effulgent form, which spreads light in all directions. ||46||
||939. The lords of the worlds, the lords of the celestial chariots, the lords of the lights, and the lords of the forests, all stand in the assembly, their number exceeding a hundred million. ||47||
